It's All About Attitude

I figured out what was wrong with me. I did not feel quite right the past couple of days. (No worries, Ioday I feel fine.) I had some strong stomach pains, which I thought was just gas. You know that feeling you get when you eat too many veggies/fruit? Top it off with a starch or two, and you have a lot of gurggling and stuff.

Well, I believe it was bad crab from my fridge. I had some for dinner Monday and some for lunch Tuesday. I just wanted to go to bed---laying down seemed to make me feel better. Yesterday, I went for the crab to make for lunch and I saw yellow spots. I thought I saw them the day before, but in the dim light, I thought I was just seeing things. All is better now.

I have to say, I did enjoy going to bed early and feeling well rested in the morning.

However, now I feel like I am behind in everything.....remodel to finish, flip chart to make (usually made by Wednesday), house to clean, laundry to do, etc,....and what to make for dinner tonight.

So, how does all of this pertain to my weightloss journey? IDK. Truely WATCH what you eat.

I was just commenting on Tracey's remarks: I think maintenance is easier this time for me, because I WANT to be here. I mean truely WANT to be here. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Last time I was at my goal I just wanted to get there. I'm not sure that I wanted to STAY there. Today, I do want to stay here. Today, I know that if I am heavier tomorrow (and its never by much) that I can fix it today. Used to be, that I would just keep hauling the food inward, never stopping. Today, I know that if yesterday was bad, today won't be.

Notice I said, "won't be", not "doesn't have to be". It never had to be a bad day earlier in my life. HAD to BE??? Nothing HAS to be the way it is....we can change ourselves and our attitudes and our choices. So why not start NOW? I know that tomorrow WON'T be like yesterday (the proverbial yesterday).

Join me won't you in making those choices: Choose fruits and veggies over sugar snacks. Choose to walk up a flight of stairs (or walk it quickly). Choose water over the soda. Choose mental games over television. Choose sleep over worry. Choose you over them. Choose faith over fear.

Today's diddy: "You can't have faith and fear at the same time...You can't have two opposite emotions simultaneously." ---anonymous
