As I surfed the net for a quote for today's blog I found this one and then smiled, it was written by me. Kind of funny, at least to me. I wasn't going to share it but decided it delivers the message I was looking for.

What are some of your favorite things to do? What do you need to do them? Is it something you do independently or are there others with you? When you are in a lull of life, what motivates and inspires you to keep moving forward and enjoying the little things in life?

A few thoughts to ponder today...although the deck is under a few feet of snow and there isn't any signs of spring in the near future, I am encouraged when I reread the above statement because warmer, sunnier, and brighter days are yet to come. Are you ready?

I started to "plank" this past week when I don't make it to the gym. OUCH! I'm thankful my daughter encouraged me to do these because they are such a fabulous core work out BUT gosh they are hard. Are you on Pinterest? I am and I did a check for beginner plank challenges. I guess I should just go at my own pace because the "easiest" challenge I could find started at sets of 30 second planks. Yikes! I'm up to three sets at 20 seconds and the last set I'm ready to fall after 10 seconds but I'm making it now. 

I'd share a pic but there is no way I can plank and take a pic for proof. And I'm sure neither you or I want it displayed on the blog. Long story short, my fitness success this week is I've added planking and doing some core work at home when I don't go to the gym.
