Great week 5 meeting!
You have the power to control how you are going to feel at that moment and on... you control your thoughts and your actions! Will you choose to create what you desire? To believe in yourself? To make change? To smile? What were you thinking when I was describing our team adventure?! Accept who you are, who you were born to be... And seize every opportunity you have to become the best version of you!

so i missed last night's meeting... i didnt use my most negative coping skills but i could have used better ones... but i ended it this morning... bc i was thinking oh i will just skip crosstrain this morning... but then i was like no this is how the cycle continues to had a bad night let it go move on... so i got up and went to crosstrain and damn it was hot in there but felt awesome when i was done... i have desires and dreams and i have to make myself a priority... I did that with also addressing my wedding i moved the date back bc i need more time... gotta do me

Good for you Kelly! Stoping the cycle has and I believe will always be a challenge for me, but I am so much better than I was even up to a year ago. This program has helped me in so many ways...no one ever masters these skill sets no matter how in control we feel days/weeks sometimes take us over. My take away is that it is ok to have a moment, hour even a day...but we need to use our tools to stop, hit the breaks, regroup and continue to make forward progress in our health, life and relationships. You did that today! Be proud. I don't want to go back to the person I was years ago and I am finally doing what I need to do to be the person I want to be...being in a positive mindset. You know what you want...we all do deep down, keep striving for it:)

I know the feeling Kelly, my babysitter is currently sick, my oldest is stressing over getting his driver's license so he can get a better job, and then I spent last night pumping out my basement so the oil guy could come today and make me have hot water once again. Instead of being at the meeting with all of you, I was stuck in the damp basement with the pump and buckets.

I'm still having a hard time adapting to the paleo diet but I'm trying as hard as I can to fuel my body with the right foods. I started out to serious and refused to be 80/20 now It's a struggle but I know I can do it. Positive is powerful!

Abby, so proud of you for taking on this challenge. It is even more difficult with all the peer pressures that you must have around you. As Heather said, celebrate the little steps that you taking. And if you acknowledge those it will get easier and just be your new way of life. You will start to feel so much better and stronger that you won't want to live any other way, so keep moving forward and remember we are all there with you! Stay strong!!!

Week 5 meeting has just reinforced my desire and I have realized I am talking more to myself and encouraging me to keep on this journey rather than that echo telling me that I am just going to fail again. I'm feeling so much better with incorporating more workouts this month even though the scale only moved a couple of pounds this week, my overall attitude has stayed positive. It has helped to reflect on the day and my accomplishments which I really never did in the past. Staying positive has been powerful!

Amazing what powers the mind has over us...i echo positive is powerful...I use to wait for something to make me happy or when I achieve "this" I will be happy. Now i find myself being present and positive and i am feeling happy daily (with bumps of course). Our achievements or moments of great success are limited, so why not celebrate daily...be happy and proud today over the small successes like Kerri reminds us:)

losing power... so this morning getting up was rough but i went to 545 crosstrain... but then my negative voice got louder than ever and was screaming at me all sorts of negative things .... and it was so overwhelming and i feel like i am barely going through the motions today... i hate that negative voice and i hate when it gets so powerful .... im doing ok im vocalizing my concerns i txt a friend a big part of my issues this morning stating i didnt need an answer that i just wanted to vent, i put in some additional vacation days and starting looking at the cost of my trip to new orleans in October .... so just trying to work through it... i know i just have to ride the wave and use the tools but its very hard........

Kelly! It is very hard: remember you really are in charge of your thoughts and feelings. Vacationing is good, but doesn't change your thoughts and feelings, it only puts them in a holding zone. When the negative voice got louder, ask yourself at that very moment what were you doing, what was going on, and why were you feeling that way. Then go from there.

Kelly i felt this way a lot in my 20's...a lot!!!! And I still do to this day, some days/weeks are better than others. Realize your self worth, we are all worthy though we don't think so more than we should. I spend so much of my time wasting energy on not feeling good enough... as a mother, wife, taking care of my house, being self critical of the way I look, even about doing this program that I didn't have enough insight or knowledge to share with you all...how long is this blog I could go on and on. We need to let go, I have to remind myself that I am doing the best that I can at this time...some days to be honest I don't give 100% but that makes me human...normal:) and I have to remind myself of that...That being said, you have to ask yourself what is it that is making you unhappy?????helpless???write it down, identify it and work off of that....so you can start moving yourself forward instead of feeling stuck....to echo Kerri this program is to help you become the best version of you, setting the path for a lifestyle journey of both mental and physical health. I would be happy to work with you one on one to dig a little deeper if you are interested, Kerri, MJ and I and your team are all here to support you even after the program is over.

Oh boy, what a weekend! You talk about a roller coaster ride........ Saturday was awesome, spent majority of the day with my grandson, Mike and my sister. We went for a bike ride along the or-bath trail and then to the Catty festival. Packed a bunch of snacks for the bike ride, larabars, almonds, etc. and did very well at that festival. Sunday was a challenging day with it being father's day, a few trials (this a very hard day for me ever since my dad has passed) and went to visit my dad's last surviving sibling who is dying of kidney failure and has no more than a week to live. We took my mother and her friend to OCB, wow, that was something I never thought I could do and survive on Paleo, BUT, I did. I will not lie, I had a cheat Sunday morning at the Church breakfast, I had 1 piece of french toast and I did have a small dish of tapioca pudding. I tell you I was so sick to my stomach and have hot flashes and cold spells all night long and all day today. Been pushing myself all day to get my work done. Thank you Kerri and everyone at DF for supporting and pushing me in the right direction of paleo. I cannot believe how bad it is to not be eating and living more clean. We also managed to get to Seasons on Sunday and it was an amazing store and am so glad Lisa told us about it. I can't wait to try all the things we bought there and to go back and get more/different items. I am so excited for tonight's meeting and look forward to so many new doors to open. Leave a Reply. |
