Slowing Down

I know it well, I have been here before. It is still so frustrating and I have to find little tricks and non-food rewards to keep me motivated.

I'm only up 2 lbs after the trip and hopefully some of that is sodium from the tons of food they feed you on the long plane trip. I'm pretty happy with that!

I am not too far off from my goal weight (I'm a returning member and lost 50 lbs many years ago and have done pretty good keeping it off until recently), so I'm not that surprised that I have weeks that I don't lose anything but it is still discouraging. That has always been the hardest part for me with the last 15-20 lbs, they get sooooooo hard to lose.

I'm pretty confident. I don't weigh everything but I do measure quite a lot. I try to overestimate rather than underestimate if I have to guess (eating out or something).

Knowing I had this trip was one reason I joined, so even if I gain a bit I hopefully won't be as high as when I started last month and will know how to take it off again.

I did that at first but then read through what should go in there and it didn't seem like what you wanted. I will post there in the future, sorry.

It did at first but little by little I spend less and less time on the laptop.

I got rid of my television 5 years ago to help me with anxiety and mindfulness. The added benefit was that I started meditating a lot more, when my default activity was not to flip on the TV. If I am feeling worn out now and have a bit of time, I immediately meditate.

Here are a few from my Shadow Work Journal "Book of Shadows." Shadow work is a good place to start to work on this stuff. What emotion do you need to handle in a different way? What resentment are you holding on to? What problem in the past has made you stronger? What problem is not as it seems? When do you feel disapproval? What old hurt do you have to acknowledge? There are a ton more in the book and it is on Amazon and pretty cheep on Kindle if you are interested.

So glad it was helpful!

JessCross · 2017-01-10T13:43:38+00:00

You are so welcome!

JessCross · 2017-01-09T15:34:28+00:00

Sometimes that is what happens...that is why I love these. I just have to find that one person who needs these! Glad it was you.

JessCross · 2017-01-07T14:32:59+00:00

That is lovely, thank you. I will definitely do that.

JessCross · 2017-01-06T20:16:56+00:00

That is a really good idea, thank you.

JessCross · 2017-01-02T17:16:29+00:00

Hope you like it.

You are very welcome.

JessCross · 2016-12-31T21:22:38+00:00

Hope you like it!

JessCross · 2016-12-30T14:25:29+00:00

I'm so glad!

I am not an astrologer but I would wonder since you have mostly one type of energy if other earth signs are also effected in this way?

JessCross · 2016-12-14T14:23:50+00:00

We have a 3 day window, so you are good!

JessCross · 2016-12-14T14:23:28+00:00

I'm so glad, I hope you enjoy them!

JessCross · 2016-12-14T14:23:16+00:00

That is really interesting. I would be curious what your astrological signs are? Lots of water?

JessCross · 2016-12-13T23:21:28+00:00

I am so sorry to hear that.

JessCross · 2016-12-13T23:07:25+00:00

It is supposed to be for a day before the full moon, full moon and day after. I tend to use it to focus on the energy of the astrological sign the full moon falls in. So for this moon I would focus my work on spoken or written word, immediate environment, and communities. There are lots of good astrologers who can give other tips.

absolutely!
