TRY!

You know ... whether it is writing, exercising, achieving any other goal, or overcoming a trial, we all have to TRY. I am a Pink fan, and her performance at the 2014 Grammys was impressive. She didn't even look out of breath by the end of the six minute performance.

Here's the video in case you missed it (worth viewing!):

Converting to a New Religion

Okay! I've made a decision (YAY me!).

I'm converting to dark chocolate.

I know. I know. Remain calm.

But here's the thing: I've made a serious goal. I want to be physically fit. I don't need to be skinny, but I want to be stronger and have more stamina. Therefore, I'll admit here (but only because I'm pretty sure my high school crushes don't read this blog), I want to be 100 pounds lighter by this time next year.

Standards (rumors?) say it is safe to lose 2% of your body weight per week. So, based on that, I think this is a reasonable goal.

I started last Monday by adding water aerobics to my schedule. I went three times. I didn't stress myself out about changing my eating habits, yet. But, I made healthier choices at each opportunity. For example, I chose a Thai Salad at a restaurant one day instead of the deep fried finger steaks and french fries I love.

And, I still ate my chocolate, but I think I heard somewhere (another rumor??) that dark chocolate is better for you than milk chocolate. Therefore, I asked myself, if the choices were NO chocolate or DARK chocolate, which would I choose? Dark, duh.

So, I'm converting to DARK CHOCOLATE. Wish me luck.

And, by the way, I dropped five pounds this last week, just by adding three classes of water aerobics and healthier food choices.

This week? Four water aerobic classes. That's all I can promise.

What are your healthy eating tips? And, do you prefer DARK or MILK chocolate? Could you convert?
