Grateful to be At Goal..Again


I lost 33 pounds in 1970 on the old old old Weight Watchers Plan, arriving at my doctor selected goal of 114 in 5 months. Had a few years at an even lower weight due to illness, then got back up to goal and stayed there until the menopause 6 snuck in from the air. (Never from Cheetos or Reeses!) Got serious, lost the 6, and am keeping it off, and then another 9 pounds.

    Impatience can be attributed to loss of wait!

    I keep walking methodically back and forth. I have to learn to pace myself.

    Weight loss pills stolen this morning; police say suspects are still at large.

    Happy Friday, and have a great weekend!

    It's Wonderful Woman Wednesday, and this quote ties in with the Motivational Monday message . . .

    “Whenever you become anxious or stressed, outer purpose has taken over, and you have lost sight of your inner purpose. You have forgotten that your state of consciousness is primary, all else is secondary.” ~Eckhart Tolle

    I hope you are having a good week!

    Do you sometimes feel that there aren’t enough hours in the day?

    Sometimes you just have to let yourself off the hook.
    Forget everything you didn’t check off your to do list,
    forgive yourself for your mistakes, and stop dwelling on
    everything you thought you could have done better.
    The past is behind you, and it can only control you
    if you let it.
    So let go of what you should have done, and focus on
    doing the best you can going forward today.
    ~ Lori Deschene

    Allow yourself a little breathing room. Sometimes you just can’t “chuck it all” and ignore the clock - say getting out the door on time to arrive at work on time, a doctor’s appointment, that important meeting, or something equally time-sensitive.

    Many times we unconsciously put restrictions on ourselves; but why put extra pressure on yourself with your own self-restrictions? Give yourself permission to take a few precious moments to calm and relax yourself - even if it means just lingering in “that pleasant place” for a little while longer. . .

    Doing this in a conscious and mindful way will actually help you breeze through your day with a smile on your face.
    Give this a try this week - allowing yourself to “flow” through your day
    at a comfortable pace, and allowing yourself to linger in things you find relaxing to you.
