Week 8 in review.........Work THAT!

Well I had my crank week in true fashion. I switched to intermediate and I am loving the switch. I have been lacking in energy due to a change in my monthly cycle. Much heavier flow (as forecasted) and in turn, I wasn't into cooking or preparing meals or much of anything really. I think I ate my fair share of almonds this week LOL. Also, after the emotional upheaval I had at the start of the week, I really just needed to take a step back and refocus on getting back to my priorities. With looking for a house and seeking financial advice, and reaching a stagnant point in emotional and spiritual growth, it has been quite painful and frustrating for me so I put my focus back on my relationships and being what I was called to and the refocus has been what I needed.

I may have the opportunity to care for my friends daughter so that she can go back to work and in turn I will get paid and she can know that her daughter is in good hands. This will be good for many reasons, so I hope it works out. As for growth in other areas, I am going to open my mouth more and speak more of what it is I want to say.

Plan for week 9 and beyond.......

- apply some nutritional discipline. I was going to go with doing the ED, but my anniversary weekend is in 21 day range so I will do that later on and maybe apply something else for the remainder of the STC.

- stick to 3 - 4 activities a day. I don't do well with more or I don't do more well (however best worded) as I know I am not a multi-tasker, just a many tasker. I don't like having more than one thing on the go at a time. I tend to have to give everything my full attention or I can be forgetful or go a little batty.

- encourage growth and progress in my husband's life. I do well when he is doing well. I want to do better if he is doing better. We both succeed when he does. How? Share my thoughts and keep on top of what needs to get done. No more sliding as many details are time sensitive atm.

- keep loving up on my workouts. I know I am getting stronger, and it's getting harder to see results as quick as before. But I am having fun and it helps to keep me sane and healthy, so there is no stopping now.

And while I was doing my intervals today some words stood out to me, so I thought I would share.....Have a great weekend!

Mary J Blige - Work That

Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out

Theres so many-a girls
I hear you been running
From the beautiful queen
That you could be becoming

You can look at my palm
And see the storm coming
Read the book of my life
And see I've overcome it
Just because the length of your hair ain't long
And they often criticize you for your skin tone
Wanna hold your head high
Cause you're a pretty woman
Get your runway stride home
And keep going

Girl live ya life

I just wanna be myself
Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Girl be yourself
That's why I be myself
And I'm gonna love it

Let em get mad
They gonna hate anyway
Don't you get that?
Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan
They'll never be happy
Cause they're not happy with themselves

Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
Na na work what you got
It's okay show yourself some love
Na na work what you got
Don't worry bout who's saying what
It's gonna be fine
Work what you got


Feelin great because the light's on me
Celebrating the things that everyone told me
Would never happen but God has put his hands on me
And aint a man alive could ever take it from me
Working with what I got I gotta keep on
Taking care of myself I wanna live long
Aint never ashamed what life did to me
Wasn't afraid to change cause it was good for me

I wanna...

I just wanna be myself
Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Girl be yourself
That's why I be myself
And I'm gonna love it

Let em get mad
They gonna hate anyway
Don't you get that?
Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan
They'll never be happy
Cause they're not happy with themselves

Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
Na na work what you got
It's okay show yourself some love
Na na work what you got
Don't worry bout who's saying what
It's gonna be fine
Work what you got

Work that

Work that
Girl don't hold back
You just be yourself

Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
