I'm back....again

It's been a long time since I logged in, and yet, I have continued to make progress. I am so much better off than I was when I started this program. I am exercising a lot--over 4000 minutes since the beginning of February. I have learned to be nicer to myself, although that is c»

Resistance

I have been really struggling with myself. It's in the feeling sorry for myself sort of vein. Why do I have to take care of this body--I never used to (which is actually why I have to do this now!). I have fibromyalgia and it can be really painful. One thing th»

my tape

Well, it's an mp3. But I enjoyed making it. When I made my recording, it was a little over 11 minutes. I had the idea that I wanted to overlay some music (no words) that was important to me but was 10 minutes and 14 seconds long. The neat thing in Audacity is that I could»

Another step in the journey of life

Well, here I am again. I allowed myself to be distracted--I joined sparkpeople.com and I am actually finding it to be a positive step to confess what I am putting in my mouth and also to keep track of my exercise. But it took me some time to learn how to manage that and this. »

Bad attitude

I caught myself in a bad attitude last night, following a day of bad attitudes. In the middle of my bad attitude, I told myself that my attitude was my decision and I am choosing to have a good attitude. Interestingly enough, I then discovered one reason for the bad attitude: »

Coping with an inner brat

Somewhere along the way, I picked up this enormous sense of entitlement. Somehow I learned to think that I only have to do things when I FEEL LIKE doing them. I learned to think that if I don't FEEL like doing something, whether that feeling is mental or physical, then I don't ha»

Rebellion

Every now and then I go into rebellion mode and it is really hard to get myself to do the things I should do. Rebellion mode means I want to eat things I'm not supposed to or that I want to not exercise or that I don't want to do things that I'm supposed to do (like clean the house»

The Checklist

What is really interesting about starting over is that in the sixth week, I was feeling like I wasn't doing enough on the checklist and feeling like I wasn't doing enough to get the good out of tools. Now, though, nearing the end of my repeat of the first week, I realize that I have in»

Starting over

Thanks to a friend of mine, I have had to get honest with myself about the need to really be DOING Tools, not just reading it faithfully every morning. I am a knowledge sponge--I can soak it up. I know a lot about diets, motivation, success, strategies, time management, organization, etc»

Gotta take care of myself

Yesterday (and the results today) is a reminder that I cannot continue my old habits. For the first five weeks of the semester I teach a class from 11-12:30 MWF and then a class 1-3 MWF, so there's 30 minutes between classes. Usually there's time for me to eat something, but yeste»
