Cheerio…

So…. I have survived one day without the scale.  I didn’t die or have a panic attack.  It feels empowering!  I even stuck my tongue out at it when I didn’t step on it this morning!!! :)

Things are really starting to pick up now with our move to England.  Danny and I are leaving on Monday to try and find a place to live.  We will see up to 15 properties in 2 days.  We were encouraged to make a decision on day 3 as property goes quickly in Winchester.  I will just imagine that I am on House Hunters International!!!!  We will be home the following Sunday- so I will have lots to report on and lots to catch up on!!!

Danny has been traveling quite a bit and is currently in Las Vegas.  I wanted to take a minute to share how special he is.  While he has been running around around the world working and probably has no idea what time zone he is currently in, he still finds time to think of Molly and I .  This is what I came home to yesterday…

MMMmmmMMM

Talk to you all in a week!  Be good to yourselves!!!

I Am REALLY Doing It!!!

Here I go again.  Talking about the %*^&&$(#  scale.  Why do I continue to give it so much power over me?  Why can’t I let it go???  The way that those numbers mess with my mind dumbfounds me!  The logical part of my brain knows exactly what I need to do.  Why can’t I just do it?  Maybe that is what I need to do!  JUST DO IT!  Right here.  Right now.

When I sat down to write this post I was going to give up the scale for a month.  That just changed.  This moment.  I am going to listen to my gut and I am going to give up the scale indefinitely.  OMG!  Did I just say that?  Will I really hit the Publish button?  Once I put it out there it becomes real!

I need your help and support with this.  I am shaking as I type this.  It shouldn’t be this way, but THAT is how much power the scale has over me.

Here is my plan…

  1. Put the scale away
  2. Track my food following the Weight Watchers plan that has always worked for me.
  3. Exercise 4x a week
  4. Drink my water

You are all so important to me as I tackle this.  While I need, love and want your support, I realize the responsibility is mine and mine alone to take care of myself.  I want to stay healthy and continue to be a role model for my family and friends.

Make room Trash Can!  The scale is coming your way.

Flowers+Inside=Happy

I have never considered myself a “flower” person.  Lately though I have been noticing the vibrancy in the colors of the different trees and flowers around me.  We have some different flowers in our backyard.  I was inspired yesterday to bring some of that vibrancy into my house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is amazing how happy these roses make me feel each time I pass them.

Have a happy Sunday everyone!!!

Where am I ?

I am still here.  I have just kind of lost myself for a few weeks.  I have not felt like blogging, exercising, food journaling or thinking about my journey to a better me.  I took a mental break.  I have still been interested in my friends blogs and lives- just less interested in my own.  The fog is slowly lifting and I am feeling more inspired these days.  Perhaps I needed the “break” to prepare for the whirlwind my life is about to embark on.  For those of you that don’t know- we are moving to England in June for 2 years.  Things are starting to pick up and will be getting crazy around here.  Please stay with me- even if I am not blogging much.  I have come to depend on my friends here and am feeling like I may lose you if I am slack on my blog.  Perhaps I will just have to post short snippets of what is going on until we get settled “across the pond”.

Please hang with me and take this journey too…
