A post after a silence

The clock is ticking down towards the end of the day! I am glad that this day has gone as well as it has. I had a small victory yesterday; I managed to resist temptation twice last night and was pleased with myself for this.

Today I had a salad for lunch, this pleased me also as I am sticking to the guidelines of my habits very closely and I think it is slowly having results. I forgot to take my lunch today so that made it a little harder.

I was a little down at the start of the week about the admonition to be calling and prospecting more, but now the idea has grown on me and I am liking what I have to do to make this happen. Let’s see how this rolls out.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone… its Turkey Weekend here in Canada and I am going to enjoy it. It also happens to be my 19 wedding anniversary on Tuesday as well, not so sure how to work with that one! Will let you know how it all falls out!

Just a ramble to get frustration verbalized!

I know; I know there is nothing gained by not being consistent. I am working on this. I see around me the benefits of consistency all the time and yet I do struggle with it.

Just a short post to state for the record I am working hard at sticking to my guns and resisting the things that tempt me so often when it comes to my eating habits.

I had to ask for my commission checks again this morning and that is always a real downer as I find it nerve wracking and stressful. I am to the point where in order to firm up my daughter’s entry fees in the competition in Tucson I have to get these checks so I can’t just wait anymore. I really hope I don’t have to call again. Shortly I should have the final checks for some more projects and then I will be submitting yet again for another one…

I am going to enjoy the change of pace for a few days. It should a good change if not exactly a break.

Just a wednesday post

Is determined to enjoy this wonderful Wednesday! I am waiting and waiting for something from someone else is hard for me. I don’t multi-task at all well and in fact it can often lead to minor disasters when on occasion I attempt it.

My daughter rides and yesterday was tough for her as her horse hurt himself and so she couldn’t ride at the regularly scheduled time. Funny how this affected her whole outlook; it hopefully is minor so that in a few days things are back to normal. Actually coach checked the horse this morning and found all to be sound so I will have a very happy girl this afternoon.

I managed to stay on track on my eating yesterday except for a Timmies doubledouble last night. I am hopeful that today I do a little better. I have been good with lunches and sticking with salads, however evening meals are a little tougher as the options of what the others will eat somewhat limit my choices.

I didn’t go to bed as early last night as I should have as I was trying to fix something on a computer game for my daughter. I finally had to postpone it for another time as it got late and I seem to need my sleep.

Actually I just got one of the phone calls I was waiting and things are progressing onsite. I will need to meet with two of my contractors to keep things smoothly moving along.

Well this is going to be all for now. However thought I would take advantage and get a post done while I was waiting.

A brandnew day!

Well there is good news and then some not so good! I forgot my snack at home today so likely it will be a long morning without this!

I did however get breakfast this am and that is a very good thing.

Also another point worth mentioning is I am very close to 10lbs off since I started. This is exciting and motivating. Imagine if I had exercised as much as I should have where I would be.

It is still cold and miserable here; seems to be pointing to an early winter although they are calling for a return to summer like temperatures later this week.

I find my mood is improving slightly and I am hoping that I get to be early and I am sure that it will keep improving as long as I don’t get to over tired. It’s hard to get all the sleep I should as I don’t seem to sleep soundly so have to really work at making sure I don’t short change myself. I don’t have any reserve right now it seems.

Update for today!

Whew it’s almost noon and I missed breakfast this morning. I am feeling it right now which is really funny because I used to skip breakfast all the time.

I am almost complete my first week of a new program to address my eating etc. I am doing well at the eating have to work on the exercise portion however.

I am going to use my blog to track my progress on this. I had a really negative experience yesterday that had I just waited instead of pushed my own agenda could have been avoided. You would think I had learned this lesson by now, but no I haven’t so I pushed and was hurt in the process.

Anyhow on a more positive note already my program seems to be making a difference. When I stepped on the scale yesterday it was 290 or below which is about a five pound reduction since the first of the week.

I loved the sentiment a friend posted this morning on face-book! “Alright Monday, bring it on I am ready for you!”

Have an awesome day!

First Post

As I read through a couple of blogs this morning I was struck by how I think I really would like to keep a record like this.

So here goes, I am going to try and see what results.

Have an awesome day everyone!
