Adding to My List..

Going through your unanswered messages on your email is something no one wants to go through, at least this is how I feel, and why I had over a thousand messages. I am going to take ten minutes every other day to clear my email account. 

Cleaning out my email is going to be adding to my list of things I need to do. It doesn’t matter if your list is in your head, written on posted notes, or in a book you check off as you go.

Having a list of things you do on a daily basis and having a list of things you want to do can help you stay on track on getting everything done. 

I wonder if I am the only one who likes to have a list of things I want to do and things I would like to do?

Unheard Words…

I had to yell at myself, (in my head of course) “SHUT UP!” and just keep my word. I said I wasn’t going to offer a ride on my bus service to anyone who doesn’t appreciate it. I answered a simple question and did not give the reply that reply that would normally follow.

I was feeling bad, like I was wrong in not offering my help, but then I remember the complaints. The manipulation of getting a ride that wasn’t offered. I just smiled and kept my mouth shut.

I didn’t give a reason, because I wasn’t asked. I don’t want to open a can of worms unless I have too. If asked I will be respectful and hope we could still be friends. If there is an apology, maybe I would try again, but that is a Big “IF?”

In the end if someone is doing something for you, you should be grateful, and hold back your complaints.

A Two for One…

I started an app called noom vibe. It’s an app that will help me get back to the person I used to be. I realized I needed help, a good motivation to help me keep moving. It’s hard when you are alone in the physical world, but I know my Lord Jesus is with me every step, every breath, He is in everything I do. Through Him I will overcome everything that is in my way….

I know I should be drinking more water and eating better. I am going to make sure I rearrange how I think. I eat on how I am feeling. At first I tell myself I am going to eat a little at a time, because I don’t want to give up on food I like, and have been eating for years. That doesn’t always work, because it’s hard to stop eating good food. I was more active a few days (years) ago and could eat anything.

I was told by my doctor I need to add more vitamins to my diet. I know vitamins are good, but I am so over taking pills. There has to be another way?

I like the idea of a two for one. I can go for a thirty minute walk (or longer if I am talking to someone or into my music) and get some vitamin D (don’t forget the sunscreen) as I burn off a few calories.

A Happy Surprise….

I signed up for a free app called, “noom vibe,” and so far it’s helping me keep my word. It’s an app that helps you lose weight. You don’t have to do it alone, rather it’s with family or friends or friends online. 

I have never liked drinking water and today was the first time I ever drank six cups of water, as was suggested by this app. I may only be able to do this when I am at home, but I am proud of myself for doing it.

I noticed one thing today? I rather drank warm water. One would think I was boiling water for tea all day, but they would have been wrong. I meant to add some lemon in one of these cups. 

I once told my doctor I was drinking water with lemon in it and my eyes opened when she asked, “why”? I couldn’t believe I had to tell her lemons are good for vitamin C.  I am laughing. I didn’t bother to tell her I was also drinking: lemon, ginger and turmeric powder at least twice a week. Oh, I almost forgot the black pepper. I either do a shot or add some hot water for tea. I will add an article that can say more on how good this taggy drink is for you..

I went for a walk earlier, one short workout, and I want to do one more before it gets too dark. I had to stop looking at the big picture, because there wasn’t any motivation. That picture actually stopped me from wanting to move forward.

One has to start from the beginning before one can get to the end. I am smiling, because I know I can reach my goal. I never thought I would drink so much water, workout more than once a day, or even sit down long enough to do some meditation.

Oh before I forget. On this enjoyable app there is, “fiton” and they give you a list of things you can do at all levels. If you have Roku you can also add it to your TV

For a better view.  Have fun for a better you.
