Saturday Morning

I spend my Saturday mornings in the company of a group of women. Recently, I have had mixed emotions about continuing on with this group. But I must share this. This morning a friend from the group told me how she and another really respected me for how I handled a certain situation. You don't know how good it made me feel. Hope has risen! I feel a bit better about the whole situation now.
You know, sometimes things appear worse than they are in actuality. Our minds tend to blow things out of proportion. I know mine does. One of my mantras that I try to remember is, "It's always 100 times worse in your head than it will actually be".
I'm sure I'm not alone with these types of thoughts. I have the hamster in my head running and running on the wheel. Sometimes he can't get off.


FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real
The mind is a very powerful tool. And it can play tricks on you. So I try to remember to stay in faith and not fear. When my mind starts racing off to never-never land, I try to use positive self-talk and affirmations such as these: It really doesn't matter; So what! I can handle it!; I allow my mind to relax and let go.

Now, totally off topic; I'm off to search for some pictures or websites about Greek Goddesses. Anyone know of a good site?

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes...

Post July 4th workout and update

Image
I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .
