I kind of want to start a happiness project its not just being positive its making changes and taking control of more aspects of my life. Right now I feel like me and all my friends are craving changes... and I'm not sure where we will fit into each others lives in the end.
I need to work on me and being happy. It's not related to weight loss. I mean in part it is, losing weight will give me a feeling of accomplishment. But I just need more to cling to interms of feeling good about myself outside of work since I am scared thats going to be even more overwhelmingly draining than usual.
I dug out my guitar, and my sisters old keyboard, I'm by no means a musician but I like music. I enjoy it none the less, singing. That's about the only thing that I really remember always loving. Regardless of Talent or lack there of.
I don't know what I want or need to fill the void, to become... better to stop feeling constantly angsty. Just one of those... moments... trying to problem solve to make feelings that are difficult dissipate.
Morning sunshines... Day 1 woke up at 7:00 snoozed until 7:10 up and showered, watching a DVD while I drink coffee and get ready for work. Trying to breath and shake that feeling of dread I have, it feels... more than a usual monday.
Silent - I know how you feel. Losing weight is good and wonderful, but there's more to life than weight. There's more to feeling happy. I'm struggling a bit with that myself and trying to deal with feelings that are becoming more prominent as I'm taking off pounds. Boredom mostly. Mental boredom. Dunno, yet, what to do about it.
Today was weigh-in day. Down 2 pounds. Making strides towards that goal line of 299.9.
Music is, key, listening to it is energizing, and gives me extra pep in my step, no sugar high needed.
And playing it is cathardic and soothing... even if I find it challenging the soft sounds on ears is restful. Restful to the soul... takes me away from the stress and all I am focused on is a present filled with beauty...
I still haven't figured out what else I want or need...
Oh and exercise, I need to get back to that! I feel better about myself when I am active, regardless of whether I am losing/maintaining or gaining weight.
A good walk/run after I leave work and then playing my guitar or keyboard when I get home (or if I get other instruments them!) will really help I think. At any rate its a decent start for a coping strategy.
Morning sunshines, not sure I have any weight loss mojo today just taking it one moment at a time, I'm up and showered and getting ready to go face the day. :-|
I had a good 20 minute walk this morning. Nothing too stressful. I cleaned the bathroom pretty hardcore yesterday. It needed it. I'm glad I got around to it.
I think I might start needing to set myself up with weekly schedules like I do my food planning. I know I'm a free spirit, but maybe I'm too much of one
Sometimes I can see where I want to end up... but I don't know where to start.
Hi all. I'm down to 68 days before the new school year begins, and I decided I'm going to try to be OP for all of those 68 days. That seems like it should get me out of the 300s, doesn't it?
Hi everyone =)
Every day on plan gets us closer to our goals and closer to saying goodbye to the 300's!
