Simply Saturday. A good start to the weekend!!

It is a little after 9 am here in North Idaho and I have had breakfast, cooked an omelet for my hubby and finished 45 minutes on the elliptical. The scale read 205.6 this morning. However, just in case you wanted to know I actually weigh 180 lbs!!! I've just logged my breakfast and exercise and after writing this journal I'll shower and we'll go out for the day. We still don't know what we are doing but we are determined to have fun!

It is going to be a warm weekend. In the 90's both days. So weird that our warmest weather of the season has been this month. I know fall is around the corner because there are already leaves on the ground. There is a slight change in the color of the trees too. I love fall. It is one of my favorite seasons.

I am continuing to read Maximum Achievement, though I didn't read last night. We watched 2 episodes of The Glades and we were both super tired. Even though it was a shortened work week due to Labor Day we were both pretty tired. Woke up early, 6:15 or so ... but since I typically get up before 4 am it was still sleeping in! Woke up several times during the night but was able to quickly get back to sleep so I feel rested.

I am strong and tall.
I am long and lean.
I weigh 180 lbs.
I am a non-smoker.
I crave healthy foods.
I am satisfied with healthy foods.
I take care of myself.
I am kind to myself.
I earn $100,000.00 a year.
I am organized and efficient.
I like myself!
I am beautiful.
I am desirable.
I am worth it.
I sleep well.
Health and harmony reign throughout my mind and my body.
The training workshops I offer have waiting lists for registration.
People pay me for my expertise in infant mental health and relationship-based work.
I write books.
I am financially stable.
I have a foundation called "Acts of Random Kindness."
I am lovable.
I am self employed.
All the clothes in my closet fit me.
Some of the clothes in my closet are too big for me.
My skinny jeans zip up easily.
I own a vacation home overseas.

And so it goes. Continuing this journey, excited, feeling good, self condemnation doesn't have any room in my brain. Replacing "negative" thoughts with "positive" ones ... giving myself permission to visualize, act "as if", and not feel crazy!! LOL!!! It feels good. I smile more. I smile at silly things. I will carry on.

I hope y'all don't get bored with my journal entries. I'm not saying I'll never have a challenging day because I know those will come. I'm just trying a different approach. I am trying to implement, in a deeper way, things that I already know, things I have been doing with clients for years but for some unknown reason never realized I needed myself. This is simply another way for me to practice kindness to myself. I am worth it. We all are!!!

Have a wonderful weekend dear friends!!
