11 December 2015

Thanksgiving came and went and I did put on a few pounds. I dinned with a family of really good cooks who take real pride in their gatherings. It was the best Thanksgiving feast I've ever had. Now that we're into December, I managed to get back on track and take those few pounds off. This means I'm where I started in November.

I don't know that Life is like a box of chocolates. Sometimes its more of an obstacle course:) I'm in transition in a way I really never imagined and certainly wouldn't have deliberately engineered. As I move through these unexpected changes, my Mantra is for "Spirit to move through me and show me the way, knowing it is for my highest good." Chief among my biggest concerns, as I try to relax into the hair pin turns, is that I revert to old behavior patterns; like using food and wine to comfort myself or just getting so frustrated that I give up.

I'm reminded that deep breathing in for 3 counts and out for 6 will always help to ground me. Trust. I must simply trust the process.

Knowing what triggers we have for our behaviors is important. For example, I know that I am a "stress eater". When I get overwhelmed or frustrated I have a tendency to say "F@@@@K it" and eat whatever is in my way.

This was one of the more stressful weeks I've had since I launched my Sign Company nearly 3 years ago. My GM is out on medical leave, I had to let my office manager go a couple of months back, and my production manager was out ill. ME this morning to myself in the bathroom mirror "Gee" (insert an explicative that didn't come out of Beaver Clevers mouth here). "Doing three jobs at once means none of them are being done particularly well?"

Ugh...I didn't "fork out" (just made that up...get it? Instead of "Stress out"?)
I did however have cocktails a few nights. That's so much empty wasted calories, and honestly it did help to calm me down a bit. It's not like I'm headed to the Betty Ford Clinic in the morning or anything, but I know it didn't help with any weight loss this week. Thank God for my faith. That's all I gotta say:)

If I'm being honest with myself, I've allowed my weight to be an excuse or "reason" for not trying or doing many things. I've told myself that no one would be interested in dating me; that I'm not capable of rigorous exercise, that I shouldn't buy new clothes, etc. These limiting thoughts are burrowed deep within my ego and as I'm steadily making progress are fighting for their lives. Life Mastery teaches to go "beyond the edge of your green growing" which is akin to going past a comfort zone. Now that I'm down 25 pounds I'm feeling more confident and see that I'm marching toward my goals.

After a full year of having a profile on Match.com and not responding to the few inquires I've had, I'm proud to report that last night I actually did respond and had a nice hour long conversation. This was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I'm glad I did it. By June of 2016 I'll be at my goal weight and won't have a waistline to hide behind or an excuse. Sometimes the things we want the most can also be the scariest:)
