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

dinner out with the family last night
a coffee date with my friend
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.

October 1 2022, New Month

Time: 7:20AM Weather: 4C Sunrise @ 7:36AM Sunset @ 7:12PM Today is not only the start of a new 5% Challenge, it is the start of a new month. I love the feel of a new start. It's like we are given a whole new clean sheet of paper to fill with anything. What was written or drawn on the last paper doesn't matter. Of course when I return to real life I know that yes some things that I did in the past do matter and do affect me today. But today is another chance to change things. Last night while watching the Oilers/Flames pre-season game I was starting to think about my goals for this month. I have gotten very good at tracking things this last month, not so much at blogging/journaling. Why I stop journaling I don't really know. It helps me so much and I do so much better working on my goals when I journal. I have decided to give myself a 30 day challenge. here are the things I am challenging myself to do this month. Step Goal for the month - 279,000 steps
