DAY 8 of BEING who *I* want to be by DOING what *I* say *I* will do!

I feel so energetic today :) how refreshing to come back from a 3 day weekend celebration of our 5th wedding anniversary & not be tired or bloated!!! LOL

This journal entry will include DAYS 5-8:

DAY 5: Our Anniversary! Keeper & I hiked thru WOOLAROC Ranch,Museum & Wildlife Preserve (home of cowboy & oil tycoon Jane & Frank Phillips-think PHILLIPS 66,shared a lunch at BRICKTOWN BREWERY before attending the 49th NATIONAL ARABIAN HORSE CHAMPIONSHIPS (& I picked the Winner!)For dinner we ate at THE BLUE ROSE while enjoying the music of a live band.....

DAY 6: We slept in :) Once outta bed we took a drive down the famous ROUTE 66 & snapped pix along the way. We traveled thru CASH COUNTRY (think JOHNNY & JUNE)....

DAY 7: We went back to THE HORSE SHOW & got a personal back stage tour of the event from J.T.KELLER,himself :) Seen up close PALERMO (a Champion Horse) as well as KIDD & ENZIA. This night Keeper picked the Reserve Winner (think runner up) :)

DAY 8 (TODAY) FIRST THING I got out & walked my 2.2 miles (it was a bit harder as I slacked off over the weekend)but *I* DID IT! Rather than increase my distance any more (for now) I have added strength training! So whereas last week I was active for 25-30 min's TODAY I was active for over an hr.
I feel that doubling my activity has doubled my energy!!!

Now to see what my buddies have been up to while I was out enjoying life with Keeper ;)

DAY 4 of BEING who *I* want to be by DOING what *I* say *I* will do!

Today was the first time I ate breakfast since getting back on fs & was it ever an eye opener. I had what many consider a healthy breakfast: a Tomato & Onion Omelet with a sprinkling of shredded cheese & a side of bacon. If you check out my food diary you'll notice the portions were slightly over what an individual serving is but I didn't eat enough for 2. What would you think was the most fattening of it all? It wasn't what I thought! But,that's what the food diary is for...to help me see where my thinking & actions need adjusted :)

I watched another episode of HEAVY & read a comment or two from your posts before I headed out on my 2 mile walk. While I walked I kept the words of Ronnie's therapist (A&E) going in my mind with minor tweaks to fit my circumstances."I know how to lose weight,I need to learn how to keep it off." "There is no vacation from this way of eating." "Put my abilities to the test."
DAY 1 I *did* it! I put my abilities to the test & proved to *myself/my body* that I could PUSH past what I think I can do & do more & it felt AWESOME. :)
DAY 2 *I* did it *again*! Sweet talking myself & laughing aloud the whole way :)
DAY 3 Yes I did it,but without outside motivation.Proving to myself/my mind/my body that *I* can do this *alone* if need be. That my weight is my problem. ONLY *I* can do what it takes to change it. I have the weapons of war *inside me* to fight this battle & win.Pushing past what I *think* I can do....scratch that! Pushing past what my BODY *thinks* I can do I found them. *I* have let my BODY set the rules long enough.TOO LONG! I,*my BRAIN*,tells my body what it will do & my body will DO it! THAT is PROPER functioning :) *I* set the rules!
DAY 4,today, my body wanted to quit. I didn't want to change to walking clothes (Who says I have to? Put on the sneakers & go) A negative attitude was coming on as I began thinking about how far I would push myself today (don't think about that, just smile,stand straighter & enjoy being outside) Ugh,it's HOT!(Speed up to reach the shade,slow down to enjoy it,repeat all the way home) My foot hurts(roll off it.MAKE it walk properly,it will feel better.WHO'S the boss?) Oh! Half way thru :) (that's great! don't forget we're adding in that col'desac) Groans escape from deep within (There will be none of that,YOU enjoy walking & getting healthy! :)) My steps begin to falter & shuffle on the pavement (watch that form.pick those feet up. YOU"RE gonna make it) .................and I did 2.2 miles in 25 min's, not that the time matters just needed it to enter in activity log :)

Tomorrows another day!

DAY 3 of BEING who *I* want to be by DOING what *I* say *I* will do!

I walked 2 miles in 45 min's today with only inspiration from *myself*. No "HEAVY" encouragement since I haven't sat in front of the TV yet,or Buddy encouragement since I haven't read any ones journals or comments yet. I made it on my own today!:)
I've decided that every now & again I will do this just to keep in my mind that *I* can do this *alone* if need be. My weight is *my* problem. *I* am the one who must DO what's needed to live the life I want. NO ONE ELSE can do it for me.

I realized something wonderful today as I walked.While walking I apparently am not aware of how I look because each time I passed someone or something that I was not expecting(a 2-toned pink flower with a yellow center shaped like a night light bulb & about the same size as one that had been picked by someone & perhaps dropped unknowingly by a drive way: 4 life like Halloween creatures that scared me briefly-one actually looked like FIL,it even had a walker it was leaning on: a small dog chasing a squirrel about the same size that he was: a couple of patio ideas I think I may try at my house) I smiled,a big show my teeth smile. Why do I say this is a wonderful discovery/realization? Because with that big show my teeth smile came a body that stood a bit straighter & a shot of feel good endorphines that caused me to,if only for the moment, forget about how hot the sun was,how sweaty my face,armpits & butt was,how much farther I was going to push myself.

I wish for YOU,dear Buddies,a wonderful day of discovery about yourself!
It can be quite inspiring :)
