There is little that can withstand a man who can conquer himself. - Louis XIV

 This is so true.  If I could learn to conquer my own fears and thoughts I could do anything.  My brain tells me all the time that I can't do something or that I will never be able to get it.  All this negative self-talk is so bad.  I have been working on talking better to myself.  Until the last little while I didn't even realize how often I am a downer on myself instead of a cheerleader.  I have discovered that i need to start treating myself like I treat my kids and friends.  I must learn to be kind to myself.

This morning I am thankful for

  1. dinner out with the family last night
  2. a coffee date with my friend
  3. that the bills are all paid for the month

Question of the day

When am I the happiest version of me?  I think that I am the happiest version of me when I am surrounded by my family and we are having fun.

Yesterday was a good day.  I didn't do any extra snacking at all.  I only slightly ate past full when we were out to dinner.  I think that I starting to understand some of my hunger cues, which I have ignored for decades.  I am pretty well ready for our trip to Mexico in 7 days.

 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
