Haven't posted in a few days. Busy... some of you may have seen Liza did well at her first puppy show on Sunday. That was fun.
Weight is up just a tad. Absolutely deserved. I am having extreme difficulty keeping the tempting holiday treats off my radar. They are abundant here at school this week. As you know, I am a "one taste throws me over the edge" type of sugar addict. Moderation has very little influence on my eating once a combo fat/flour/sugar food has passed my lips. I am practicing thoughtful and goal oriented eating today.
Hating your body is equal to hating yourself. True, I think for most of us. However, I do think it is possible to want to change one's body while accepting the current state of one's own body. Hope that makes sense. I am not in love with my current physique, but I do admire the changes I am making, the strength that I have and how my shape is changing. I do not know when or if I will get to the point of "liking" my body. What I do know is that I am working toward an unknown best version of my physical self. The road to that unknown goal is riddled with pot holes of preconceived notions of what the ideal me SHOULD BE. Every time I encounter one of those pot holes I have to actively reset my thinking. Sometimes I still forget to do that and I get trapped in the pot hole for a bit. Right now planning workouts and focusing on muscle groups is helping me a great deal in that respect. As an example, my workout on Monday was chest focused with attention to ab strengthening. Yesterday was completely focused on back and using helper muscles to support the back (biceps, triceps, abs). Today is glute and quad focused. Tomorrow will either be a rest day or a simple half hour of cardio. Friday will be back to it and most likely a boot camp style. Depends on what the trainer wants to do.
I have been travel trailer obsessed lately. Can't decide whether that's a good thing or not. I'm excited for my tattoo this weekend, too. I have my consultation with the artist on Friday after school and then Sunday afternoon is the actual appointment. I keep putting off reminding Ron that I have the appointment. I wish I could not even remind him and just come home with the tattoo, but that won't work. If he comes home from church and I'm gone all afternoon without him knowing where I am, I think that will be panic inducing. He's been overly concerned about my whereabouts since his stroke and medical issues started.
Will try to catch up on threads tonight.
Happy Wednesday...lots going with everyone. I'm trying to get squared away before my hip replacement surgery. My weight is up...can't seems to gain control of what I put in my mouth.
I use a sleep mask and ordered the one Cecily recommended. I needed a new one. My husband watches tv in the mornings before I get up and I hate the flickering light. Problem solved.
Think of you all everyday even when I don't post!
