Making it Exciting
Happy Monday, Cute and Perky readers!!!
Did you have a good weekend? I did!!! I went to a Halloween party at the lake!
I didn’t wear a costume, because the party was hosted by my two gay best friends. And trust me, there was NO way I could out-do their costumes!!! Not a chance!!
But I was talking to my buddy Ron Harris over the weekend. If you’re an MD reader, Ron wrote the article in this month’s issue about Victor Martinez. Y’all know by now that he’s my favorite bodybuilder! So, we’ll let Ron be my favorite writer!
Ron has a new book out about bodybuilding and I was telling him how excited and anxious I am for my two sons to read it. Here’s the link to it: www.ronharrismuscle.com/book/.
I would love for you to check in out!
But did you catch what I said?
I’m excited.
And I know y’all are used to me being excited…and perky and all. But it goes deeper then that.
I am truly excited to get that book for my boys, because living a healthy lifestyle and being a good example to my sons excites me.
How many people do you know who dread going to the gym or would rather peel their fingernails off one by one than eat healthy?
And how many times is it because we have made the healthy lifestyle look anything less than desirable?
I can tell people how much better being this size is, but it means nothing if I gripe and complain about every workout or every meal.
If I want people to join me in this way of life, I have to make it look like a way of life worth living.
My oldest son told me the other day, “Mom, other people don’t look at going to the gym the same way you do.”
And he’s right.
I get excited about it.
Because every time I set foot in that gym and that metal touches my hand or I eat my next healthy meal, I am creating a better me.
And that is something to get excited about!

I have that feeling today. It is my day off and in total control of the day; gym, eat correctly, honey-do list, NAP, and some reading. Have a great perky Monday!

I think I have lost the excitment with all that is going on with me right now. I have been able to keep my weight and bodyfat down but my workouts have been practically non-existant! See, whinning and excuses! I am going to blog about my lack of excitment soon, stay tuned!

That is awesome how you’ve thought of your two sons in your experience. I’m glad that my parents set me on the right path eating right and staying active. You are setting the right example for your boys and that is AWESOME!!
I get exciting going to the gym too. Never a dull moment when you’re pushing yourself to get better each day. You ROCK!
