Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. - Dalai Lama

A long time ago someone told me that I needed to learn to make my own happiness.  I wish I could remember who had told me that but I don't.  I remember that at the time I thought they were stupid.  to be happy I needed to be having fun and laughing with friends or family.  Over the years I have learned that I take happiness in many ways that when I was younger I never thought about.  Happiness and contentment are great.  I know longer rely on others for my happiness and find that often being by myself brings me the most.

I woke up yesterday with a headache.  It stuck around almost all day.  I did some yard work and walked to the grocery store for some buns.  So I managed to get my steps in.  I didn't do my workout.  I will this morning after getting my youngest on her bus for school.


Yesterday's Stats


Steps: 12,087
Floors: 4
Zone Minutes: 87


This morning I am thankful for

  1. the warmer temperatures
  2. that I can still learn things about myself
  3. chatting with my adult daughter

5% Challenge Update

Day 2 of week 1 is in the bag.

My Goals Update.

My annual Weight goal is to lose 52 pounds by July 1, 2023. - I was up this morning on the scales.  Not going to freak out.  Have noticed that I go up and down a lot.  Over time I am trending down.

My Fitness goal is to get my step count to 10,000 steps a day by November 1, 2022 - made it way past my goal yesterday.

NO BS - Update

Plan for today has been made.  Assessment for yesterday has been done.  Got my water in.  Had a big revelation about my water yesterday.  I can add flavour to it and it still counts. (sugar free).  Years ago on some diet that I tried someone told me that only plain water counted as actual water for hydrating.  I have know for a long time that this was false but part of brain still held onto this thought.  Yesterday it hot my like a ton of bricks that flavoured sugar free water does in fact count as water.

Welcome to 2023

 Time: 6:58AM Weather: -9C Sunrise @ 8:50AM Sunset @ 4:25PM New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change. -  Sarah Ban Breathnach I love waking up on New Year's day, it is a fresh start.  I am always so full of hope and excitement for the year to come.  This year I have decided that I really need to work on my goals and get them down so that I can work on them.  When I first started working on them I didn't think I would have an actual weight loss goal.  This morning I decide that yes I will have a weight loss goal.   I need to be accountable to myself this year.  My word of the year for 2023 is ACCOUNTABILITY.   I need to be accountable to myself f...

 Time: 5:50Am Temp: -34C Sunrise @ 8:48AM Sunset @ 4:17PM Goals for today  8000 steps 30 zone minutes 81oz of good fluids Why do we always think that every is simple or should be simple.  There are so many things that are simply complicated, confusing and hard.  I mean I often think back to the way I was brought up, so many things that I was taught were wrong I now accept as just part of life.  I find that most of the time I live a grey zone... Yesterday was a cold day.  I spent way too much time behind the wheel driving on ice.  At lest there was no wind to make it really bad.  My new reps are pretty well trained.   Well go back out with them in the new year and touch base. This morning I am thankful for: Christmas music - I love to listen to it all the time Melissa went to school yesterday That my furnace works
