My pissy attitude is affecting my health!

OK so I posted on my positive thinking blog (http://tawnasssecret.blogspot.com/ temporary relapse to the negativity side this week and boy I tell you, if you are not mentally happy, there is no way you are going to be physically healthy. It has put a damper on me all week (well it’s Wed but this started on Sunday so it has been 4 days.

Photobucket
When I google for a picture, creidt ofr it was given to this website, shakadula.com
I still have been doing my P90X workouts but I have found that I have only been half doing them and I can tell a difference. This is not where I want to be, all pissy and negative and only half wokring out. I need and want to be putting my full energy into these and I have got to make a serious change in my attitude starting, yesterday. So, on a new mission today to change my attitude, get over myself, and do my P90X workouts to the fullest today. Even though today is suppose to be rest day I am re-doing Kenpo because I did not feel it like I should have yesterday.

I hope you are having a wonderful  healthy day with a smile on your face. I forgot my smile for only a few days and look where it got me….no where.

Tanks for coming by today! It means a lot!

Lack of posting due to frustration!

OK so I have to fully admit that the last few days I have had a lack of positive postings due to me letting my head get in the way again. I told you before that I would always be totally honest on this blog and I just had a small relapse in positivity in the last few days and boy has it just flowed the negative around me over the past few days. This just goes to show me more and more that a positive attitude really and truly does help with your daily life.

This picture just shows all my moods over the last few days so I thought I would ad it!I am back on the saddle again starting today. I can’t let the negativity get me down anymore.

I have been fighting with my old work place to get my pension out and rolled over into an IRA and I did win, yay! (if you ever want to know how I did that just contact me and we will talk). They were telling me for months (almost a year) that under their plan I was unable to roll it over but I DID it. I should be getting my check by Friday of this week and it will feel so good to be making interest on it for my retirement and not letting someone else make the interest on my money so yay!

That is the good note but there have been many other frustration with money, time, and did i mention money this week. So what have I learned before, more then once….”Tawna, spend it when you need to and money will find you!” I have done this before and it has ALWAYS worked out so why am I letting my head win again? I can’t do that, this is why I am not receiving all that I should, because I am letting the negativity win this week. So now I perk up and say to myself “a minor dent in my positive frame and now I will overcome and get over myself today. That dent is getting buffed out today!

My daughter’s 5th birthday is tomorrow and I need to be in a better mood so everyone, including me, can enjoy her birthday tomorrow without Mommy’s negative attitude bringing it down!

“Universe, I am back today, with a smile, and will be headache free in a few minutes, go to the store, get what I need and get over it! Life is wonderful, now quit whining about it Tawna cuz you only get one to enjoy it!”

Peace and love and have a very positive day everyone because I know I will darn it!

I dislike tea a lot….however I found one I can tolerate

First off let me start by saying:

“ARGHHHH I am out of coffee!!!!!! WT….why did I miss that on my grocery lost and NOT realize til this moring. It is pouring rain outside and I would have to take the kids out in it to go get some! OHHHHHHH…..COOOOFFFFEEEEEEE!”

OK I am calm now:) LOL

This is my real post for today now…

I am not a tea fan at all. In fact I will refuse ice-tea when I am the most dehydrated ever, I dislike it that much. I have never been able to understand the like of tea.

I however am on a green tea kick over the past year for many reasons. Not the caffeinated diet pill green tea but rather 100% natural green tea. It is great for the immunise system and over all health. I have tried about every one and some I would throw away after taking 2 sips out of the first batch and others I could do 2-3 days of it and I just could not get the acquired taste down.

This is the ONLY one I can tolerate:

Just a note: I am NOT getting paid in any way for this post. in fact Lipton has no idea I am even reviewing this product. I just truly love the Purple Acai and Blueberry Green Tea.  I do not like it strong and one packet will make me about 4 measuring cups of tea, and I do drink it all throughout the afternoon.
What I have noticed when I drink the tea?
1.  I am not craving any for mo caffeine such as more coffee or soda.
2.  I am drinking this around 1-2 in the afternoon and not feeling that “down” time in my energy level. Therefore I am getting more done and sitting less during the day.
3.  I have been a lot less angry and irritated during the mid afternoon. I don’t know why and if it is even related to the green tea but thee has been a change in me. This could also have something to do with my positive thinking journey too (my other blog if you would like to visit sometime) but I did start feeling better in the afternoon within the first 3 days of drinking it.
4. It does quench my thirst too.
There are definitely many pros with this tea, for me. I don’t really have any cons at all. The only struggle i have is when I need to be somewhere in the afternoon and I forget to bring it with me then I am sad because it is not like anyone sells it by the cup. I am pretty good about remembering it though!
Well there you have my little review. now off to make my tea, it is time!
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by today, I appreciate someone listening to me even if it is only for a minute or two. My kids and husband won’t, I have to get it from some where!!!

If I can do P90X anyone can! Week 11 baby!

Photobucket

Image from photobucket

Wow! It has been one tough workout today. Plyometrics is jump training and this is week 11 so I have done this workout quite a few times by now but today I am the most sore I have been with it. Why you ask? Well….I am doing more and more of the exercises the way they are suppose to be done and of course this makes me work harder so the soreness is there again.

There is one part of the workout where you literally hop on one leg for 30 seconds at a time. If that does not sound hard, then stop reading, hop on one foot til it hurts, time yourself and then see if you even make it past 10-15 seconds. This I could not do in the beginning but today I made the full 30 seconds on EACH leg TWICE and my legs and hips are still on fire!

There are a lot of other things that I did today too. I squat and actually touched the floor when I was suppose to. Instead of doing the cheat “catch step” I was actually full on jumping around from back to front and not stopping to take a break before Toni Horton was done.

I sweat more and I feel more, ouch but SWEET!

This is what it is all about! I am getting more and more fit and able to do  more and more of the exercises the way they are designed to be.

For all those that shy away form this workout because “it’s too hard,” you don’t HAVE to start out being able to do every exercise perfectly or at all! The whole point is to get in better shape, feel good and fight the obesity epidemic! I am doing that and it feel s good, even though I am sore!
Have a wonderful day everyone!
