Smaller than most....

...larger than life

I totally stole that from Down With Detroit (who was referring to Barry Sanders when they posted it on fb, which is why I llluuurrrrvvvved it!) and no, I do not think I am actually larger than life. But what can I say? It spoke to my heart :)

I'm the little one with the yellow wheels, there towards the right. Yeah, next to  the 6'3" girl.

So far 2013 is going great. How are you all doing with your goals and resolutions? I won't be like the rest of the world and complain about the lack of available treadmills at the gym this week. After all, time wasted judging others is time that could be well spent bettering ourselves.

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. ~Ephesians 4:29

I'm feeling like my old self again...the old version of me that worked out regularly, didn't let work bleed into my personal life, and ate right and had energy to face the day. It's been wonderful!

On Thursday night, the hubs had to work a 24 hour shift, so I used the evening to create a surprise for him :) It was nothing major, I just made him the chicken egg rolls he'd been asking me to make for about the past two weeks. Retiring to bed I thought "see? I love doing things for other people when I feel good." Incorrect.

I feel good when I do things for other people. 

Give it a shot. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves or focusing on why we're not happy or "feeling good," shift the focus to others and do something nice for someone else, expecting nothing in return.

  It's refreshing.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone. ~Galatians 6:10

Goals for this week:

Spin class Thurs or Saturday...needing a long cardio sesh
3 days (properly split up this time) of Wendler's 5/3/1 strength program
Encourage the hub's goal of his miles on the bike

What about you? What are you going to do this week to better yourself?
