Ghoulash in Green
(I gained…. just working out. Butt exercises, elliptical and some wonderful walking and a nice day. It is so warm today…hehe)
Well, life is going well. I have been reasonable and I am progressing. One example. The insurance guy comes by 2 days ago (why do I give him money? May have to assess soon.) and sees the elliptical. He assumed that my boyfriend is the healthy one who uses it. WHAT? This man does not even know that I am the one using it and David uses it about once every 2 months. *Sigh* Must not rely on others to bring me up and at the same time, they must not be allowed to bring me down. I remember this for the coming weeks. Perhaps I will make a T-shirt :
Some words are better left to enter and then exit my head!
Phenomenal woman
beaUtiful !!! (Need to explain why I do the capital “U”. For me, beauty is about more then a pretty face or a stunning dress on a great body. Beauty is about the special and loving self that is inside all of us. When we love and are so kind and are not afraid to let that love show, I say that is true beauty. And so I use beaUtiful to describe that level of beauty that is beyond the superficial and the runway. It is so often as I have seen, every single one of you! That is why we are here. We give and we give and then we receive the words, concern and love of others. This is Buddyslim. And it is beaUtiful too…. of course a loss in pounds, that is beyond even beaUtiful. Tis beaUtiful and healthy.)
I will not forget where I have been and where I am going.
Work in progress, but still pretty damn fine.
This man who I gave money to is nothing compared to the family. I think everything will be great this month, because I am different. I am so thankful for you strong and wonderful ladies who inspire me over and over.
So many of you remind me with your words that it is not about being perfect or having an ideal day. It is about the courage to just believe in me. And keep progressing. There is no one step, two step back that will keep me from moving forward.
So, my client (her daughter really) gave out gifts to the caregivers yesterday. A huge tray of the most beautiful nuts. YUM. Now my first thought is, wow….pounds. Then I see the most beautiful bow. The green that is my favorite and I love it. I know me…I will never let go of this bow. It is so beautiful and simple and me. Green.
I love giving so much. I know I went overboard as I often do, but I just love giving. It seems to be the best thing. I know for myself, it is the secret gifts that make me warm and all child like. I love this time of year. Just in the moment and loving me. Love you all. Wishing you all the best.
Oh yeh… I am taking the nuts to my Mom’s for Christmas for all to enjoy. If there are any leftover I will put those precious fats in the freezer for us to enjoy in portions. Just thinking ahead…hehe
Good for you Jennifer, I might have already jumped into those nuts but you portioned them out and plan on taking them to your mom’s so others may enjoy them too ! As for the non thinking jerk that said that needs to really take a course in etiquette ! Kimmi
It is good to remember where you have been and were you are going. Never forget it! I reminded myself of just that today. I love to give too when I can. It is the best feeling! Have a great day and enjoy your warm weather too!
You have such an awesome view of yourself, keep it up! “progress not perfection” remember? Love ya!
You are beaUtiful! We are works in progress! Just wait til we get finished. We will be unstoppable!
I absolutely LOVED this positive and profound blog Jenn! You said some strong words that really hit home for me today and it is just what I needed to keep things in perspective. So glad I checked in today!
Jennifer, my heart is just all filled with warmth and happiness reading this just now.
You have and are evolving into the Jennifer that you have always been looking for. It’s always been there, but NOW it is starting to shine through for others to see. That is THE best gift you could ever give anyone… the gift of yourself… at your best and happiest.
Love you dearly girlfriend.
