This post is not an update on Gedese, my family or anything of real depth. It is simply me sharing something I've implemented in my life the last two weeks. I call it, "Drop and give me 20!" Whenever negativity pops in my mind -which seems to be quite often lately or I have three minutes of non chaos, I make myself do 20 push ups. I know it sounds weird, but hey I am weird:) At first I was only doing push ups, now I'll do 20 crunches, 20 lunges, 20 jumping jacks or whatever else I can think of. Some days I do this 4-5 times a day and some days only once.
And you know what?
I feel amazing. I feel better than I have in a year. It is so easy and doesn't take a lot of time.
So next time you're feeling blue, frustrated, hungry, bored, tired, or cranky, just tell yourself
Drop and give me 20.

I'll try doing this b/c I really really need to but I'm a little worried that me trying to do 20 push-ups might be a little bit of a downer in itself! Maybe I'll work up to that :)

What a great idea... I tried it and all four of my children thought that I was playing with them and jumped on me.well it did help my thinking. and they thought it was fun. How are you doing? Love ya, jenny
I think this is an awesome idea. I started running and it is HARD but I feel really good about my accomplishments and just in general. Some of what you mentioned are what I should be doing as training and if I can use it to get rid of negative thoughts, more the better! Thanks for sharing :)
whatever. i'm with leah.
hehehe...that is so cute...& a great idea ;)

So I'm going to try the sit ups and push ups. :)
