Well, it has been quite a little while and I guess it truly is time.
Good news, a dear friend is back in the city (I think anyway). Wish to welcome her back and have big hugs to her soon. Think we both need the hugs muchly!
After a month of sitting on my ASS doing nothing but wonder why the heck I can't do anything it occured to me. I can't do anything because I think I can't do anything!. Am working on ways to see that I can do something and anything that I can put my mind too. Am starting with little things and working towards other things. Such things as to do lists and achieving those things. Another thing that I am starting to do is writing down one thing every day that was good or great about each day. Have been also taking more pics to try and truly capture it all!!! Pic's not working too well (I no good a pictures), but I trying! lol
Like today. I had a pretty good day. Was out for most of the day. And I was out without my baby for all that I was away. Went to a carreer fair and shopping and cutting my hair. There was one pot hole within the entire day. I also went to see my doctor. It is official, I am at the second highest weight of my life. The only other time was when I was pregnant and that weight doesn't count because there were 2 of us!!!! It not getting me down too badly though. Was a good excuse to let my mother in on some of the things in my head. So, as of Monday her and I are going to be healthier people. We gonna start with this little calorie reduction challenge thing I saw in a paper. It is just a reduce what you eat and add simple exercise into it. It is as simple as 3 flights of stairs within the day. Of course mom doesn't have to add anything cuz she moves alot at work. This could be just the thing I need to jump start it all.
Focus has changed to weight over smoking. Although smoking is not thrown out yet. Am still watching what I am doing and when and am making an effort to keep to half a pack a day. There are more days of under a pack than over a pack.... so not a loss!!!!!
Wow I wrote an all positive statement (I think). yay me! Sure someone will pick something out of it, but that ok too!!!!
I am proud of you for sharing "what's in your head" with your Mom. Very brave of you. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are still working on these problems. A rough start does not mean that it won't happen. Once you get things rolling, I'm sure that it will pick up momentum and you won't be able to stop it until you get to your goal! Walking is a great thing, but more difficult for your area in winter, I know. BUT not impossible.
Yes, I am back a... and staying with friends. RED'S friends ... so, yeah, the humour is flying. :) Still cheering you on. Hope to see you soon.
(I'm behind on my updates too ... will write soon.)
