One Step at a Time

I know I have gained some weight, but I didn’t realize how much? I was walking and working out as much as I could, but once I started a full time job – I no longer had the extra time.

I was doing what I called the starvation diet, because my doctor had me to fast between 5am to 5pm. I have talked to a few people who said it worked for them, and how I shouldn’t give up on it. They even said the longer I do this less eating I will get used to it.

They didn’t have to tell me how tired it made them feel or leave you in a bad mood, because you are hungry. I found myself eating more candy, because I was trying not to get anything to eat.

I also realized I ate twice as much as I did before once I got home. I was eating beyond just being hungry. I cannot stand where I work and the people I am forced to work with  and I am sure that is why I am over eating.

I don’t know or like the person I see looking back at me through the mirror.  I don’t recall how I got here, but I am working on bringing back the person I used to be. I know I have to take one step at a time before I can see her once again.

I am working on being a better me both mind and body. I am already setting my dreams free by writing and creating new crochet projects and I am happy. Life is way too short to do anything less.

The Right Creamer…

Coffee….

A Day without Coffee…..

Introduction

I do not know why I thought I could start my day without a cup of coffee and not get a headache.  It has been a long time since I walked out of my front door before drinking my favorite beverage. 

I ran out of coffee creamer. There was French vanilla creamer in the fridge, but if it’s not vanilla ice cream I do not want it. Vanilla will never lighten my coffee cup. Yes, I tried it once and once was enough.

Today was the first time I ever had two cups of coffee after 7am, after I got back from Walmart, with three bottles of my favorite coffee creamer. 

MMMMMMMMM Coffee was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO So GOOD!

Well, now I can really start my day.

Day 1…

I am rethinking how I am going to get to the beach and how I am going to improve my life. I am done waiting for a miracle, because miracles cannot happen without work or faith. 

 Matthew 13:58 NIV   And he did not do many miracles there, because of their lack of faith.  https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.13.58.NIV

I knew what I had to do to get where I wanted, but was unsure on how to get there. I thought if I talked to others who said they could and would help me it would be a good idea. In the end that was a shortcut and if you think taking a shortcut will help you win? Nope, you may not even cross the finish line.

Proverbs 21:5 NIV The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.  https://bible.com/bible/111/pro.21.5.NIV 

I had to go back to knowing who I am. It’s not that I don’t want to trust people, but some just don’t want you to get ahead of them. I may not be where I want to be, but then again everyone has to start at day 1 before they get to where I want to be. 

Psalms 17:5 NIV My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled.  https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.17.5.NIV

It’s time I get back to working on my book as well as keeping up with my crochet projects.

It’s time to watch your ideas grow.  Your ideas may start  slow and at time you may think it’s not going anywhere, but if you give up -they will never grow. It’s like a planet the more you give it water,  a little light, and handle it with care your planet will grow like all of your  Good ideas…..

The End..

A Little Goes a Long Way..

What do you do when you have so many things you want to do, but there isn’t enough sunlight in one day to do them all? I no longer stress what I can and cannot do.  

I put what is important first and go from there. I knew I was going to finish my beige blanket and I did. I may have wanted to pick up some more yarn, because the idea of a new project always makes me smile.

I stayed focused and did the next thing on my list. That is all you can do. One thing at a time and you might be surprised that you actually finish everything you set out to do and if you can’t do it today? There is always another day to shine.

I am going to make sure I write (or type) something every day. I may not finish my thought, but at least I will get started. If I can sit for a few minutes, I can crochet a stitch or two. I know every stitch counts and every word type does the same…

Time to move on to the next thing on my list.
