If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't CHANGE you

Quote by Fred Devito

I used to hate Facebook.  I would get on there and everything was political or just plain stupid (with a very few exceptions).  About a month ago, I started to follow Tosca Reno and The Clean Diet on Facebook, but I would get irritated because I would have to sift through all of the other junk to get to my favorites.  Finally it dawned on me, why not un-follow all the other people that bug me and only follow those that I really am interested in reading.  Now I follow about 10 people, mostly family and a few friends and clean eating and exercise sites.  I love Facebook now!!!

Where am I going with this?  I actually almost forgot myself (I have been hopping up every 5 minutes to stir the pumpkin seeds I'm roasting).  I have gotten so much inspiration out of the quotes that people put on Facebook.  "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't CHANGE you" is one of them.  I  was so inspired by this quote.  I wrote it on my dry erase board in my weight room this morning.  Every time I wanted to quit and just do the same number of reps as last week (or only half of the military pushups) I reminded myself that my body isn't going to change if I don't challenge it. Then I went for a 3 mile run (I love my 3 mile runs) and did a HIIT, 30 seconds at 85% and 1 minute at 65%, and I had to remind myself that I'm not going see changes in my speed, if I don't challenge myself to run faster.

Who I "like" on Facebook:

Also, I tried whole grain teff this morning and I loved it!  The recipe called for 1/4 cup teff cooked in a cup of water, with 1 cup strawberries (but I used blueberries because I love them), a sliced banana, flaxseed, and cinnamon, with almond milk and 2 TBSP pecans poured over the top.  This made 2 servings.  I am excited to eat the leftovers for breakfast tomorrow (I didn't add the fruit and toppings before I divided the teff for leftovers).
