I had a blog that I was dedicating to Health and Weightloss.  However, my dedication to weightloss isn’t as strong or consistant as I’d like it to be.  So instead of having a blog just for weightloss and health, I decided to add it to this blog.  So you’ll see a few other posts here that cover the various health aspects of my life as well as just about anything else.  I hope you’ll enjoy some of the new additions and topics that will be added to this blog.

At Mommy PR she did a review of Patches the Bear from Dreamcatchers for abused children.  This bear, Patches, isn’t just for abused children, it’s for any child who is going through something difficult and having a hard time expressing their emotions.  With this wonderful bear, they can learn to identify and express those emotions.

Obviously I haven’t been here for a while.  I’ve been here (pointing to my chair), but I haven’t been here on this blog…. or any of my blogs really.  I’ve posted a handful of things on one or two of my blogs but they’ve been few and far between.  Why?  Well that’s a very good question….. wish I had a good answer for ya.

From Bella Online Journals Site – February 10th – This week is the Celebration of Love week. Think about a time in your life when you felt loved. Describe what that was like. How do memories like that influence your self-esteem today? How do those times of feeling loved shape who you are as a person now?

I made up a tongue twister yesterday.

“How many blogs would a blogger blog if a blogger could blog blogs?”

It’s in the same tempo as the wood chuck one… how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?  That one.  I think I started thinking that tongue twister yesterday because I was going through the blogs I read and thinking to  myself “wow! How many blogs do I read?  Do I actually read all these blogs?  How do I read all these blogs when I can’t post to all my blogs that often!  Maybe if I stopped reading so many blogs then I could WRITE on my blogs and then I wouldn’t freel  like totaly crappy about not blogging when I should be blogging.”

THEN I thought “is there a limit to how many blogs a blogger can read?  Not like physically, like the internet gods have put a law down saying “thou shalt only read xx many blogs and no more”, but like  the theory the human ear can only hear so many notes before it stops hearing them.   And then I think about my blogs that I’ve totally neglected for a couple of months and wonder why I bothered starting them if I wasn’t going to write in them.  And then I thought about how what difference does it make because no one’s really reading them any more than I ‘m reading all the blogs that I have in my RSS reader, and then I think how rude that is for someone to subscribe to my blog but not actually read it.  Then I think wow I”m such a hypocrit because at least 1/4 1/2 3/4 oh hell 99% of the blogs in my reader I”m not actually reading all the time!  And THEN I thought but sometimes I do read them, and if I read them all that would be a GREAT excuse for not blogging in my own blog!!  THEN I thought that maybe if I was writing in all my blogs that would be a great excuse for not READING blogs!  Then I realized I”m not doing either because I”m addicted to Twitter, which is sorta micro-mini-blogging and that’s a legitmate excuse for not blogging or reading blogs.

So there’s my twisted thought process and why I don’t read/write often.  LOL

More often than not I look in the mirror and I flinch.  I hate what I see.  Then I saw a post at the Good Vibe Coach about weight loss.  She says that to lose weight you first have to love your body as it is.  She is so correct about that!  What you resist persists!

So that got me to thinking about how I used to feel about my body.  I never had a weight problem in my life until about 7 years ago.  My eating habbits aren’t any different, my life style isn’t any different, even my physical problems aren’t any different.  The only thing that is different is how I look at myself.

I’ve held onto a lot of guilt through out my life.  I carry that guilt in my stomach.  So, even though my entire body is holding onto a lot of weight, it’s concentrated around my abdomen.  I’ve done the exercising and dieting, which has taken off some of the weight, but it  never stayed off, and I was never able to take more than a few pounds off at a time.

I knew there was something I was missing.   A few weeks ago at my Effortless Living class, my coach, Honoree, got me to release some of the guilt I’ve been feeling (I’ll post the instructions later).  Which released a ton of weight off my proverbial shoulders if not my actual ones.  I started losing weight almost immediately after that, but still just a teensy bit.  Then after I read the post by the Good Vibe Coach, it all made sense to me!

The big difference between me now and me when I was thin was how I was seeing myself.  I needed to get back to that feeling of love for myself, no matter what I looked like!  I realize this is going to take some work, because the negative feelings have been hammered into my self consciousness, but I’m willing to take that challenge to make it happen.

I know I’ve been gone off this blog for a while.  There’s been a multitude of reasons why, but excuses don’t do anything but keep you bogged down in the past.  The reasons I’ve been gone have passed, and now I”m ready to move forward.  So lets take this first step together!!

This is my first action step towards loving myself.  I am going to say and write this affirmation every day.  Once in the morning, once in the evening and then whenever I feel or hear myself saying something negative about my body.  This is the affirmation:

I love my beautiful body.  It is perfect as it is today.  It functions perfectly, beautifully and effortlessly in every way.

You can use this affirmation or create your own.  If you create your own, make sure it resonates with you and where you are having the most difficulty.  Then just keep saying it and writing it all the time!

I know that my guilty feelings are what has created the weight that I’m carrying.  What has created your weight or health issues?

So it’s been a while since I’ve blogged here.  I’ve blogged at my other blogs, but not here.  I guess most of my posts have been more niche type posts, and this blog is more of my “Other” blog or the “None of the above” blog.  So it gets a little more neglected now that I have so many niche blogs and microblogs.  However, since Sunday I made some vision boards I thought I’d share them with you here.

As you can see, I’ve gained quite a few pounds over the last 7 years. It’s only been since I turned 30 that I’ve had any trouble with my weight. And now, at almost 37 (my birthday is next month), I”m at the heaviest I’ve ever been. Of course, I’ve said that so many times in the last 7 years, it almost seems rediculous. But I’m going to change all of that now.

I believe in the Law of Attraction, and in the Power of Tithing to your spiritual advisor.  So what I am going to do, is use those two ideals to change my physical body.  I will be posting updates and idea, as well as articles on the subjects at hand.  But mostly, I’ll be keeping track of my progress in this blog.

Maybe you’ll learn something from my journey as well.  I hope you’ll enjoy either way.

OR two…. This blog is like my “whatever” blog.  There’s no real theme to it, no niche, or train of thought.  It’s sorta all over the place.  However, I find myself wanting to post more on Politics and weight loss (or lack there of), but I don’t want to just post everything that pops into my head on this blog.

So here’s my idea.  Maybe i’ll make this blog all about Weight loss and come up with another blog for specifically politics.  My Pagan Witch site is all about spirituality, Best HomeSchool Place is homeschooling stuff, Bluewinds is for my crafts, pagan Writers Guild for writing (duh! i know).  The only thing is that I like having a blog where I just bounce ideas off the walls of the blog.  Where I can just slap any old thing on it.  I guess I could still do that here, even if my focus changes to mostly weight loss.

Decisions Decisions….. have I told you I”m a Libra?  Let’s just say, it’s not easy for a Libra to make a deicion.  Gotta weight the pros and cons, see all sides of it, then figure out what the possible gains or consequences would be for each side of the argument.  THEN I have to figure out if there’s anyone else that might be affected by the decision, and if there is, then I have to figure out how they would be affected by it.  Get their opinions on the matter, decide if they are being honest or just trying to take some burden off my shoulders.  Then I have to figure if I want to risk the consequences that might affect others……. do you see what I”m getting at???  LIBRAs!!!

Well… after much deliberation with myself, I’ve come to a temporary decision.  LOL!  I’ll start posting my weight loss stuff here, and see how that goes.  I”ll still post my ramblings (see above paragraph) here as well, but it will mostly me being whiney (i’m good at that), and crying about what I have to do to lose some weight.  So I hope you’ll come back to see what I’m up to on here…. I”ll probably be changing things around AGAIN!  (side note: that’s probably the REAL reason I wanna do this, not cuz I have so much to say, but because I LOVE designing my blogs!  LOL).

Thanks for reading my ramblings and mad commentary on myself!  LOL!

Ok, so yesterday was Sunday, and I didn’t blog my blessings yesterday.  I”m doing it today anyway because I want to show my gratitude to the Universe, and the Universe doesn’t really care what day I thank it.  So there

It’s not about not having bad days, it’s about getting past them.

Today was a bad day.  I don’t really know why, maybe because I spent time yesterday to think about what it was I wanted.  Maybe it was because it was just my time to be upset.  Whatever it was, I was feeling pretty crappy, but I”m feeling much better now.  This is the affirmation that I used to keep me from crying today.

This Too Shall Pass!

And now, it’s passed, and I’m feeling good.  Of course I’m feeling good because we got another large check from one of our customers.  It’s always good to get paid!!!  LOL!  Anyway, I’m feeling good, have a new look to my blog, and we have money in our bank!  WOHOOO!

I watched the movie “The Secret” last night, for the first time AND my youngest ended up watching most of it with me.  I’ve been studying the Law of Attraction, the Laws of Prosperity, manifesting abundance, and everything that the secret talks about.  Information overload, and I’ve been getting a little discouraged.  Of course, I also haven’t been doing the things I should, like writing everyday, meditating every day, and stuff like that.  YOu know, just the stuff that makes it work!  LOL!
