156.6 (-.2)
It's Friday and I'm hungry! I am so depleted by the end of the week and need a 'refeed' so bad! Weight is inching down at a snails pace. I went on a walk today and had a revelation of sorts -- I'm officially commencing 'Project Be Nice to Me and 'The Others'. This means to stop judging and being critical and mean to myself and to others. Some acceptance of self and others is in order. I was thinking about when I was in a good place the last time and I think I was at my best mentally (or one of my best times) when I did yoga daily. There is something about yoga that makes you go inside and be present with your body, mind and breath. It doesn't happen overnight but after consistent practice.
Staying 'present, pleasant and positive' is such a challenge for me lately. I am having a hard time staying there myself and then when you add other people's 'unawareness' and 'pain bodies' into the mix it just sets me off course almost immediately. It's like being pushed off of a balance beam that is hard enough to stay on just with myself let alone when people ('The Others') distract me -- or rather I let myself get distracted by them.
My goal for the remainder of October is to practice yoga DAILY, walk outside at least 15-30 minutes daily. I was contemplating starting Couch to 5K but I wonder if it would be better for me to be a bit gentler on myself - at least until I get my head in a better place.
