Team Color and Thoughts

I kept every one's team color and logo off to the side. Let me know if you want to change your color or logo and if you want it to say anything under your name. I hope everyone is motivated to make this blog a good helper and motivational tool for all of us. Whether you have an article to share, an experience you had, or some ideas for improvement; I want you to share them. Please let me know if you haven't been invited to be an author on the blog and I can can include you so you can post when you want to. I hope that this blog will encourage, motivate, and help all of us to live strong in so many different ways. Let's make 2010 a year of change and for living a great life.

Time For A Change

Time for change......for me it's a change in weight, in endurance, in pride, in skill, in attitude. Basically I need an adjustment in priorities. Lately I've been lazy in the way I treat myself and self indulgent in the way I eat. It's time for focus, strength, and perseverance. It's time to start shredding and shedding.....thus, the new name of the blog. What do you need to change or improve? Do you want to shed those few extra pounds or shed the poor self image you have of yourself? Do you want to shred those muscles, shred that lettuce to eat, or even shred those photos you don't like of yourself. Now's the time to start. It's never too late to start and to try to be a better person. It's always time to change and to live strong. What does it mean to live strong? To me it encompasses every aspect of my life. For me to live strong I need to be a better mother, a better wife, a better daughter, a better sibling, a better woman, a better daughter and servant of God, a better friend, a better example, a better writer, a better eater, a better body......a better everything. I always liked the words of Gordon B. Hinkley when he said each day to try a little harder to be a little better. I know he was specifically speaking about spirituality but I don't think that is what he was limiting it to. I'm ready to live stronger and better. It won't happen overnight and I'm sure there will be many stumbling blocks, road blocks, and pot holes but that's what we are all here for; to provide a helping hand for those that need help. That is the whole idea of this blog. This is our support system. We can laugh together, cry together, encourage each other, give advice to each other, and simply just "be" together and all strive to live strong.
