Today's Matra

Good Morning!

Today's Mantra is "Stop Complaining!"

We've all been on the receiving side of someone who just won't
stop complaining, so you know what it feels like. You get
tired of hearing them!

But you've done the "dishing out" too.

You get anxious, depressed, angry, and just plain tired!

Complaining takes a lot of energy out of you, even on the
receiving end!

So imagine the energy it takes from YOU when YOU do the
complaining!

And what good does the complaining do? Does it solve anything?

Think about it. By the time we get done complaining, we could
have done/said something productive!

Remember to "stop the complaining" - TELL someone, politely,
that you just cannot listen to it.

and Stop Complaining yourself!

Notice how much better you feel!

I live my life according to the fact that thoughts become things. So why, on some days, is it so hard for me to wrap my brain around taking control of my thoughts. When I truly know that it is my thoughts that get me what I want and where I want. Dreary weather unmotivates me. I need to remotivate myself. I love Rachel Yamagata. Her voice is serene.

Revelation

Though I have fallen across this before. Sometimes, it's easy to forget the simplest things if we get caught up chaos. I choose how my life goes. It is up to me. My motivation is self produced. No excuses.

Let is S H I N E, girl.

I'm feeling detached from my loved ones lately. I am assuming it because of the Benedryl I have been living off of due to the severity of my allergies. No fun, at all. It puts me in a position where I feel there is not enough time in the day. Feeling this way through out the week is normal for me. It's only because Brian and I don't get to spend that much time together really. But after the weekend comes, I always feel better. So I am looking forward to that.

I am aiming for a smaller goal regarding my weight loss. I still have a larger goal in mind. However it is easier for me to put how I eat and exercise into perspective if I look at it on a smaller scale. So I am aiming for 2 pounds a week. If I do 2 lbs a week, I will be at my goal by mid July! And that excites me :)

Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain

For some reason I don't like eve numbers when I write, in art, or anything I am creating really, not too sure why? It is P O U R I N G today. I love it. I enjoy the rain when it doesn't last for a week. When it comes in spurts it pleases me. I was going to take a picture, but I need new camera batteries :( So here is an internet photo for you.

Go splash in some puddles. Avoid the lightening.

I've slipped a bit on my weight loss journey. Gained 2 lbs according to the doctor Tuesday. But which scale am I REALLY suppose to trust?! I'm going to ignore my weight gain and keep on truckin. I am re-inspired and ready to get this sexy show back on the road. My bathing suit is getting closer and closer to needing to be worn. And my body is in no shape for it at all. My goal weight is 150. Right now, according to the doctor I am at 174, sadly. BUT I am committed and I know that if I keep to my word, other opportunities will become present to me.

I am suppose to meet with the music man later next week to sing for him and try and get a band going. I am super nervous, but also super excited. I love to sing and over coming my fear of singing in front of people will be awesome. I just need to work on my timing and ignore my fear. Learning how to play guitar is still on my mind. I need someone to help teach me. My mom informed me the other day that she took lessons when she was younger and she wants to start playing again, so maybe that will turn into something. Who knows, Mama might be able to show me a thing or two?!

Wrap it up!

I feel like complaining. Just for a paragraph, don't worry! My throat hurts, I woke up late this morning, I feel unmotivated most likely because my body feels sick, I didn't get to see Max this weekend when he came into town :( MY house is still messy, I didn't complete any craft projects this weekend, Jack is bad sometimes, I worry intensely about my mother. I've been neglecting my father and I just can't seem to get enough sleep. Okay I am done.

I have so many things that I want to do around my house, craft/decorating projects and what not. But most of the time, I get so excited about EVERYTHING I want to, I spaz out and just get a little done of each and then I really feel like I got no where. So in the future, I think I am just going to pick one project at a time and complete that before I start another. Then, maybe, just maybe I will feel like I got somewhere.

I want to plan a vacation for Brian and I. Something simple and cheap near the water. I'm looking into this.

I hope I feel better soon.
