"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." - Buddha
On my weight loss app, we have a daily message to help us stay inspired, and motivated and have power for ourselves. This one is today's. I think it speaks to a lot of the world right now. I know a few people who don't slow down enough to enjoy life, right now, in the moment they are in and see the beautiful things in everything! I have to admit also, I easily get distracted with the newest things, how to change what I have or not enjoy something because I am already looking at how it could be better...
So I am going to focus on the now... Really. Slow my brain and force myself to focus more on the now. Focus on things that are changing because of my plan to loose weight, focus on how my family is right now (which is pretty awesome!) and focus on the perfectness my life is right now!
Lots of things are changing about me right now especially! I am down 40 pounds (ok...39.8 pounds!) and still going strong! With that, obviously I am getting skinnier overall, but I am also noticing other differences. I no longer have hip and ankle pain, even though it was minor before, I wake up in the morning, not only sleeping on my stomach (because my body was too heavy for my own organs, and felt crushed any other way), but any way. I have way more energy on a whole, I am already in a size L/XL top and 14 bottoms (down from 2x and 22w!), I actually do have a chin, and jaw and collar bones! Incredible discoveries! Plus more, but you know I can't list em all! It really is hard to change and have it being in this direction! I feel bad for my husband a little, because I talk about it (how I change) ALL THE TIME! He tells me it's great, that if I wasn't excited he would really be worried! It's crazy exciting! I sure do wish I had the confidence and this plan earlier! I k ow. A still young and all, but still it has been painful to be big... I'm excited to never be that way again.
My family lately has been super awesome! I do feel a little weird being that I am not usually the one to change... I am not afraid to take charge of things and life in general, but I'm usually always the steady. Well to anymore! Now I am working on me, bettering me so my family can enjoy life together, healthier, happier and with more opportunities in life! My beautiful husband has job he LOVES, in a career he's always enjoyed, has hobbies that he loves to do with me and without me, and characteristics that I love in him evolving into an even better person! I love that man, and every piece of him, past, present and in the future! Now our daughter, man she is crazy adorable! Sure, she is a pain at times, but I love the special woman she is becoming. She has a great personality, full of humor, kindness, equality like no other 9 year old I know and the spunkiness of a clown! I love our little family of three and wouldn't change it for the world!
Ok enough mushy stuff! I have life to get too! Laters, baby!
