Hello everyone! I am new here. I titled my post as such because about 4 years ago I started living by this motto. I realized I can't change my past life choices but I CAN stop and think about what I am doing & saying NOW to remove any chance of regret in my future!
Along this mental journey I have learned much about myself, my way of life and my actions. I am now at the point that I can CLEARLY see what is wrong with my life and what I intend to do to fix it!
Yep, I have issues! LOL Who's married with 3 kids who don't have some sort of issues?? I have 3 amazing DAUGHTERS whom I love dearly and intend to be around to see them through life for many many more years. I smoke (with athsma), yea, not so smart but its my ONE vice that I am working through. I used to smoke ciggarettes but with the cost of them having gone up so much I switched to flavored cigars and I have seen a change in the amount I smoke and my breathing....so im justified there (for now). I don't drink or use any other drugs. I'm LAZY tho! I HATE exercise with a passion! Is it possible to hate something so much you burn calories? If so, I'm there! hehe I run around constantly with my kids, cooking, cleaning, shopping, in & out of the van millions of times a day, running up and down stairs constantly, etc. but I often ask myself if this is enough? Don't matter anymore because I've taken up walking for some "me" time in the evenings. Long after the kids have drifted off in their slumbers I go for a walk, just around the block, but its enough time for me to sort my feelings of the day and unwind. Amazingly enough, it seems to be working!
Without even trying, I have been loosing weight! By simply walking, having a cocktail a couple times a week (I NEVER drink), and taking ME time. I've lost 37 pounds already! I think more than anything it has to do with my frame of mind! I ALWAYS try to be in a possitive enviroment and say/do possitive things that will encourage & empower others. Its done AMAZING things for my self esteem and all around disposition!
Now that I have realized my weight loss, its been such an energizing experience for me ( I don't see it, others do)! I FEEL it! And its been one of those feelings that screams GIVE ME MORE!! Thats why I joined here.
I am hoping to not only find support from like minded folks but also ideas on how to CONTINUE in case I hit that stopping point. I tend to procrastinate and give up easlily on things....I NEVER want this to be one of them!
I'd love to get to know everyone better. I've been reading some of the different comments on the threads and everyone seems so uplifting...THANK YOU!
No Regrets!!!
and good luck!
