Embracing the moment
Though life continues to deliver the curves and shake me with little questioning thoughts and ideas, I am doing SO WELL with the food and exercise. I mean I do not know for sure as there is no scale and I love this, I feel good. NO EE!!! I am being reasonable and loving this kind of freedom. I still keep portions in mind and when I have a little bit more then my portion I just make up for it in other ways. For instance, this weekend I had pizza for lunch and then had a lighter supper.
I did well with the exercise the last 10 days and recorded in the forum. Did not do as much strength training as I would have liked, but I will keep up with the activity because it is more then just fitness, it is a means of releasing all that can become pent up. It has been too cold here lately and we have been stuck inside. Fixed up the spare room so I now have a computer monitor attached to a DVD player so I can exercise in there and I have found some new hobbies to keep me busy. I am gathering up recipes (from friends and magazines) and putting them in a binder and then recycling the old magazines. Found some new workout DVDs to keep me motivated. I am reading A New Earth and as many know this is Oprah’s book pic and there is a worldwide class starting in March on this book. Kinda neat! 
So…. take a real class, get a new job??? Oh where will I be going? Well, I am here now and we shall see!
I guess I am taking things a little easy these days and trying not to put too much pressure on myself to find all the answers. I do not want to miss what I am suppose to learn in the moment. I can do that… look too far ahead and then not see the NOW, get too overwhelmed… then I end up missing what I need to see. Things do keep coming at you in a variety of forms for you to see if you keep missing them… so true. Oprah is so wise! :) Love her!
Keep up the great commitments you have been making for yourselves and never be afraid to make adjustments as time changes. This is what I have learned anyways. Little by little…..Feeling things out and going with that flow…. life.
Have a great week Everyone. Hugs and tea cheers to you!
Lovely attitude Jennifer. Yup, live for the moment, thats been the hardest thing for me also. I’m always looking ahead and fearing the worst. Love Oprah, I’m jealous!! LOL!! I want that book too. I also want the Secret!! We should get our income tax refund by Thursday of this week, so I told my husband I had 3 books on my fun list to purchase. The New Earth, The Secret, and South Beach Diet.
Sounds like you’ve got your eating portions in control and you sound really happy about it, I’m glad for that. And hey 10 days of exercise???? YOU ARE THE WOMAN!!!
One more thing….if you take each day at a time, you never know whats around the corner. God has such an awesome plan for us all. For myself, I’m going to be happy where I’m at, because I know there are fantastic things coming in my future!!!
Have a great day my dear friend Jennifer…Love ya!!
I love absolutely every single word of this blog. You are SOOOOO right on with it Jennifer, and I can’t begin to tell you how much I needed to read it this morning. I’m really down today after receiving some bad news over the weekend. My uncle… my fav uncle… my crazy uncle who makes me laugh to no end… my uncle who is ALWAYS there for me… has been diagnosed with cancer, and I’m having a hard time swallowing this news with any kind of grace and faith. But your blog is putting my head on the right track. Thank you my friend.
It IS truly embracing the now… all of it… good and bad…. life!
Hugggggggggggggggs,
Shan
Love it! You sound like you are in such a good place!! Keep it up, girl!
