Survival
Has it really been since November 08 that I posted? Ha! I know why — I survived. Survived what? Here’s the rundown:
1. Two birthdays
2. Thanksgiving
3. Christmas
4. New Years
You can see it’s hard to lose weight during the festive times, or at least I was thinking that. I didn’t mean to be away for this long. But I must confess, I had such a wonderful January, that I actually got back into the grove tho I didn’t post it. I am going to rename this post from “Reducing Without Struggle” to an even newer mindset — Reducing Effortlessly. Don’t know why I didn’t see it before, but I continued to put struggle in my slug. Silly, it seems.
January brought two new friends and one who I will mention right here. Joan Packard. OMG, I met her in Pasadena, California and she’s the greatest. She admonished me to stop calling myself an old woman and I listen to her. She’s right. Trust me, she claims to be 73, but looks 56! Giggles under the covers and lots of conversations, visit her at www.joanpackard.com and you’ll see what I mean. Anyway, aside from the most awesome experience at T. Harv Eker’s Life Directions Intensive, which is where I met Joan and got to visit with my dear cousin Ruth Mutti (www.twitter.com/ruthmutti) and her son Mark Mutti (www.shoutdrive.com), I also became acquainted with The Paleo Diet in January from a friend at work. I believe that and my Life Direction’s commitment to get a personal trainer and become consistent with my exercising has net the direct result of losing 5 lbs in the last two weeks — ahem — effortlessly!
I’m so thrilled. I will continue to blog, if only for myself, and report my progress and document in details my life direction. See me for quick blurbs on www.twitter.com/dianebishop
