feedmysoul

I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future.

Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me.

It is time to feed my soul not my body.

. : About me : .

Name::michelle
From::victoria, Australia
I am a mother of 3 almost grown children working full time in our own business. I used to also do a lot of voluntary work. I am an ex secondary school teacher. I have been overweight for the past ten years and have reached a stage in my life where I don't want to put up with it anymore. I have been so busy being wife, mother, boss, helper that I seem to have lost myself. Coping with one crisis after another without complaining but always turning to food for comfort. I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future. Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me. It is time to feed my soul not my body.

TAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS

Last few weeks have been very stressful with some serious health issues. Added to that stress at work and the dreadfully cold winter and motivation has been frequently lacking. However this morning the sun was shining and I took the time to visit my garden and that made me feel better. Spring is just a round the corner and I needed to remind myself to count the good things in life not dwell on the bad. I am going to try to take a few minutes each day to appreciate some of the good things in my life. Yesterday I played tennis. I have not played for 3 weeks and had no exercise at all for 8 days due to the flu. It felt wonderful to be exercising again even though I was surprised to find today that I am a little sore from it. Amazing what having a week off from exercise does. I am looking forward to getting back into some regular exercise each day. As far as eating goes that has also been all over the place but I am being exceptionally good this week and it definitely helps me feel better. Hope everyone is having a good week and especially Jodie who has only 1 week to go. How exciting and definitely a reminder of what life is all about.
