It\u2019s something that requires tweaking from time to time but I believe it can be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago I was teetering between balance and obsession in my day to day workout.  I believed I could just keep on going and I did to the point I was working out 2 hours a day, 5 days a week.<\/p>\n<p>I continued up until last week when I had the lofty idea that I was going to push it up to 3 hours a day 5 days a week.  What was I thinking?  It was then that I stopped to edit my goals.  The goal is to find something that\u2019s reasonable and stick with it.<\/p>\n<p>I may end up shaving the cardio back to 30 min and 30 min of weights 5 days a week, who knows? All I know is that a week from today I start weights with LeeAnn and she\u2019s going to set me up on a weight lifting program.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m finding a routine where I can begin to feel the rhythm and focus on the things I want to achieve.  It\u2019s a great feeling knowing my husband is taken care of, I\u2019m finding my way back to healthy living and exercise has made its way back into my life.<\/p>\n<p>I thank hubby often for taking the best care of me, for providing encouragement each day and loving me no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>There is beauty in balance.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll leave you with these pretty flowers as I walked to the gym this morning<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wreJZIBhI\/AAAAAAAAEnY\/tVX-FBqBQ3M\/s1600-h\/DSC07976.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 294px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wreJZIBhI\/AAAAAAAAEnY\/tVX-FBqBQ3M\/s400\/DSC07976.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443773846501459474\" \/><\/a><br \/>Looking up into that abundant blue sky<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wrVw4mvqI\/AAAAAAAAEnQ\/7Xe9VFcC86k\/s1600-h\/DSC07980.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wrVw4mvqI\/AAAAAAAAEnQ\/7Xe9VFcC86k\/s400\/DSC07980.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443773702483656354\" \/><\/a><br \/>What a cheerful duet<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wrN7_qOVI\/AAAAAAAAEnI\/l7etnSusc1M\/s1600-h\/DSC07974.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 292px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wrN7_qOVI\/AAAAAAAAEnI\/l7etnSusc1M\/s400\/DSC07974.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443773568027081042\" \/><\/a><br \/>Happy little bumble bee<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wrGzhRK3I\/AAAAAAAAEnA\/VmRM3XIcgY8\/s1600-h\/DSC07994.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wrGzhRK3I\/AAAAAAAAEnA\/VmRM3XIcgY8\/s400\/DSC07994.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443773445493042034\" \/><\/a><br \/>What beautiful little blessings along the way<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wqv7LPp0I\/AAAAAAAAEm4\/IPQsapxRypk\/s1600-h\/DSC07975.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 400px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wqv7LPp0I\/AAAAAAAAEm4\/IPQsapxRypk\/s400\/DSC07975.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443773052411160386\" \/><\/a><br \/>May your day be as cheerful as these flowers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wqYI40OCI\/AAAAAAAAEmw\/Slo5r_eJEE0\/s1600-h\/SpringBlessingsDebbie.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 196px; height: 99px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/S4wqYI40OCI\/AAAAAAAAEmw\/Slo5r_eJEE0\/s400\/SpringBlessingsDebbie.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443772643775100962\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes finding balance can be a bit tricky.
