Just finished breakfast ... about 5 hours later than usual!! It was delicious. A two egg omelet filled with turkey bacon, a little feta cheese, a little shredded cheese, onion, tomato, and hot sauce!!!
I've been on the computer this morning ... in between loads of laundry ... a little work, a little conversation with my dear friend chattycathy and have yet to work out. No worries though, we plan on being home today so I'll make time to exercise. I started a blog. Well, I have not blogged anything yet!!! I want to link it to my website for my business and it may be difficult for you to believe but I don't know what to say!!! I also need to write a couple of articles for the
Aim Early Idahonewsletter. Everything really starts to flow together ... developing training outlines, blogging, articles ... all the same subject matter ... just need to get my "thoughts" onto paper and start. I also want to work on setting some goals for myself this weekend in relation to the business. I need to have things written down. It makes a difference to look at something on paper rather than just having random thoughts floating through my brain. Much to do this weekend in that regard.
Hubby is working on his own stuff at the same time. He has taken an interest in penny stocks and has been doing a lot of research about it, practicing with some virtual trading sites, and has his own goals to set for himself.
Cathy's new love recommended a book to her
Maximum Achievementwhich I am thinking about ordering. Anything to get my rear in gear and begin to feel a tad more confident. I've been lacking confidence lately in many areas and really want to change that pattern.
The scale was the same this morning as yesterday. I am forever in a quandary about how often to weigh. I guess it doesn't really matter. The important thing is to simply continue on the journey ... well actually the journey continues on its own. Be mindful of the journey ... the joy is in the journey NOT the destination. Perhaps I need to set some goals for myself in that area too ... maybe.
Yesterday I was "funkier" than today ... and I did fine with calories and exercise yesterday. Someone suggested to me that stress is a problem. I've been under a lot of stress ... pretty much non-stop for about 4 years. Not the healthy sort of stress either. A little stress is good for us ... too much stress is not. But I don't understand how I lost weight before ... and not now. Okay, that was wrong. Just because the scale is not where I would like it to be doesn't not mean I am not losing weight. See how sneaky that negative thinking can be???
This has turned out to be a longer journal entry than I intended. So, I'm going to wrap it up by thinking about what I am grateful for ...
1. My "special" buddies here on fatsecret who have become much, much more than just "fatsecret buddies" ... you know who you are!!!
2. Sleeping in and not waking up to an alarm clock!!! My how lovely that was this morning!!
3. Being aware of how negatively I have been thinking and feeling and at least having the wherewithal to realize I need to work on shifting that negativity.
4. Feeling excited about possibilities ...
5. A weekend of "getting things done", using my brain to be creative, and spending time at home!!!
I
am still working on kindness to myself ... honest
I am!!! I'm not sure how successful I have been at it lately but I am completely aware of how crucial it is ... on so many levels. This funk will pass ... eventually the numbers on the scale will decline ... and at some point ... my wardrobe will expand because I am back in my "zone." In the mean time, in between time, I will continue to work on experiencing the joy in my journey and be less focused on my destination. I hope you all are having a lovely weekend, where ever you may be in your respective journeys. Thank you for taking the time to visit me ... thank you for being here!!!
