Feeling lighter

I am feeling much lighter today. The auditors are gone, we did great. It was actually very fun. It got me to thinking, (I know, I smell smoke too) Mizfit left me a comment about her victory this week. She did something that she was worried about, but it was NOT as bad as she thought. I could so relate to that! IT NEVER IS. But do you think that I can or want to remember that when I am in the middle of freak out. I worried for weeks about this this past week. What a friggin waste of time. I had a great time having them here. I laughed alot, and I realized how much I miss having someone here with me in the office.

I have been tracking very well. Drinking lots of water and I walked 3 miles this morning before I left for work. I have a buddy that I walk with in the mornings. I got up and did an extra mile before I met up with her. I felt lighter!

NSV's......well yesterday I was just sitting there minding my own business and I casually crossed my legs....and I COULD!!! I was able to cross my legs, almost comfortable, i.e. they didn't slide off 2 seconds after I put them there. I was stunned! I went to a differant chair. Sometimes it's easier in some chairs. Same thing. I was happy. I felt lighter!

Have a LIGHTER day!

    Oh, how much time I spend "awfulizing" things that cause me fear. I'm working on dropping that non-productive habit. I don't have to run for cover anymore. I CAN handle whatever comes my way. I can cope. I am able. And you are too!

    You are doing great!

    Woot woot on the NSV! And, I wish there was a way for all of us to remind ourselves that things do tend to turn out less badly that we worry they will. Good reminder of that one! I like Roxie's word, "awfulizing."

    Congrats on being able to cross your legs!
    I see people in class crossing their legs all the time and my legs either start to hurt or they just slide off after about five minutes.
    I can't wait to be able to keep them on there.

    Great job getting a workout in before going to work. Water is huge, half your body weight in oz's is ideal. Keep up the good work.

    I'm such a chronic worrier - can't seem to help myself...but I'm working on it.

    Love that you can cross you legs now. What a sweet victory (no sugar added!) Keep up the good work!

    Big SMILE!! Crossing my legs without them falling off was one of my bestest NSV's. It still amazes me that I can do it and now the one on top even dangles down the way it should, or almost anyway.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
