WOW!!!

I am so pumped. I feel like I did at about week 5 of RTP.
I am not sure exactly what is causing this but there are 3 or 4 possibilities.
Its only day 2 but using the SAD lamp may just lift me that much.  My depression is always a problem because I often do not see it lingering there. The other thing may be the insanity workouts. I start out thinking OMG I really do not want to this and when I am done I feel, see you can do that! I will get to the other possible reasons in minute.
Today was a crazy day. Client flying in that needs a house this week, not so simple in this market. Client called late last night, Mother in law saw a house and we needed to be there this morning, early.
 And I had 2 workouts scheduled, Insanity and muscle.
I got up an hour and a half early and worked the day as planned. Picture,weight,SAD, 1 Chapter of TSP and Insanity. When I returned from showing the house and writing an offer I had a quick lunch and off to the Gym to do Muscle.
I had 2 hours and managed to use every minute of them wisely. I did not blog or respond to any email that were not urgent business. Hmmm, time management, imagine that?
It feels so great to no longer be skating. For too long I feel I have let the "rules" slide a bit too much.
We said compliance on our own terms but I suspect for many of us that is too loose. There is a reason we did well on RTP and we will do well to remember that.
I chose to not make excuses today. It felt just like 100% used to and I must say I missed that.
There is something to be said to pushing your limits just because you can.
This mornings chapter of TSP was about being clear about why you are here.
Your life purpose and pursuing it with passion and enthusiasm.
Sounds nice doesn't it?
What I love most about this chapter is that the answer to the question about working at something you love.  I do that. I love my job and would not trade it for anything (well tons of money but).
It is so great for me to look at my life and consider what I love.
I lived in that dark place for a very long time and all the good in your life gets fogotten there.
Consider this about your life purpose

Everything you do should be an expression of your purpose. If an activity that does not fit that formula do not work it. Period

Consider that, if its not on plan just do not do it. Period. Wow, think how much emotional energy one would save by adopting that principle.
Stop settling for less than you want.

Not being clear about what you want and making other peoples needs and desires more important than your own is simply a habit.

This zing I feel carries into everything I do. I am happy and enthusiastic with client. And silly fear can find no room to roost.
As to the other possible reasons well  I started RTP at the end of March. I dropped the largest amount of weight in the first 3.5 months. In the last 2 the scale has not moved of any measureable amount and neither have the inches. At no time in these last 5 months has any one commented.
In the last week everywhere I go people that know me stop and comment. Some are not sure what it is they see. Tonight a neighbor commented as I got off the elevator. She was a bit tongue tied. Wow she said you look great, Oh dressed for work I said. No she says well it must be your hair its incredible. Haaa I have not changed my hair is 5 months.
The fact is its many things but mostly I feel incredible. Yes I still have work to do but that is some work and I no longer feel like the blob from hell and die of embarrassment whenever I meet people.
That is worth getting up an hour early for. Well actually , I am worth getting up an hour early for.
