February 16th, 2015 Just Start Somewhere

I must say, I'm feeling really well lately. I feel stronger. I might be starting with a slow approach with the weight lifting, but already I'm noticing a difference. This proves a most important point: Just start somewhere. Right where you are is perfect.

I'm enthusiastic about my development. Someday I'll conquer my lifetime inability to do a pull-up. I see others do them and I'm in awe of their strength. Not that I pay too much attention to those around me at the Y, but I can't help but notice the feats from some of the more advanced people. And I know, they also started somewhere far removed from where they are now.

I came home early today, enjoyed a good lunch and took a nap. I set my alarm and then proceeded to sleep right past the blaring of the alarm. I could have very easily become upset with myself in a mentally self-abusive way--but I didn't. Did I miss Yoga class? Yes. Was I disappointed in myself? Sure. Did I need the rest? Apparently so.

I'm not the best at keeping a steady schedule. This is why I typically don't have workout buddies. I go solo, on my sometimes unique schedule. I do have some desire to become more disciplined with a schedule, however, my level of desire obviously hasn't reached the point of changing things.

Not that what I'm doing isn't good. I must acknowledge that what I've been doing is working very well. I do recognize areas in need of improvement. But I'm being careful not to twist it into some kind of mentally self-abusive thing--without it becoming a pass--or a rationalization for poor choices. And that's a challenge.

I cooked well today. I've been eating out a little less lately. It hasn't been totally intentional or a top of mind type thing--but certainly something running in my subconscious. I prefer the control of cooking at home. I know what's in my food. I can weigh and measure. I can get creative. It's fun putting together a plate that looks great, is delicious--and reasonably fits into my food plan and calorie budget.

I caught up on a few outstanding email replies and blog comment replies this evening. If you have any questions, I'll gladly answer them! Just email me: transformation.road@gmail.com or ask questions in the comments section below. Sometimes I'll take a little while to reply--but I always reply.

The Feedjit live website traffic mapping application was recently discontinued by Feedjit. I removed it from the blog side-bar. I miss it! I've always found it fascinating, perhaps because I've never traveled outside of the United States. Seeing those little red dots pop up all over the globe was always a wonderful reminder of the community, the togetherness we have along this road. One of my dreams is to travel one day, all over--to see the world. I suppose the map was a way for me to feel a little more traveled. I didn't physically visit those countries on the map, but my writing and sharing did--and continues to this day. I'm grateful for the support and I feel wonderfully blessed.
