Weightloss Journey. Day 1. <-- DO OVER! YEAH!

I think it is fair to say that my first journey was doomed before it even began.  I was fighting off old demons and trying to exorcise them on my own, not realizing that sometimes the simplest answer comes in the form of friends and family.  The people in my life today, are the same people trying to save myself from a heart attack or stroke and for that I am deeply and forever grateful.  The other answer also comes from within. (Could I be more cliche? lol).

Five years ago my father had a heart attack...or two...which lead to a quintuple pass, or a quadruple and one for good luck. I swore then that I would get my butt in gear and get motivated, so I would not meet the same fate.  Being born with a heart impairment, especially mine, is bad enough, but to gain all of this weight and just let it happen, is just as bad.  I have always known the downside of my defect, but life and emotions got in the way.

Now, I truly believe I am in a better place and I ask you again to please make this journey with me. I received so much encouragement the first time and I was doing well, then I got complacent (AGAIN!) and just kind of threw up my arms in that I-Don't-Care kind of way and let it all go back to the way it was.  You see, even as a younger thinner person, I wasn't happy with me and in a very ironic way, I learned to like me AFTER I gained my weight, but I'm also afraid of croaking...sooooo... I need to learn to be persistent in my health endeavors, as well as consistent, though clearly consistency has not been my strong suit.

So here I am again.  Starting another weight loss journey, but without the time frame of 40 and without the baggage I have carried for so long....Welcome to my path and enjoy the walk as I move on to a healthier me.

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...

Mantra: I choose to be happy/excited.

  Hi!  I am back.  I posted my summation blog yesterday, talking about my thirty day meditation journey. I mentioned I would also blog about the daily mantra, but alas, I forgot.  Oops. Sorry about that.  I do believe everything happens for a reason though, after all how could I possibly write two separate blogs, about two things that go hand in hand so well?   I choose to be happy.  I choose to be excited.  I personally feel these two can be fused together.  I mean what moment of excitement didn't result in happiness, or what moment of happiness didn't result in excitement?  Though we usually associate excitement with something big, the littlest of things can also make one excited.   A few days ago, my dad called me up and we chatted for a bit.  Recently back from a trip to Hawaii, I asked my dad to bring me back a pen or two.  I love pens, they are my weakness.  It is also something small when people...
