Now

On my commute into work (on the bus) I sat listening to my Ipod jammed up against lots of other commuters - it was cold today so the bus was full. I had recently downloaded Dave Carroll's solo CD was struck again by the beauty and truth in his song Now.

It got me thinking about about all the ladies I know who are currently struggling and working hard to improve themselves (inside & out). We all have blocks when it come to eating healthy and making outselves exercise, the problem is trying to overcome these blocks - we all fight them everyday. The more I listened to the song, the more inspirational I felt it was:

Cause now's all there is,

So peacefull and still,

and now we don't worry about
what's happened or what will.

Casuse now never ends,

and now's never been,

and all of your answers,

are waiting for you here - now.

So, don't worry about the past, your sucesses or your losses - it right here, right now so go and take it! "When there's no way out, there's still a way through"

PS We had a great noon hour workout, we took a newbie (Jennifer) who did great for the first time out since having a baby.  I also had a good 25 min walk with the pooches tonight tonight - it was cold so we were walking fast! My eating habits were much better today thanks in part to the  My Plate program - I might grow to hate it as I am now accountable for everything I pop in my mouth. I really makes you think twice before grabbing a sugary snack!
