Day 31

I hate to be redundant, but this weather is killing me.  It is yet another day of dark and dreary skies. It really puts me in a funky mood. I got the dreaded call today, that I didnt get the job. It’s ok, I mean it’s in a field I dont really like, but …So today, I worked on marketing my Reiki. Sent out a few introduction letters to a few local businesses. Will see where that leads me. I have a yoga class on Saturday morning, and a Reiki refresher on Sun and Mon.  This sounds like the life I want to live, yet there is no paycheck.  Not that money is everything, but having an income kinda does play a factor in all this.  I refuse to give up. I was thinking today, before I started the marketing thing w/ the Reiki. Why am I concentrating on jobs I really dont want. I should be focusing my energies on the career I do want. So it was a good day, a lot of soul searching.  The diet/weight loss/lifestyle change- is as part of my life now like brushing my teeth. I am grateful for that, as it would have been a bummer to have eaten my way thru my stress today. I ate as I should have, still following my calories, as before. The exercise comes and goes. The weather lately, has me lazy and lethargic.Tomorrow is weigh in day- I do believe I am on track for the 2 lbs a week, but I will be more certain tomorrow. I am happy with the progress to date. Would I love the instant gratification of dropping more- YEAH, but I know this way is best. It gives my body time to adjust, it gives my brain time to learn the proper way to do this.I have been eating a lot of sweet potatoes-  baked chicken. We had steak last night-rib eye- it was quite tasty. Lots of veggies at dinner, but need to up the veggies during the day. I have also been drinking a lot of tea. Yogi brand tea’s are no caffeine and a big selection to choose from. A little pricey but very tasty!!Well, back to brainstorming for the reiki. If anyone has any idea’s, I am listening. I am now sending out letters to spa’s and hair salons. They offer massage, why not Reiki, right? Also, Reiki is great to include in a package- for Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Wedding pkg’s. That’s where my brain led me today. Will keep you posted.Oh, I also received an email today from a Yoga studio offering me 1/2 off the fee’s for teacher training. I am waiting on one other, then I will have to decide which one is best suited for me.  See, that’s what I’m saying, everything I want to do is screaming at me, while I had been putting my energies into things/places I didn’t want. Go figure!
