Motivation and Determination

So, I'm three quarters of the way through this semester and things going great. I've never had a semester that was this laid back. I'm right on schedule with my work and I've had time to relax as well. I just have to say, I'm very stoked!

On a different note, I've started a competition to get in shape with my friend. She is going DOWN! Granted, I haven't worked out in like 6 months and even then, I wasn't doing anything hard core, but my determination and my ego are not forces to be taken lightly! I may go down, but I'll go fighting, and fighting HARD.

An awesome thing happened though, at church I normally don't work with the babies, but on Wednesday (the day we started this challenge) I was asked to help in a class that had a little boy in it who was freaking out. When I got in there he was fine, but the other lady who was helping I knew was a PE teacher! So she gave me a bunch of advice on working out and then I got to just take off. I think it was totally a God thing. Hahaha! Sorry, friend.... God wants me to win. Oh yeah!

She told me to jog for 45 - 60 minutes, and I was amazed because I was actually able to do it! Today I jogged 40 minutes and yesterday 45. It's really amazing what you can accomplish through sheer determination. I've never been able to run more than 15-20 minutes at a time. On top of that, I'm doing all of the core, muscle building exercises as well, so I'm sore... very sore. But I've got the resolve to work through it this time. Win or lose, I feel great and the results are going to be great. So, wish me luck!

On an artistic note, I've finished two of the ten posters for my body of work. I'll edit and re-post this with pictures if I am able to take some tonight. I will work on a third poster after I post this, hoping that I'll get it done to photograph as well, but I wanted to be sure I posted something before I worked on it. I felt bad that I didn't post anything last Saturday. Big slacker!

I am also working on a top secret project that I can't give details for but just want to talk about! The goal is to have all the art finished by June. I'm only working on it Sundays, but hopefully it will be enough time.
