Notes on food & health
I don’t know what the heck happened but I have nasty cold symptoms, today and yesterday. I’m just suffering through it, drinking my vinegar and honey juice. I’ll be going to bed in a minute here - nice and early so I can sleeeeeeeeeeep!
About food and health: one thing I really really want bad is good health. I’ve noticed issues with joints and stiffness. I’m encouraged in that when my health started to get worst 2 years ago from eating bad, cleaning up my habits helped me feel like I used to. Now I’m stuck trying to clean up my habits more. I want to be healthy and for my body to ... read more Tuesday (Day 41) 16 y
Must set some time aside for stuff I want.
Today I’m thinking that I should schedule time for deliberate creating. I find I’m just squeezing this in. I do try to watch and regulate my thinking, but maybe a few minutes before bed or something I can just stop and focus on this. I’ll start tonight, right after I write up stuff here. visit the page Monday... feeling a bit ill 16 y
Stoopid Cold!
So, I wonder what started this but I have cold symptoms and mucus drainage and sinus pressure. It’s not so pleasant today. Not feeling so well but I started the Alkalizing drink anyway, minus the pickling lime water which I don’t have. I’ve read several things on the testimonials that point me strongly in this direction. I made a double batch after work and I’m sipping it now. The directions say people find the kelp vile - if only! Then I’d just pay for the tablets. It’s the blackstrap molassas that I find gross. But I can get by. I’m really really reeeeeeeeeeeeeally hoping this m ... read more Sunday (Day 39) 16 y
Kickin' butt, takin' names.....
The weekend has been really good in terms of starting to relax and getting stuff done. I have homework and housework and part of my stress has to do with feeling overloaded, but I still went out Friday and relaxed and had fun. I *so* needed that! yesterday, I did some housecleaning which makes me feel loads better! And I also got some schoolwork done and I’m right on track. If I have another productive day today, I will not have to worry so much. In fact, I should stop worrying during the week b/c I always seem to be able to get enough done at least on the weekend. So schoolwork is ... read more Saturday (Day 38) 16 y
New immediate goal for health: knees and joints
My plans for the weekend: do homework, finish those darn taxes. I had a few hiccups with the taxes, think I made a mistake. Finished though, haven’t filed. Need to go back and fix the mistake. I already spent hours but ready to finish. I want to finish my homework and have controlled healthy eating.
One main key to my plan to being slimmer and healthy is these workouts that I’ve been doing and keeping up with. I really like them. It’s 6 days a week - an at home workout on DVD called P90X. I was enjoying it a lot but working out that much has started to make my knees feel really ... read more Friday (Day 37) 16 y
Today: think good thoughts, be relaxed.
So my mood has fluctuated often in the past week or so from stressed to ok. I’m used to being in a better mood more consistently and I don’t like the stress. There is a lot going on but I think I’m going to refocus from some of this other stuff to simply relaxing through everything that is going.
My goal for today is to be more relaxed and enjoy the day. If I wasn’t semi-conscious of all this other stuff, in my moment right now I would be fine and happy. I have a good day planned, some social time after work. I will not get back to the grind at home until tomorrow.

More babbly about the food thing, then my intentions for the future.
So yeah, about food issues. Someone made a very good point: although I eat far less junk then I ever have, I do still eat a good bit of natural sweets. It’s something to keep in mind as something that may be affecting this issue for me. Also, I was saying that part of it may be because my husband has been gone for a good long time. I spend most evenings at home studying and I’ve gotten into bad habits there.
What I’m thinking now is to absolutely not have food at home or only have food when I sit down officially for a dinner at my table, i.e. to get out of the habit of snacking at h ... read more Wednesday (Day 35) 16 y
Food issues all bare and exposed...
Ok, so part of the whole point of this whole thing of counting days is to make sure I actively state my intentions and therefore actively focus on what I want created for 100 days straight. Although I’ve been good at staying on the blogging, I’ve done miserably so far at one part of my health goal: eating habits and weight loss. If I feel good generally about overeating, thinking I’m working out a lot and so probably eating more is good for nutrition and support of my vigorous workout program, I still gain weight. :-( Weight and eating is such a convoluted subject for many women, perha ... read more Day 34 16 y
Quick note today..
Both bad and good this weekend. In spite of bad stuff, I still have in mind what I want. I got up early this morning and began writing on a seminar I’m developing. I think that would be an amazing turn of events if I could do some speaking for money when I return to the east coast.
I’m also on target with working out and treating people well at work - improvement at work and up to date on my workout. So good stuff in progress, looking forward to more. visit the page more on day 33 16 y
talking about my future
I really want to get back to being relaxed and happy. I think that’s how I am most of the time. That is a place where focus can bring great results. At the same time, focus and intense plans can also lead me to push and push means stress. So I need to come back to balance. I had a good moment of that this morning after meditation; perhaps I’ll do that again before bed. In the meantime, I will state what I want:
I want a relaxed, enjoyable, propserous life.
I want to be a relaxed, peaceful yet accomplished person in many areas. One of the primary areas is my marriage. So far I ... read more Monday (Day 33) 16 y
A little meditation helps turn the stress into calm
Well, I called in ”sick” today at work so I could have some more time to work on stuff. I’m a little stressed again when I found that the project I had to do yesterday which looked easy was much more of a pain in the rear than I’d thought. I still have taxes to do and several other things along with lots of homework. Yikes! So it’s a catch-up day as well as a mental health day.
I am suffering now from a malady called ”island fever”. Yes, don’t hate me but I’m stuck on this rock and I can’t get off!!! I’m feeling really yancy to move back to the mainland near my family and I have ... read more Sunday (Day 32) 16 y
I'm working on attracting the things I want in life.
Yesterday I did extremely well on my homework. I cleaned the upstairs bathroom which made me feel really good b/c I need to clean and get caught up on homework. Homework went by much easier and more quickly than I thought. I still have a bunch today but it now seems conceivable to get it done today and also clean the rest of the upstairs and do taxes. Yesterday morning I wasn’t sure if all this could be done so *YAY*
Stating intentions:
It would be fabulous if I was caught up for this week on my science class homework and project and psychology class homework for the next week! ... read more Saturday 16 y
I've been feeling a little stress so I'm stating some 'wouldn't it be great' intentions to get things feeling good and moving.
Well, I’ve gotten so busy with lots o’ stuff, I’ve been feeling some resistence to it kick in, aka stress & worry about it not getting done, then the resulting stress that feels a little like resentment that I’m so busy it’s worrying me. So here’s ideally how the weekend would go:
It would be so great if I got all my schoolwork caught up on this weekend, just to the point where I could use Monday to start cleaning house rather than catching up for my Science class. That would be great! If I could accomplish that, it would be super swell. Then I could call Carlos to come in and do dr ... read more Thursday (Day 29) 16 y
Vibrations low, determined to improve tomorrow...
Really bad day today, vibration wise. Did better on eating because after yesterday, I decided I should call up some determination and plus I’ll feel better after a day of eating well. That went well. But work was a disaster.
Actually the day at work was good generally, but like I said, vibration wise not so good. I got really mad for a bit at my boss and the frustrating situation that part of my department is in. On the way home I was listening to the book ”The Astonishing Power of Emotions” and there were a few examples in the book that helped me get my head on straight about the ... read more Mood Swings & LOA & Weight & Junk 16 y
I would seriously like to befriend someone who has made a change and used the Law of Attraction to lose weight.
It’s funny, when you’re trying to always focus on having positive thoughts, you become much more aware of mood fluctuations. This is even with me, a person probably far less moody than average. Of course there are still fluctuations. You can’t force a positive feeling. I’ve been trying out advice from the book about the power of emotions, namely when I notice my thoughts/mood going sour, trying to find thoughts that feel a little better and so on.
It makes me extra aware of where my energy goes. A lot of time I have a lot of very positive energy going in a direction that I like. A ... read more Tuesday (Day 27) 16 y
Still working on having my thoughts in a good place for my progress
School:
So I want to get $100,000 for graduate school. Over the past few days, a few things have come up that could be how I make money when I get back to the East Coast, so that’s exciting. My very best friend is learning how to flip houses and she has some good resources to do so. If she learns to do this quite well in a year, perhaps I can jump on board and do some of that with her, making money for school. In fact, if it can be done very part time, that’s just about perfect. I could earn a good paycheck every 2 or 3 months and pay for school. So that is a very attractive possibi ... read more |
