I can't believe I forgot today is the day I share what I've been learning! The day got taken up with lots of juggling to fit everything in and in the background I'm putting my health higher up the priority list - all in all a day of distractions! This week I was given the opportunity to give … [Read more...]
Teamwork
This week I'm learning about teamwork. I've heard the words and thought I was, but maybe I wasn't. My part-time role is showing me what an important part we all play in the machinery that is really the creative playground of someone's crazy dream. Working for someone who so willingly shares his … [Read more...]
A Good Day
Today I've had a good day! There were moments but these passed, sometimes with the ear of a listening friend and words that calmed or guided me, sometimes by doing something for others and sometimes by doing something for me. It's so easy to get caught up on what's wrong, and interestingly I often … [Read more...]
Magic Fairies
Since acknowledging my return to the Weight Watchers way of losing weight I've felt myself lighten up about it all. Once more there is balance as to what I'm doing and why! It's not about the scales at all - yep, I forgot that! It's about life and living what I'd love, and being in the world as … [Read more...]
Returning to the Scales
Today I'm watching myself comparing me to everyone and everything else, especially regarding my weight loss efforts. I've realized that I have to acknowledge where I am and what I need to do, particularly to acknowledge my lifestyle, my age, my circumstances and what I want. I've been disappointed … [Read more...]
The Mandala
Last weekend I got the chance to be involved in creating my own mandala. The reason: a good friend's birthday; the people: a group of friends and the theme: what this year will be about - a mini vision board if you will. What a lovely afternoon we had! Each creation was different, each very special … [Read more...]
The New Routine
Last week I watched my daily routine begin to create itself. I gained an appreciation of excuses I'd heard but never could relate to. And I really got that if I want a new result I have to do whatever it takes to make it happen. Giving myself an extra half hour either end of the day has made a big … [Read more...]
Small Signs of Success
Today I got a compliment and the comment that whatever I'm doing, to keep doing it! As yet I can't see the difference, but I probably have the most critical eye (and inner critical voice, I will add). So just what is that I am doing? I think I need to view it objectively and acknowledge it for … [Read more...]
What a Difference a Day Makes
Monday this week was another start (yes, there is still lots going on in my life) and as I began to learn new things I went into overwhelm. Instantly, or so it seemed, my invisible whip came out and started doing its usual job of whipping me for all that I "should have" known and "should have " … [Read more...]
ChChChChanges
It's Friday and it's been a big couple of days, the new routine is underway and it's trying to sort itself out. The Christmas festivities are over, the excesses are showing and things need to change (again) if I want a different outcome. Life is very different to the time of my last weight loss … [Read more...]
