Fearless Thinking

Great Pilates session this morning and then Prosperity Princesses, and some work too. I'm glad to be back to normal - I realized today that I probably could have spared myself my week of FUNK had I changed my thoughts, which would have changed my emotions and led me to do things differently. What a concept!!! Today at Prosperity Princesses, Michael Price, author of the book Fearless Thinking came to speak to us. His website is in my links. And, I realized that I caused my FUNK by the thoughts I had about being excluded from something, this in turn created my disappointed, sad, left out, and hurt emotions, which lead me to eat, drink, not exercise and wallow for a week. All I had to do was change my thoughts. This is the same concept I am reading in the book, Infinite Possibilities, put into a more practical format. I'm going to say it again. What a great concept!!! And, oh so true. He spoke about the voice in our heads that tell us things, you know who I am talking about - the little guy I call the "little drunk monkey." It is perplexing to me that for a week I didn't equate any of my thoughts, emotions and actions to the monkey. I realized now it was just the little guy talking in my head again, not my justified emotions leading me off track. Wheeeeew.... thank goodness I figured that out. We can change our thoughts to change our emotions to change our actions. I’m excited about this – now I just have to recognize the thoughts that turn to emotions, and change my ways of behaving before they become unproductive - change those thoughts to positive thoughts, with positive emotions and positive actions. Or as Michael says, “change your thoughts from fearful to fearless to achieve purpose, passion, and prosperity.” WOW! Oh, and despite or should I say in spite of my week of FUNK, my weight stayed the same. Oh, and also I bought two new pairs of running shoes today. Tomorrow I promise to write on Super Foods. I received mine via UPS today.

Tomorrow I hit it....

Tomorrow I hit it....what I mean by that is I am back on track. I will go to Pilates in the morning and then do my cardio, eat my healthy meals and record my exercise and my foods. I am actually excited to be out of my FUNK. Weird! That is all I can say about last week. It is weird how ones emotions can affect your whole life if you let it. Oh and I will tell you about Super Foods soon, as soon as I get my order.

Enough is Enough

Okay. Enough is enough. I am officially out of my FUNK. I guess I just needed to realized what was causing it. And, now I am moving on...moving on in MY journey. I am ready to rock and roll and release a whole lot of pounds. This is it!!! My time to shine. I ordered the Super Foods that I spoke about the other day. When I receive my order I will tell you all about each one and how they are good for the body. I can't remember now exactly which ones I ordered. I also bought a new bed - mine was more than 15 years old - I am hoping this will help me to get the rest I need to release pounds and get the most benefit out of all the exercise I am doing. I recently read that sleep is so vital in releasing pounds and in maximum exercise performance. So, I am hoping to see a big difference....I am waiting now for it to be delivered. I splurged and got the Tempur-pedic bed - it feels like sleeping on a cloud. I just passed my Broker Renewal test this morning. That was another thing that was looming over my head, but it is done now. YEAH!! I feel the real Suzanne coming back as I write this. I knew I would have setbacks in my journey and this last week certainly counts as one, but it is over now. Thank you Universe. Happy thoughts!

HURT

I realized tonight talking with my walking buddy, Laurie, that my FUNK is caused by my hurt feelings from my family....I call them my family, but I am not so sure that they call me their family based on the family meeting they had where I was not invited....not invited intentionally according to one of them... because they only wanted family there. What am I? I have been there for them for years...I thought I was a part of their lives.... I am so hurt by what my step-children have done to me by leaving me out of their news...that I know now that is the source of my FUNK. I am not happy with myself for letting this effect me this much, but it is only because I love them so much. I am not going to let this hurt me any more. That is it. I really can't believe that I have let this hurt me so much...but it has...but I am done now. This is it.......

Another day of FUNK

Okay. This is not good. This is the second day of the terrible FUNK. I must get past this. I didn't even go to teach tonight. I called in sick, which I never do. And, I am sick, but not too sick to have taught. I guess my mind and body are rebelling and the food fest continues. Oh please make this go away. On a happy note today I had a little dog visitor for Cleo. I found a puppy in front of my house this morning. The little gal stayed all day and played with Cleo. This afternoon I walked around the neighborhood with Cleo and the puppy, who I named Ginger, to find her parents, and as I was walking down the street a little boy came running up to me saying "Bailey, Bailey." So, "Ginger," "Bailey," went home to her family tonight. It was so cute to watch her run around with Cleo all day. My friend Alysia told me that Cleo told her she wanted a friend, and that was so evident today. I guess I need to search out a pal for Cleo soon. And, FUNK be gone....please Universe, please!!!!

Not only am I sick, but I am also in a big FUNK

I missed another day of posting yesterday purely because I was in a FUNK. I am trying with all my might to get out of this bummer I am on - being sick does not help at all. Even watching the Biggest Looser last night didn't catapult me out of this. Usually that show is good for a huge boost of motivation for me. I am doing everything I can to get better - lots of Emergen C, Airborne, Zycam, and I even used the Nettie Pot for the first time. That is a weird experience! I am hoping today will be the last day of my FUNK so I can move on with my journey. Needless to say I have been eating everything and anything I can find around the house - most of it bad and have not done one minute of exercise since Pilates at 9:30 a.m. on Monday. And, at my weigh in on Monday. I had gained two pounds. So, I am down only 8 pounds after two months on the journey. I really need to re-evaluate what I am doing. Maybe my body just needed a rest. Or maybe the emotional things that happened a week or so ago are taking their toll physically now. Whatever the case - Make this go away! Please Universe...make this FUNK go away.

okay officially sick

I made it through the day, but I am officially sick. But, I did a holding in the light with my Prosperity Princesses to be healthy - so tomorrow I will be well. I'm taking the day off of working out tomorrow to assure my recovery. I will get to the Super Foods and everything else once I feel better. It is amazing how not feeling well effects your whole life. I say no more to this not feeling well thing. Tomorrow I will be healthy and vibrant!!!!
