I was going to title this "Unexpected Blessings," but in the temple this evening, I felt inspired to "expect miracles." They truly are everywhere! One of mine today was my weight loss. I'd been expecting some, and thought I would weigh about 145 when I got on the scale. For some reason, I was thinking that yesterday I had weighed 147.2, so when I weighed in at 146.2 this morning, I thought I'd lost 1lb. Nope! I lost 3! I know that it will slow down as I get closer to my goal weight, but I'm feeling great too, and am loving it!
This go 'round of my ETL challenge, I added a goal. Usually, I have a goal about doing essentrics, and sometimes cardio, and often a sleep goal, in addition to my Eating to Live. This time, as I was writing my blog post about my goals, the thought came to add gratitude, or "give thanks," to the list. I am so grateful that I did and that I was blessed to be inspired to add it. I think it's making a huge difference in my outlook. I'm seeing the good that's happening now, instead of focusing on not being where I want to be eventually.
I'm simplifying my goals...I would love to do cardio and essentrics every day, but it's not going to happen right now, with baby Xander coming tomorrow, and thesis-writing to be done.
My revised goals:
1) Eat to Live
2) Move daily (essentrics and cardio optimally; pm yoga por lo menos)
3) Give thanks.
Healthy:
S: 4.5
E: pm yoga
W: 146.2 (-3 pounds!)
8:15 banana
11:45 lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions, cilantro, dal; grapes.
3:50 broccoli, grapes, apple, banana
Debt-free:
Didn't buy the crates I was considering. Don't need them.
Minimalist: Simplified goals! :)
