Good Golly...I must be crazy...-ier!

I decided to do it...get back on track. Got up at 5 a.m. for my workout. I nearly finished it solo till E came out at 5:45. I told her this was mama's time and got her to crawl in with Daddy. I kept it light...yoga & strength training. I haven't been in the Wii since before Easter and felt really tired all the time, no matter how much rest I got. And the 4.4 pounds I lost 2 weeks after reading Paul McKenna's book is back on. I'm not getting stressed out about it, but I'm tired of feeling gross. I'm clearly not paying attention and am slipping back into the old patterns. Besides, I know it will make me feel better. Sometimes taking care of yourself feels like a chore, especially when you're time is filled with caring for your family. But this book made me feel like it was effortless.

I got some great motivation last night. Hil came over for supper and told me all about Hayley. When I met Hayley 10 years ago, I was so thrilled because I finally had a girl friend I could share clothes with. :) Hayley's been in Korea teaching English since last fall and she's lost 65 pounds! All by eating what they eat over there. She looks terrific! I'm so thrilled for her. Sometimes other people's success reminds you of your own failings. For me, I was able to look at it as something achieveable. She did it. Heck, I did it before...several times. I can do it again. The trick is to keep it off. And I think with this Paul's thinking, I can. Nothing's restricted, nothing's forbidden. It's just common sense and paying attention. Listening to what your body wants. And mine's telling me to quit yapping and get some lunch. So, I'm off. Get outside today. The sun's an amazing battery charger.
