Watermelon, Almonds and Eggs

I am enjoying my breakfast of watermelon, almonds and eggs. Yes, it sounds very appetizing, but it actually is one of my most satisfying breakfasts. Watermelon is my favorite fruit. If I were stranded on an island, it would be the first food that I'd select. Yummy! I usually have one whole egg and 1 egg white. I count out 12 almonds. I don't even remember if that is the serving. It just sounds correct. Do you know?! LOL

Yesterday was a good eating day. Unfortunately, I didn't get any activity in outside of walking around the office. With all of this heightened awareness around TB, I am really getting my worth in pay. I also had 2 meetings AFTER work so that dug into my normal workout hours.

Today, I have to go to my MK meeting. I haven't been in quite a while. It just wasn't serving me like it used to. Fortunately, two team members will be there and I will be promoting my "Color Insider" certification program. I teach most, if not all, our glamour training/workshops. It is being held on the 23rd of this month. It is a 3-hour hands-on workshop that I am building from scratch. I know that it will be a lot of fun. So, I have 18 days to pull it all together. That should give me enough time to make it a "kick ass" program. If it goes well enough, I will be doing it again.

The exciting news is that we are having a "Model of Beauty" contest. This is so great! We will be choosing 4 women to be featured in the Look. They will also win a trip to New York and a $500 shopping spree. I'd love to go through a makeover experience just to have a totally new look. I usually do that every other year to prevent getting stuck in a certain color scheme or hair style.

As a makeup artist, I love to have other artists do my makeup. Sometimes, it is easy to get stuck in a rut with your colors. I had an awesome experience with an artist from Paula Dorff who gave me such a fun summer look that it opened up a whole new selection of colors that I had never tried. It was so fun. I remember that my friend, Erik, was with me at the time. It was so random that we were even shopping together, let alone having him wait while I got a new look. He was such a great sport. I don't know where he is now. LOL

I love success stories and stories of people who just "get it". I just happened to stumble across a women who is 39 who has an amazing figure. www.bunklers.com She is known as "Chicken Tuna" in a few circles. At first, I thought that it was a derogatory name. Then, I read her bio and how she came to choose that as her screename. I had to laugh at myself. What I enjoy about her is that she does share that it is hard, that she does have to make sacrifices (pizza vs. tuna pack), that there is ALWAYS a choice, even at McD's, she lifts heavy, and that there is a "No Excuse" policy when it comes to workouts. I also had to laugh at her love of workout videos for cardio.

It is very important for me to find people who are living the lifestyle and succeeding. I find that keeping in touch with those who are successful keeps me more focused. As James Ray always says, "Where attention goes, energy flows." It's so true. I know that I need to place more images of health and fitness in my path each day. I have a couple old photos and old video of myself, but it is certainly not enough.

My plan for today: Follow my food plan. Go to my step class and meditate.
