I just wanted to document I was under my calories again. I am eating thru the day. Never hungry. I’m worried I might be too low and this will hinder my weight loss. Who would have thought I would be in a position that I need to eat more? I had lasagna for dinner w/ bread and butter. Go figure. And an ice cream sandwich for dessert. I have 300+ calories left over.  My carb % is the highest, then protein, then fat most days. The fat % I really have to watch what I eat. The cheese was really putting me in a back % position. I will eat it sparingly.I am definitely calorie shifting, and by accident. Will see how next weeks scale reads, and go from there.    Can anyone tell me how soon after I get up in the morning, should I eat? Is there any proof eating first thing gets or keeps the metabolism going? The reason I ask is I usually don’t eat til 10-10:30am  and then lunch around 1pm- ish. Sometimes skipping the morning snack. Ok, well enough on the computer today. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by. 

Just a quick note to say I had an incredible day. I made a new friend today. She and I share so much in common, it’s crazy. We chatted for hours, shared our stories, and a new friendship. It amazes me the connections we can make when we dont even try. Life is the unknown. I learned today that I dont need to plan so much. That things, people, jobs, weight… it all will happen when the individual is ready. Today I am grateful for the people in my life, those in the past, those now, and those to come.  As I grow as a person, so do my surroundings. I welcome this now, and today have a certain calmness I didnt have yesterday.  I have to ask myself, what do I really control? I answer, very little. I am open to what is brought in front of me, and contemplate each scenerio, as it unfolds.I must have sent out 20 resumes today. I was in a Panic over money. What if this, what if that. I then put out that I wanted to start my Reiki practice. That is what I want. Many of you had great idea’s , supportive comments. I later received an email from my Reiki master.  My belief is, I will have my dream. I have to hold on to it, and not let anything detour me.  I have to every day make an effort to see it thru. I am rambling, but felt it important to get this in here.  My life changed today. I see my business clearer than ever before. To all of you who shared with me, Thank You! 

Good morning. After yesterdays successful weigh loss, I feel more confident than ever to keep on the straight and narrow.  I ended my day yesterday with a Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwich( 140 cals) , and just over 1000 calories for the day, and I ate. I will count that as the lowest I would ever go, and I honestly wasn’t aiming for such a low #.  I almost felt like I should eat something, but the hunger just wasn’t there. I do believe drinking lots of water helps. I watched Biggest Loser last night and am always surprised at the intensity of their workouts. I really wonder if that is absolutely necessary. I think it’s great to know your limits, but….  Also, it is TV, they need the drama to keep us tuned in.The job hunting is going ok. I heard back from the one I previously mentioned, but the pay in minimal and I have some time to keep my eyes open. My ultimate goal is to have my own Reiki practice, but finding clients is tough. I don’t even know where to begin.  I am also presently studying EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique.  My plan is to offer both in my practice. I have a limited amount of friends, and just want to get my name out there. I was thinking of a business announcement in the newspaper. I had business cards made up. I own a massage table. I’m certified. I’m ready to roll, with no clients.  So, if anyone reading this has any suggestions, I would love and appreciate them. Well, I’ll be back in a bit.  Have a great day everyone!
