Not My Monkey…Not My Circus
I almost laughed out loud when my therapist spoke those words aloud…I had been upset because I had been trying to control something/someone that I had no control over…being an Empath has always muddied the waters by feeling the emotions of others …always devoting my precious energy to trying to thinking, ruminating over and over […]

Walking the Path…
When I started writing about my weight loss journey…little did I know that it would take me through this dark journey…and never would have thought about sharing…but I do so in the hope that it may be a guiding star in someone else’s darkness… I cry almost every day, right now …and often feel like […]

“Don’t fight your demons. Your demons are here to teach you lessons. Sit down with your demons and have a drink and a chat and learn their names and talk about the burns on their fingers and scratches on their ankles. Some of them are very nice.” Charles Bukowski Making peace with one’s self is […]

135 Days…
Back home from a cold and rainy forest holiday in Hogsback (strange name with unknown origin)…supposedly the place that inspired JRR Tolkien… nestled in the Amatola Mountain range and housing the oldest forest in South Africa… With no wi-fi or internet…you can lose yourself in the pure magic…the earthy smells and fragrances of the natural […]

Vroom.. Vroom

Days Until…143
🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢…Turtling Along It does take about an hour a day to get 10,000 steps…30 minutes in the morning exercise video…Leslie Sansone 2 mile Walking video on Youtube (Free) AND 30 minutes in the afternoon…walking the dog when weather permits…love being outside…breathing the fresh air… That’s how I’m changing my mindset. Dieting based on willpower DOES […]

Yesterday was a good beginning…but it was day 1😂 but I will take the “win” … Made 10,000 steps although I walked in front of the television after supper for about 3,000 of them. Today was gym day…totally different day…but it’s all good. Won’t be getting 10,000…

Vibrational Frequency of Food… Thought I would stir the pot…so to speak with the spiritual aspect of the foods that we eat…a little whoo-whoo for some…but relevant for me and at the very least…thought-provoking🤔 …I am mulling it over too after I listened to Alan Carr’s book…he had made comments about why humans are not […]

WILLPOWER doesn’t keep a rider on the horse…at least not on this horse I’m currently riding.. Willpower does NOT work…A controversial statement for some people…yet an interesting concept… As determined and stubborn as I am… there is a reason that I keep tripping up…yes, I didn’t achieve my goal of staying on track with my […]
