Oh Susan, I am so sorry for your loss! And I apologize that I was out of pocket and am just now reading this. I can't imagine what it is like to lose a friend like this. And I see that since social work is your work, that you felt you should have...

I've just joined today. I'm from Vancouver and my goal is to lose 40 lbs. The sun is shining through some heavy cloud cover and I'm off for my daily walk. Anyone out there in my little corner of the world?

Surgery In The Morning

Tonight I am cooking some soup and a rice dish. I am doing this so I don't have to eat the food my Sweetheart will cook. Self preservation I guess. Tomorrow I am having carpal tunnel surgery and I know I won't want to cook so I will have food readily available to me that I know is not Fried. (That is how my sweetheart cooks, bless his heart)

I am changing a lot of things in this house! Cancer runs deep in both his family and my family and I am going to do my best to keep from getting that ugly… Continue

Throwing out the books

For the last time, I am taking a leap of faith (in myself) and throwing out the WW books for good. And then I am making a Chicken and vegetable fried rice! (That sounds like a good breakfast)

I was doing some soul searching the other day and I came to the conclusion that it isn't really the food I have been eating that has made me gain so much weight over the last 5 years. It is the lifestyle change I made back then. The inactivity that came with the new job. So for the last 5 years I jumped on… Continue

Reflection

I have found myself in a reflective spirit.....................
this tends to bring about questions I have not been willing to meditate on. Do I, don't I? Will it matter? Will it stay true to who I am? Reflection.................a very significant part of this journey I am on. Will finding this energy bring me closer to who I am or send me off into parellels i know nothing about. Outside the box or stay in the comfort of the box? So many questions................I am thankful for the choices. To… Continue

Don't you just love..

Don't you just love having an opinion, and the only response to it is, "you're bitchy, self-righteous, and pathetic."
Dear god..

This is Normal?

I've discovered that for me, the lulls in my moving happen after an illness where I've had to drag myself to work and haven't had the energy to workout when I get home. (My job is insane. I teach mentally ill and behaviorally challenged children.) Since this current lull came into play, I promised myself that I wouldn't get all emotional and upset with my appathy and just observe. And since I'm stronger in general, on every level, since the last time this happened, I was able to clearly see what… Continue

"Consult your Doctor....." It could save your life???

This warning has become a common staple on 90% of everything we buy today. But I recently saw this warning and it took me COMPLETELY by surprise. I was sitting down to a cup of hot green tea. I was looking at the box and noticed that on the side was a suggested relaxation technique:

Sit in a chair with your feet on the floor and your back against the chair.
Close your eyes.
Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth 26 times.
*Consult your physician before....*

So, I feel that it… Continue

Yoga Reflection...

I've been so concerned about my lack of a regular yoga routine that I didn't slow down enough to realize that no matter what I'm doing, I am always doing yoga. The way I breathe, the way I carry myself, where I allow my mind to go during the day are all basics of the yoga I've been doing for years. It's interesting to finally see that they have become who I am as well as the core muscle strength I've recently developed.

It's like a friend of mine told me once when I asked him if he'd been doing… Continue

Savor.....

A simple reading reminded me to savor
Yesterday I sent an appreciative email to a loved one just because
Today I joyfully played puzzles in the floor with my daughter at 6:30 a.m.
I lovingly soaked myself in a warm bath
and consciously made roasted potatoes for lunch
I savored my daughter's response to something other than
the fastfood guy french fries
and fondly etched her response on my mind
"Delicious"...and..."More please"....
Savor the good stuff.....
Remember, remind, redo.....
The End.
No… Continue

Fear Can Be Our Own Worse Enemy...

Found this in my email today and felt I should share it:

I just want to thank all of you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel or have them put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.

I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult m… Continue
