Gratitudes: Having my voice back. It sure is nice to be able to talk and sing again. Ability to walk. A warm bed and a husband who will talk to me in the middle of the night, even if he is tired.
Intentions for the day: Kitchen Clean up. more laundry, Exercise
I
am 34 inches thinner from my bust/waist and hips and a size 8's
measurements of 36/28/38 on October 7, 2015. I am following the
trainers workout and food plans drink 64 oz of
water a day and getting 8 hours of sleep every night.
I track this
by completing my measurements every 4 weeks and weighing in weekly. My
expectation is to see a decrease of approximately 5 inches per month.
It's Been a long journey to get to where I am. Sometimes it feels like I start and stop and start again. Revisiting things I have done, said I would do, know and haven't done. So to get out of this rut of starting and stopping again, I am revitalizing this blog and creating a Knowledgebase. A place to learn from my life experiments and remember what I set out to do. Building upon the knowledge I had before. Always learning and always improving

Day 89 of 100---cycles of brilliance
For only 100 days, I sure have not been consistent. I apologize for the lapses.
I have come to realize I have cycles of brilliance. Moments where I feel everything is going well and I am on task. Where everything is going my way. Then I have the 180 degree different moment where I feel at the bottom of life, nothing is working right and I just can't get it all figured out.

Healthy Journey Day 122
You probably have noticed I've changed up my template again. It is an evolution. :) I decided I needed to add in a gratitude section, as I want to acknowledge my blessings. I do have many!
Gratitudes: Hard work. A husband who trusts me with our money and wants to take very good care of me. (I only hope that I take as good of care of him) Three good kids. A project that I can work on with my husband. We pulled out a fence together. Working hard together is lots of fun!

Day 84 of 100--get up and move
JUST DANCE!
A lot of times when you are just feeling down, or in a rut. It is just time to move. Do something about it. Stop letting your negative voice tear you down. Get up and do something about it. Even just walking in place for 5 minutes can get you out of a slump. Get your heart pumping. Get moving. Put yourself in action mode and see where the momentum gets you! Just move!
(This is definitely a moment where I am talking to myself! Getting up and moving, working in the yard at the new building today was exhausting and yet exhilarating. Something to be said about the benefits of hard work!)

Day 83 of 100
Don't expect a straight line. This journey isn't about getting from point a to point b. It is about living life and handling the ups and the downs. Its about finding joy in the little things. Life is meant to be enjoyed. It is meant to be lived. Getting caught up in trying to make you plan happen, can sometimes become a lesson in futility. The truth is we need to ride the waves, expect them and as the magnificent surfer does turn the waves into something beautiful. Only when we recognize the beauty and joy in life does it become easier and more enjoyable to live.

Day 78 of 100---the blame game.
I have often played the blame game when it comes to food. It is only recently since I started into intuitive eating that I have been able to get out of it. More or less. It is easy to get sucked into, so occasionally I will catch myself. :)
My hubby brings home treats frequently. In the past I would say it was his fault I ate it, because he brought it home. I even used to use the excuse that he wanted the treat so I would by it for him, and eat it myself. I was placing the blame outside of myself even though he didn't force feed me the donuts. Just brought them into my vicinity. Those cookies....those were just on the counter. They didn't ask to be eaten, I wasn't commanded to eat them. I chose to eat them.

Day 77 of 100--Luck!?!
The Darren Daily this morning was about getting lucky. No it's not that kind of luck.
What we sometimes view as luck is actually preparation meeting opportunity. There are times we miss out on opportunities because we are not looking or acknowledging them. What can sometimes feel as though something falls in our lap is because we have been prepared for it, whether we realized it or not.
I am a believer that it isn't plain luck...but blessings from God that we receive. The more we look for those blessings the more we will be prepared and find them.
So what opportunities are you preparing yourself for? Are you looking for them, are you grateful for them?

I have skipped these secondary posts lately because I have had a hard time even coming up with ideas. My brain seems to be focused on healing and frustration over being sick more than anything else. Shortly I will start them up again. Hopefully tomorrow. Only 30 days left. :)

No template again today. I even forgot to check my blood sugar. Just tired of being sick. (Broken record again!) I thought about going to the doctor today but realized no one would be able to hear me on the phone. I have no voice!! My throat feels better but I think I might be getting dehydrated...it's really hard to drink.

Healthy Journey Day 107
Last night was a bad night. My throat was hurting so bad I couldn't lay down. I had to take some tylenol and put a hot compress on it to help it feel better. I slept in the boy's room for a few hours hoping the humidfier would help me not wake up in coughing fits. I feel like I am complaining.
I think I ate too many scratchy foods and it really irritated my throat. So today I was only going to eat soft foods...that lasted until I was starving and ate a few rice krispie treats that were brought to us yesterday. Needless to say that has rather set me back again for the day and now I am attempting to get my throat feeling good again!
Blood sugar this morning: 100 I was very surprised!
Honey and lemon in hot water

11 am, rolls with butter

5 pm hot honey and lemon.
Spoon of honey with a drop of thieves.
Gargle with salt water.
I'm hoping that all of this will get me feeling better. I am so tired of being sick!

Many times we think we can just do it all. Or maybe we think we should be able to do it all. Notice I said should! Guilt meter going off!! A long time ago my Grandma H taught me a lesson. My youngest brother had just been born and I was telling someone that we didn't need meals brought in. She interrupted me and said "let them serve" this is one of those moments that has stuck with me

Day 68 of 100--Say No
In order to take care of ourselves, we need to sometimes say no to outside influences. This can be someone asking us to do something. It can be something that takes away from our real priorities. Whatever it is, we need to take stock of our priorities and do what is best for ourselves, not whatever is asked of us. I have a hard time feeling like I let people down if I don't do what is asked of me. So I have a default of yes all too often. I learned this weekend that sometimes it is better to be upfront in a no, instead of pushing it down the line.
So figure out your priorities. What comes first. For me it is my health and family.
Make a plan to say no. If you need to say let me check my calendar so you have time to think it over.
Be kind. It doesn't have to be mean or abrupt. Thanks for asking, I won't be able to this time. Something of that nature.
You don't need to explain it. If you just don't want to you can just say no. Don't go into detail. People don't always need to know your reasoning. :)
So are you good at saying no? Do these tactics work for you? Are there any that work better?

Healthy Journey Day 104
No template today. I woke up with absolutely no voice, and feeling horrible. I called to get substitutes for primary as well as the organist who wanted me to sub for her. I was certainly glad that I had decided to find substitutes when the chills and aches started about the time we would have been in church. It has been a miserable day. I had wished I had said no last night when I was asked if I would sub for the organist. Instead I had to call back this morning and say I couldn't...well croak it out.
Weigh in 199.6, so not great
Blood Sugar 102
Food intake was anything that would quell the fire in my throat, ice water, ice cream, popcicles. I also had some soup.

No wise words today. I came down with another cold. I am just so frustrated. I have lost my voice, again. Coughing, again. My son looks like he is about to get pink eye. Everything feels like it is working against me. I am just frustrated! I'm off to drink some hot honey and lemon, and go to bed. Hopefully I can get feeling better by morning, and Hopefully I don't lose my voice for 2 weeks again!
I know in order to get out of this mind set I need to be grateful, but I don't want to right now. I am a little bit angry...

Day 63 of 100--Who do I want to be
Chasing success makes success elusive. So instead of chasing a goal, you need to become the person who achieves it. So who is it that you want to be? Who is it that has the type of success that you desire?
Writing a goal in the now helps you to visualize that success. In the movie "the Inner Weigh" it talks about writing your goal starting with "I am so happy and grateful now that..." So writing it out that way would look something like this:
I am so grateful and happy now that I am strong and healthy. I am able to do 10 full push ups easily and effortlessly. My blood sugar is in a normal range, my cholesterol levels are normal. I enjoy fruits and vegetables. I create healthy and yummy meals that my family eats around the table, we enjoy each other's company and the food as well. I feel good in my body. I have energy to chase the kids, clean and keep up around the house. I enjoy keeping my house clean, and creating wonderful food.
That's a beginning, I think I will revise and lengthen...so what would your future look like?

Day 61 of 100--Cut your big goal into small goals
Today I realized after listening to the Darren Daily and the 30 in 15 video that My current why is to show myself that I can do this! I want to finally tell my negative voice that I am in charge and that I don't believe it. I am going to show her up and do what I have decided to do. NO IFs Ands or BUTS! It's time to jump out of all the excuses!!
So in order to get to my goals I am taking a step at a time. Ultimately the goal is to get to a size 8 and drop 30 lbs in 15 weeks. If I only pay attention to the end goal it could get overwhelming and my negative voice would have a heyday! So instead I am dividing it up into weekly and daily goals. This week's goal is to take steps that will help me drop 2 lbs by my weigh in. This includes my daily workouts, Random Acts of Fitness (namely 10000 steps) drinking water, eating more fruits and veggies. Picking from these ideas for the week, I used them for my daily goals. So today my intentions were to get my 10000 steps, drink 64 oz water and eat 5 fruits and veggies. I was successful for day one of the 15 weeks! It feels good to base my success off of the things I have control over. :) I believe that my daily success will ultimately lead me to see weekly success, and even greater success from there. I know I can't help but be successful as I have all the tools at my disposal that I am using. Trainers, motivation, healthy and easy meals. Now I am going to go plan my day for tomorrow. That is another step towards success!!

Day 60 of 100--how do you talk about yourself?
My very smart hubby had the insight the other day that if you talk about yourself in a negative way, you become that. Say you always put yourself down when you talk to others about how you are doing. Soon you start to believe it. Soon you actually are that. Why sell yourself short?? Be your authentic true self no matter who you are talking to. You deserve to be you! Don't talk down about yourself. Be honest, and lift yourself up!
Healthy Journey Day 97
As it is a fast sunday, I am not using my usual template.
Weigh in: 197. Better than last week. Perhaps my new muscle is beginning to burn more calories. ;) Today I have decided that I will focus on 2 lbs a week. I will continue to ask myself, what will help me reach the decreased weight by next week. So it is forefront in my mind? As I write this I wonder if it is going to get me too fixated on weightloss again...
Morning Blood sugar: 106 I ate a bit more than I was hungry for last night.
Eating: Lunch/dinner. On days were we have events ( we invited family over after the meeting we went to) meals seem to be never ending...and of large amounts. We had manti Chicken, salad, potato salad, broccoli and cauliflower, watermelon, chips and dip. Cookies. It was all very tasty! I ate til I was very full and then later had some angel food cake with whipped cream and strawberries.
Also a half a cream cheese danish, it really wasn't worth it, but I still ate more than I liked...
64 oz water.
