Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 21 May 2015

Yesterday I had a phone meeting with my health coach from work. I'm not positive but I think I may have caused her head to explode. My goal is 180. So she asks what I weigh. I have no clue. The scale is not in my focus right now. I'm focused more on what my body tells me than what the scale says. Hehehehehe She want's to know if I think I will reach 180 by the deadline. Um.. I think so.

Next she asks how the food tracking is going. I'm not. I stopped counting calories and fat and carbs and instead just eat healthy until I'm satisfied. WHAT?!?! lol Do I think I will reach my goal by deadline? Yeah I think so.

Exercise? Still exercising 5 days a week?? Nope. It was too stressful and not very enjoyable so I quit.. I will try to add it in if I can but I'm not stressing over it..

LMAO I swear I left the woman speechless. Then she tries to motivate me with a story about a guy that went vegan and he lost alot of weight. Oh I'm not going vegan.. I like bacon.. alot. Again.. speechless. She set up another meeting for 3 weeks.

I suppose I should have taken mercy on her and told her my clothes fit better and I was noticing differences but the whole "Don't worry man!" attitude was way more fun. Then last night I fell off the wagon and bought a bag of Reeeses and polished them off myself. I blame this on an expected quiet evening only to find out a soccer game was rescheduled, peanut is teething, little man was just plain being nasty, hubby was pissed the farm hand just didn't show up yesterday morning,... you name it.. it happened kinda night. This morning wasn't much better. There was alot of yelling. Alot of old habits. Not a single speck of zen. I got to work, ate a healthy breakfast, meditated, and.. all is zenful again. So a tiny slip in the awareness world but.. well.. that's life. I just need more practice and less health coach. Because well.. I'm Spiderman! Oh yeah!

Seriously - you are doing fine - just take it easy and tell the coach, yeah oh wow, dude! Hey if you really like bacon...Google the ketogenic approach. it is high fat and low carb, I am seldom hungry and dropping weight.

stress and lack of sleep pack on pounds(I should know lol). Just reducing your stress significantly helps. You are doing fine.

Those health coaches think I'm a bit nuts also! LOL!!! Love your comments! Mine told me I should use margarine (full of chemicals) instead of real butter! NOPE!! That I needed to use fat free cheese (full of other crap) NOPE!! couldn't believe my HDL was off their charts, way high, they couldn't even measure it. Too funny. I refuse to answer their phone calls. But I don't have too as my numbers were too good, so I still get my ins. discount. Grab some really high content cocoa chocolate spread a bit of natural peanut butter on it. Yummy and healthier for you. You also can't eat as much as the chocolate in reeses.

Somehow I can picture this conversation. Am also chuckling - not too much vegan about a dairy farm.

I get so excited reading about your new Zen lifestyle. I actually wrote as one of my New Year resolutions to "be more zen" and it looks like you're getting the hang of it!

I think you are doing fantastic. And everyone is different we all have to find our own way!

I'm liking your approach and have found myself paying more attention to each bite of food and less of trying to eat the "right" amounts of protein and carbs and fat. It is helping me to eat less in general. I have also decided to exercise regularly just because it makes me feel better in general and emotionally for completing it--NOT doing it to lose weight because frankly it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. I can see myself as the healthiest big girl ever. Keep on journaling cause you are inspirational--and fun--and wacky! Git er done!

Ohmigosh! Too funny - what a great way to end my day reading your journal. Glad you are Zenful again! Seriously though ... I really think you are on the right track - we can all learn so much from mindfulness practice.
