Hello everyone thanks for the great comments, I really appreciate your feedback. I agree with Diana I don't really like Conda she comes across as controlling and bossy. It felt so good so share with all of you how I have been struggling and the steps I am trying to take to get back on track and to basically find good healthy habits and a good groove. I was looking at my posts and during the time that I was struggling in Feb I hardly posted...I guess I didn't want to share what was happening that made me turn to high carb food (mostly the initial stress about putting an offer on the house....fyi we still haven't heard anything new) Any way I should have been sharing more because this community is so helpful, being able to share involves success and struggles.
Anyway I want to let you guys know that I appreciate your constructive criticism, I am really helped by your honest insights. So please feel free to offer your insights and don't worry about offending me. Helen, your comment was great and I appreciated your take. Tonight I heard something that made me think of our blog community...we can't see the blind spots in our lives, and we need others to point them out for us. So, friends please help me to see my blind spots, because I want to reach my goals of being overall healthy but also having a strong core that has minimal belly fat.
On a different note I am also excited to be able to wear sandals again :) I also found a zumba class through the parks dept that fits into my work schedule...Yay! Last night was my first time and I loved it. I got a better workout from the class than I do at home when I do it by myself. No wonder zumba is so popular it's fun and you don't feel like you are working out.
I hope you hear something on the house soon! Well, what do you think your blind spots, or difficult spots, are? They are probably the areas that you try to ignore or look past so that you really don't think much about them, or deal with them. I really like that Rosalie always harps on not emotionally eating because a lot of people do that. Are you an emotional eater? Maybe you really need to work on listening to your body's hunger cues??? If so, there's a book called Intuitive Eating that you might want to read. I haven't read this yet, but I did read a book along time ago that about the same concept, but I can't remember the name of it. This looks just as good though.

I know I put too much value in how food makes me feel. It is something I need to constantly work on. Good luck in April!
ReplyDeleteWho was your instructor? My FAVORITE teaches for Parks and Rec. Her name is Alicia and she is amazing. I am so glad that you got to go to a class! It is FUN!!! As I say that, I did not go this morning because of the crappy snow:( So much for our sandals.
ReplyDeleteI really think we all do better when BFC is forefront in our minds. Blogging, reading the blogs, getting inspired...they all go together.
This snow really puts a damper on my mood:(
Have a great day and I am glad that you are going to blog more again. I hope you hear on your house soon too!
That's why I always post no matter how I feel or whats going on. I think it really helps to share with everyone, because there is always someone that says they are going thru the same thing. Short sales take a long time so you might not hear for a while.
ReplyDeleteJust keep trying and you will get your groove on :-)
An exercise that fits into your schedule, doesn't feel like exercise and is FUN! Fantastic, now THAT sounds like my favorite kind of exercise,lol. Sounds very doable to me. I hope you will have a blast Katie! Wishing you the very best, always. (())s to you kiddo.
ReplyDelete...buying a house is stress-filled. To keep living while were waiting for life to happen is a challenge? I'm glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI may have to try that Zumba one of these days. Everyone seems to like it, but I'm so uncoordinated when it come to any kind of dance routine. Short sales do take forever, but they are such good deals! Fingers still crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope things work out for you both on the house offer, that has to be stressful. You wont find any criticism from this gal. We all have our low moments that is just life and for some of us we turn to food. Glad we have our blogging community because we all understand how hard it is to lose weight.
