Well, here I am, still standing after my first week of perfection. My body certainly is not used to so much activity and so many early mornings on such a consistent basis, but other than some [really] sore muscles and some sleepiness in the afternoon, I find that my body is adapting amazingly well. I feel myself getting stronger and leaner and more powerful, and it is a wonderful feeling. I have no limits other than my own beliefs! As I have been clearing these limiting beliefs, primarily through prayer, meditation, and energy clearing techniques, I find that old recurring injuries have begun to fade away and my body wants to show me just exactly what it is capable of--and I know it is capable of really extraordinary things! I am loving the anticipation of seeing just where we will go together!
At the same time that it is showing me how amazing it is, of course, my body also really wants me to listen to what it has to say, so I have been tuning in and taking notes. This week it has been telling me that it wants me to stay strong in my faith through constant and consistent spiritual nourishment, that it wants me to have a cheerful heart always full of hope for the wonderful things I am creating in every moment of my life, and that if I can express love without judgment, like my Lord Jesus Christ taught me to do, that I can do ANYTHING!!! I can feel this in my whole body when I am living in harmony or out of harmony with these principles, and believe me, it feels much better to be in harmony with them (not to mention every day goes more smoothly and is chalk full of miracles when I am in harmony with this faith, hope, and charity).
One other thing my body wants me to hear--I need a rest!!! So today I am taking it easy, even while completing the required workouts for the day. Rest is good, when I have been working so hard. (o:
I am loving how great I feel! I'll check back in soon to update my progress!

One month of perfection?
Today has been a perfect day so far. I woke up at 4:30am with my alarm, did my tai chi exercise (chi gathering) for 5 minutes, suited up and got outside for a 20-minute bike ride, and then came home and did an hour of yoga followed by another 10 minutes of strength training. I was showered and breakfasted and logged into my computer for work by 8am, and things have continued very well since then. And, to top it all off, I remembered this morning that today is a half-day at work thanks to Good Friday! Good Friday indeed, in more ways than one. What a wonderful day! In a few minutes I am going to do my breakthrough dancing (essentially moving my body in whatever way feels good to me as I send lots of love to myself and my body--so wonderful you need to try it--check out bodyimagebreakthroughcenter.com). For lunch, I get to go over to my twin sister and fellow fitness enthusiast's house for some barefoot running outside.
Seriously, could I ask for a more perfect day? I think not! So here's the million-dollar (or should I say, hundred-dollar--keep reading) question: Can I keep this up every day for the next 30 days? I have a triathlon--my first in over 3 years--coming up one month from now (May 21st, to be exact) and I actually sat down with my sister/training partner last night and wrote out on a blank calendar what I am going to do each day for the next 4 weeks to train for this triathlon. Up until this point my training has been spotty and inconsistent, so I decided it was time to get serious. I committed to this workout plan as a contract, signature and all. After I have successfully completed these 30 days of workouts, I get to treat myself to a $100 shopping trip with my amazingly awesome twin sister. So one month of perfection is before me, and I know I can do it! I am releasing all limiting beliefs and believing in the champion within me! I know she is there, and she is ready to be seen! I love this! I love finding out what is inside of me, what I am capable of! It's time to break out of these bonds that have held me back for my entire life! I am starting this new phase in my life with this month of perfection. I'll let you know how it goes. (o:
