It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. - Confucius

I used to get so upset with myself when I didn't lose weight quickly, or didn't chance my habits quickly.  I would have these weeks of doing things great then of course things would go to crap and I would backslide (I hate that word) and get mad at myself and give up.  This was and has been the roller coaster of my life for years.  Slowly over the last while I am realizing that this has to change.  I need to make permanent changes.  I am giving up on the all or nothing attitude that I have lived with for decades.  I am now working on small changes.

This morning I am thankful for

  1. my hubby, who is my best friend
  2. my office being upstairs
  3. time

Question of the day

Who are the people in my life that make me the happiest?  Wow this one is easy.  My kids make me happy. My son and his dry humour, quick smile and willingness to help.  My oldest daughter and her love for life and concern for those around her.  My youngest and her special take on life, I am learning to see the world through her eyes and it is amazing.  My hubby make me happy, after 28 years together I can still say that he is not only my best friend, my heart still skips a beat when he reaches for my hand.

Yesterday was the last relaxing day until I go on vacation.  I did very little and I am okay with that.  Today is the start of full steam ahead.  I did manage to not eat in the evening, pat on the back for me.

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
