Sum It Up Sunday

So this week was ok.  I can tell my motivation is coming back.  I got my dress for Andrea's wedding.  It fits (I was surprised because it is an 18) and that was a nice feeling.  Her wedding is in May so I am hoping to lose weight because the dress shows my knees and I HATE my knees!  This week I plan on doing Zumba and yoga.  I have groceries to eat clean as well.  I WILL have good news at Weight Watchers on Thursday -  Dont you worry!

Thankful Thursday

Thanks for the folks who still read - even since there hasn't been anything exciting to report in the weight loss category lately!  Your support means the world!

Workbook Wednesday

I've changed Wednesdays to Workbook Wednesday.  Since I am taking these wellness classes, I am constantly learning about myself.  I have a lot of workbooks and activities I complete.  I plan on sharing what I have learned about myself on Wednesdays...Maybe you guys can relate.

Today I focused on my career and my overall happiness in my career.  I had to list 5 things I like and dislike about my current position. 

Like

• The kids
• Helping people
• Location
• My boss
• Co-workers

Dislike

• Salary
• Upper management
• Morale
• I can't trust anyone there
• Stress

I also had to list 5 reasons I want to become a health coach and change my career

• To help others
• To share my (hopeful) success story
• To be my own boss
• To stay healthy
• To inspire others

These may sound like silly little exercises, but I have realized that I really never take the time to think about these things.  My life will never improve if I don't brainstorm and plan on my next move.  Here's to change!

Truthful Tuesday

So - Since I have been living with Jaime, I have had the opportunity to really observe how a very thin person lives.  Here is what I have noticed about Jaime that is very different than me:

• She eats at the kitchen table.  I do not think I have ever seen her eating on the couch.  
• She eats slowly
• Her portions are small and in small bowls/plates
• She works out first thing when she gets home and never has an excuse
• She has more energy because of her eating and exercise

It has been interesting to watch how different we are.  I need to work on some of these things, especially not eating on the couch and working on portions!

Mmmmmmmmm Monday

I am reading another book on eating clean.  I really wish I had the will power to eat clean.  I really feel like it is the healthiest way to eat.  Do any of you eat clean?  If so, I would love to hear some recipes!  Tosca Reno is one of my favorite authors.  I love how inspirational she is!
