I wanted to write a quick something...here I am, on vacation from my wonderful job! (and yes, I mean it!) It is a very demanding position so I'm thrilled to sleep late, go to the gym when I want and also looking forward to scottsdale resort this coming Monday through Thurs.
This season has been different. I am NOT on the first phase of southbeach. My main intention is weight loss. I have this hazy realization that I need to do some serious changing of my thoughts and beliefs around this whole i…

So, this is mys econd day on southbeach. One of my intentions each season is to get to a certain weight. I've decided to use southbeach because my doctor said it was the best, next to weight watchers. I only have 15 pounds to go so I'm determined. I'm using the affirmation "I now allow my body to go to it's lowest healthy weight."
For the nitty gritty; Now I'm sitting at my desk, eating breakfast of plain yogurt. I have put splenda and vanilla in it ...so it's nice. Yesterday I ate: breakfast,…

I am not so positive these last few days. For almost two weeks I have not been physically feeling so great. And then that affects my moods. It's a lazy sunday and I have been eating like crazy. I've been eating things that I otherwise dont' eat. I really want to do South Beach again. My will power and determination leaves much to be desired. I go on facebook quite a bit and found a quote from one of my friends; " Know what you want to do ,hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be…

I am feeling a little better today I stayed home from work today and felt horribly guilty...well, maybe not horribly guilty. I have parent teacher conferences and I missed the ones today. Fortunately I have an interpreter who called the parents and rescheduled. Soooo, iti's a little after 8 and I need to get some zz's so that I can be fresh tomorrow. I'm on antibiotics etc, so i'm confident that I'll feel even better tomorrow. Since I slept most of the day, there's not a lot to report. I had a g…

Not totally sure what the day is today, maybe the 9th...anyway, it's saturday. I am feeling a bit under the weather, really bad cough, sore throat! Damn it...I know, probably shouldn't be so negative, and then again, I'm trying to exclude the word 'should' from my vocab. So, I'm glad it's saturday and I'm trying to get going and get to the gym. Had a great night last night at a place in kc called the power and light district. it's my mother in law's last weekend with us and it's been the best vi…

I'm sitting up in bed feeling very under the weather so to speak. It's a good thing though because I'm getting much needed rest. I wont' make this too long but wanted to blog. I hear a lawn mower outside and feel the warm weather moving in. It's been very cloudy and I am ready for sun, sun, sun. Honestly, I feel a little guilty for not going to work even though if I were to have gone, I probably would have stayed home the next day.
Enough of that. I have been on youtube listening to and watchin…

Day two here....sitting up in bed..(I rise slowly..and not without coffee..) Soon to dash out and hit the gym to do the spinning class. I made my second video and am a little disapointed that I can't seem to add any music to wondows movie maker..other than the music that was on this computer when I bought it. Anyway, I had a great time with my husband this morning just sitting and talking about deep stuff. I love the deep. I intend to start putting my vision board together. I spoke with my great…

May 1st, 2009, I'm seriously beginning my third season of the challenge. I realize that we attract things into our lives without a challenge, but this active awareness makes it all so real AND increases my faith. I look back over this last year (As my first challenge began May 1st, 2008.) and see that almost everything that I wanted on my vision board has come to pass. It makes me happy and fills my heart with faith when I see this law before my very eyes.
I have been thinking about what I woul…

It's so amazing that this is my third season challenging the universe to do what it does best. I will video blog, do a vision board and blog. First, I want to write that the intentions that I had for the first and second season have manifested themselves for the most part. My intentions were weight loss, cosmetic surgery, finding a soul mate, getting involved in the beauty industry, living in the moment, being happy, financial properity, working out in the mornings before work and a general inte…

It's 7:15 here in Ra'nana, Israel. My husband and I arrived here on Sunday. There was a horrific tragedy in his family that made all the Israeli papers about the deaths of a whole family,members of his family. This left Israel stunned and grieved. Things like this just don't happen in this little country. It has been quite an experience but I have felt this sort of cloud of protection around my heart. Still, to think of this is draining. Here they sit Shiva, which is a good tradition because for…

I'm at work and have to get my students soon. But I woke up this morning ater dreaming a most amazing dream. Let me first give you some background. I have two grown, beautiful children. My first was born by emergency c-section; I had been in labor over 24 hours. My second was born with no labor and a planned c-section. Me? i've been going through the biggest changes this last year than I ever have in my life.
Last night though, i went to bed feeling a little heavy. The whole financial thing has…

I'm sitting at my table where I usually video blog and typing here...on my page. The television is on the vic-presidential debate..(I'm a glutton for torture) I got home from work and drank a huge glass of milk and my husband said it was sort of bad. The carton was 'swollen'. I noticed it but thought nothing of it. Oh welllllll...stomach hurts a bit, but what the heck. I wont' eat tonight, that's for sure.
I went to the gym at 5:30 this morning to be with my trainer. She gave me a great pep tal…

This is my second season and my goal is on the weight loss. I went to the doctor today for a 'well woman' and I've gained 11 pounds over the past year.AHHHHHHHHH....Yes, I"m discouraged. I would video blog but I can't find my camera. It is so discouraging because I really have tried. Without bringing everyone down, I'll just say this is not something that I wanted to happen. I am very grateful for so much in my life. I really am. I see the big picture. But, as I am human, I am also part of the s…

okay, here's the scoop if I haven't already mentioned..I spilled red wine on my laptop keyboard..yeah...i know...Anyway, a temporary solution is that i bought this keyboard and plugged it into my laptop and here I am. Soooooooooo......I bought this thing called the bodybugg. It keeps track of all the calories I've burned. My intention or goal is to lose the last 10 pounds of my weight loss thing. However, when I got on the scale finally, I realized it would have to be 18 pounds...I've gained 8 p…

It's a beautiful day here in the heartland. I've had a most wonderful, fun weekend. It's beginning to turn hot here again. Last night we had all the windows open and the whole house fan on and it was beautiful. I'm sitting here just typing this, and there's a man upstairs finishing the floors. We have had our second story hardwood floors all refinished and they are beautiful!!! Soon I'll go out and by food for my son's twenty seventh birthday (which makes me a child bride right???) His real b'da…

Alrighty then, I'm drinking this great chianti and it's in a wine glass that wasn't rinsed properly and alas...the taste of Dawn on my lips, and I don't mean a beautiful sunrise....HA!
In all seriousness, I'm beginning my second season shortly; on Monday to be exact. I have an excitement and expectation of good things in my heart. Life is great and giving isn't it? And of course, God is so purely good. One of my intentions for this new challenge is about my 'money making' skills...meaning job.…

Good morning all....I'm up early to go to the gym but will check in for my flight tomorrow instead; I really want a window seat. Anyway, I found this quote that I liked and will post it. It's by Frank Lloyd Wright, an amazing archetect (sp?) some may have heard of...Anyway, here it is;
