Morning!!
A little breakfast, make lunch, walk the dog and then off to work. One more opportunity to shine!!
Note to self. Do not buy Wonderful Pistachio's. I did well yesterday except for consuming nearly the entire bag of shelled pistachio's. They were tasty ... they were salty ... up fluct this morning, no doubt related to my nut feast last night.
However, I am feeling stronger and more attractive these days then I have in several months. The workouts are paying off. I am more positive. Perhaps the longer days are helping too. It is nice to drive home at least part way in light.
I do have a busy day ahead. Three visits in a row beginning at 10 am ending at 3 pm with a fair amount of driving involved. The day will pass very quickly!! Yesterday only involved one visit but included staff meeting and a ton of office work. It too was a busy day. Friday will be here before I can blink I think!
Grateful ... I was grateful yesterday too just never had time to add it to my journal ...
1. Grateful for feeling my body work as I exercise 2. Grateful for the lengthening days 3. Grateful for the enthusiasm my co-workers expressed about beginning a reflective supervision group 4. Grateful for collaborations between my colleagues 5. Grateful for the joy my special buddy is feeling these days (long deserved and overdue!!!) 6. Grateful for good hair days 7. Grateful for remembering and allowing myself to feel attractive 8. Grateful for the little babies who are growing in our buddies here on fatsecret 9. Grateful for my upcoming vacation 10. Grateful for my life ... challenging as it is at times I have so much to be grateful for!!!
So ... off I must go into the wild blue yonder. Well okay, no blue this morning, how about the wild cloudy yonder? Ever mindful that I must indeed practice kindness towards myself because it does NOT come naturally to me!!! Oh no, self recrimination, criticism, and regret is what comes naturally to me!! Really!! I would NEVER lie to you all!! But with practice comes peace, contentment, patience, and joy that at a younger stage of my life I didn't realize was possible for me. Forgiveness of myself as a fallible creature and realizing that really, this is all "practice" ... there is no test, there really is no such thing as "failure", I am a work in progress, it is a journey, and I ... will never be "done." Pondering those things, soaking it in gives me the ability to breathe. Gives me the space to feel joy, silliness, laughter, and so much more!!
Have a wonderful day full of kindness, mindfulness, patience with yourself and joy. Take care buddies!!

Your sounding pretty good today Moose! And yeah, I always see those Pistacio nuts in the grocery store, and knowing that they are the lowest calorie nut, I always want to get a bag.... But then I say to myself "You know if you get a bag, you will eat and eat and eat till they are all gone!" Sometimes, its better to just not get them at all - at least for me! Have a good one lady!!

What an awesome journal entry. You sure are grateful for a lot and so am I. I think about you everyday and about being kind to ourselves because I don't want any of that self doubt coming out of my doubting mouth. Fake it till you make it right and when I think about your journals I just keep trying to turn all those negative statements into positive ones...definitely not easy.. Thanks for the reminder and have a great day. I am crazy busy today too!

Forgot to tell you..I eat those pistachios every night. I love them and it's so hard to stop when they are already shelled. lol That's why I have to measure them...

Cathy it IS all your fault!!! I knew you bought those pistachios so when I saw them on the shelf at the market I couldn't resist!! Obviously you have much more self discipline than I do. LOL!!! I fear I'll need to leave them on the shelf ... at the market ... far away from my home!!

CArol, I don't buy pistacios anymore...I love them, and when they are anywhere near me, they disappear...it isn't me, honestly, it is my hand and my mouth....they have a mind of thier own when it comes to pistachios. Thanks so much for always reminding me to practice kindness toward myself...it is something that doesn't come naturally to me either, but like you, self doubt, criticism, regret, and blame sure do! I need to relegate them to the round file, and not dig them out again...empty my recycle bin so to speak! Hope that you have an awesome, fantastic day. You are marvelous and beautiful!

I am going to have my ration very soon with ice cream lol

Cathy you have so much self control!!! I'd eat the whole half gallon of ice-cream with the entire package of pistachios on it!! LOL!!!

I only buy them still in the shell. Then you can't eat a handful every time you walk by the kitchen- and there is evidence of how many you already ate. Salted cashews on the other hand- I don't buy those anymore, lol :)

All nuts are dangerous for me!! I need to buy single packets!! LOL!!

How did I miss this entry? Nuts are indeed dangerous lol! But raw almonds are the only item I buy when I stop at a gas station on my weekly road-trips, they have those little packets just perfect for a healthy snack! You sound like yourself today, it is good to read those words. It is too late now to wish you a great day, but I still wish you a good night of sleep and a Happy Friday!!

carol I am so happy you're back and feeling more like your happy wonderful self. Even happier you are feeling attractive in your clothes. That should not be underestimated. When we feel bad about ourselves it comes through everywhere. I hear you on the pistachios....and cashews , almonds, pecans, and peanuts....love them all
