Another day, a new format…
October 3, 2011- When I started this journey I weighed 244 lbs. I lost 35 lbs. then gained all but 2 back. Then came my annual physical and SURPRISE! I have hypothyroidism. Now I take a tiny little pill every morning and wait one hour before eating breakfast… and am down to 220.2 as of this morning. This makes me smile :0)
I have only .6 lbs till I reach my first 10%. I’m very excited because I now feel like I have control of my eating and not starving myself. I do need to up my exercise but one stop at a time. I am starting Dahn yoga this week as well as getting back to the recreation center for weights and water walking plus some much needed sauna time. Need to re-create myself :0)
So today I’m starting a new writing plan. I was very sporadic with my blogs and felt it wasn’t helpful. I have a habit of reading in the morning and at night before bed, and taking notes of important points; then I would add these noted to a word document journal on my macbook. However, it dawned on me that I should be sharing these points with my readers so today I will start using this blog site as my journal.
It may get personal at times but it will be the truth and that’s what I strive for so please bare with me…
From my morning Bible reading: Chro. 28.20-Be strong and courageous and get to work. Don’t be frightened by the size of the task, for the Lord my God is with you; He will not forsake you.
From Daily OM by Madisyn Taylor: I am a creative being, using my energy to co-create a wonderful world. I know that I create my experience of life from within, and as I do so, I also send forth ripples of energy around me that echo into the world. My positive thoughts gather with the thoughts and prayers of others, and together we create enough positive energy not only to heal our own lives, but also the earth we share. I am grateful for the ability to co-create good in my life and on the planet.
From ‘Goals!’ by Brian Tracy and ‘The Success Principals’ by Jack Canfield: Take responsibility for you life! If you are not happy with any of your current choices, it is up to you to begin taking steps to improve or change them.
