Self Exploration! Well, this day is finally here. The day when once my coffee is finished, and this journal is written...I will have to decide what I want to do ... for ME! Wow, that sounds weird.

Of course, there are alot of leftover chores, after being away for a few days, not to mention the tornado like scene left in the BOY's old room. LOL!

But once those things are covered, and I have gone to the gym, and the grocery store...then what?

It's good to know that I am a patient person, because I am not going to run right out and just 'take' a job. I could. There are a number of places hiring. And I am not opposed to hard work.

But I would rather focus on the things that truly bring me joy.

I was in a rather stressful (oh, I'll just say it...I hated my last job) situation before my parents got ill four years ago. It was bittersweet that I had to take care of my mom, as I was able to let go of that position, and remove myself from what WAS a great job when I started..to what became my daily 'low' for the day!!!

When my hubby and I talk about our 'high/low' parts of our day...I don't want my 'job' to be my LOW anymore!!! Too much of life has already moved by me...and sometimes 'more money' just buys you more stress!!!

I am going to spend some time today looking at what classes are being offered in my community that might be of interest to me...and see where that leads.

Getting myself, my way of eating...and all things GOAL related...back on track today.

Hope you are well! Much Love.

Well, the BOY is off to college! And I am back from Penn. What a week!! It actually hit my hubby harder than it did me. I spent a lot of time preparing for this moment. And he did not. I was a wreck on Wed and Thurs morning - but after helping our son move in on Thurs - the college had a special service Thurs night for families - and it was a Candlelight Worship Service!!

For a woman who has worshipped in church and at home w/ this son by my side - sooo many times - it was just what I needed. It gave me such a sense of peace about knowing he is exactly where God wants and needs him to be - to prepare him for his future.

I had a big smile on my face when we hugged and said our good-bye's! (didn't think that was gonna be possible, but...it was!) And he felt so excited about school, his new roommates, people he was meeting, events going on all this week, etc...

I am so proud of him, and so happy he has chosen a school where he can marry his academics with his faith!

And - I totally blew my eating plan!!!!!! Not good. But back on track and hoping to get it back to where it was w/in this week. Giving myself a little grace through the stress.

Hope you are all well.

Much Love.

It's not the 'proper' way to re-motivate yourself...but after too many indulgences - sticking to a clean way of eating and starting to get results in the loss dept...WOW, what a motivation. Perhaps there is something to the re-feed or 'cheat' day theories. I didn't do these things with intention, and I am now on week 4 of turning this ship around....and I am GRATEFUL, THANKFUL and INSPIRED to keep going!

I feel it... more energy, an overall reduction in the bloat or 'rolls' dept's ;) Just working on remaining focused and getting back under the 145 mark. Once there...it's just a matter of time to get back to the 140 mark. And I am encouraged this can be accomplished by the end of October in time for my anniversary (which is my major goal.)

Even hubby commented on a noticed change from vacation in early July til now...are you losing weight again? You look great! (thanks honey...you always make me feel beautiful!!!) (he'll never see this, but I am thankful nonetheless!)

Hope you are all doing well. One day, two days...one week, back to back, starting to move, starting to see momentum...rinse and repeat!!

It worked before, and it's working again!!!

Much Love.
