100 days left

I just received an email from Mark Victor Hansen that said that September 22 is a very important day.  It is the 100 day mark.  There are 100 days left to the end of 2008.  Wow that sure means it is time to get serious.  Think about about your goals for 2008.  How are you [...]

Journeying On

I am back to report in and write a bit about my journey of late. I have continued on the Transitions program, and at the last check in had lost about 14 pounds. I have learned some good things in the process, too - things that echo totally what Carol wrote about what makes [...]

The joys of Monday

For many who work normal 9a-5pm jobs, Mondays are days they groan about having to go back to work. The weekend is over and the serious stuff begins again.  For me, since I work Saturdays seeing clients, I try to make Mondays a day off.  Sometimes I don’t succeed and I’ll schedule a speech or [...]

Commitment

I’m at a place with my food program and working with the nutritionist where I really need to decide how committed I am to signing up for more sessions. The last few weeks, I have been up and down with following the program which means I have been paying for assistance and not following [...]

Looking at progress

There are days you feel stuck, like you haven’t made any progress toward your goal.  I feel this way today because I’m having a hard time exercising at anything beyond a stroll due to allergy problems compounded by a cold.  I also haven’t been as strict with my eating program as I was at the start [...]

Working with where I am and today that isn’t much!

This has been a challenging spring for me. I’m recovering from my third cold or flu. I’m finding it rather funny that I have been eating better than I have in years but my immune system seems less able to fight off the various bugs that I’m coming in contact with. I’ve [...]

I’m Baaaak - Update on Transitions Plan

Lately, I have abandoned my friend Carol here on the web island of Live Well Stress Less. (Sounds like just the place we all want to be!).  In any case, it’s no fun to be left alone, and it hasnt been fun to realize my time has gotten so crunched that I have let go the [...]

Relationship with the scale

There are days when I feel like I’ve gotten in the groove of healthy eating and other days when I feel like I’ll never have it down.  I know you can only make changes one day at a time and I fully admit some days are a heck of a lot easier than others.
I’m really [...]

These are not bad decisions to have to make

I’m dealing with laundry that has been in a pile–clean clothes that I intended to iron but didn’t and I realized that many of the clothes in this pile are now too big for me!  So here’s the decision–give them away or alter them?  Alter them now so that I have clothes to wear that [...]

My Transitions - the new “lifestyle plan”

Aren’t we all always in one or another.  Today I’m updating on the Transitions program Cari and I have been doing.  Last week we had our 3 week weigh/measure check in.  Lo and behold!  Cari lost about 7 pounds and 6 inches, and I lost nearly 5 and about the same on inches. 
“How weird [...]
