OWiS #31

Saturday, July 31st 2010

Dear Body,

Wow 7 months you’ve been doing this. Can you believe it? I know sometimes I look in the mirror and I have a hard time liking what I see looking back but can I just say you are amazing. You get up every morning and you move with purpose. You’re sore and tired and most days you just want to swim in a vat of ice cream. Every morning you stretch the soreness away and think “I’ll sleep later” and then you decide how you’re going to kick ass for the day. Every thing you do you do...

The case of the missing mojo...

Friday, July 30th 2010

A week ago I announced that I lost my mojo. I’ve been feeling pretty negative in this portion of my journey. I’ve thought a lot about why, when I should be dancing naked in the streets proclaiming my admission into the Onederland club, am I constantly looking in the mirror and not liking what I’m seeing.

Fear is the answer to that why.

I feel like my posts lately have been about how “bad” I’m feeling about myself and how unmotivated I am to keep up with this journey. Is it because I hit Onederland and am (insert any emotion) about staying under 200? Is this my sabotage weight?

Brick wall...

Thursday, July 22nd 2010

"When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable" ~ Walt Disney

I write that quote first thing because I am living with some serious mental blockage. You'd think after being on this journey for almost 7 months the proverbial brick wall would be coming down but I woke up this morning feeling like someone added another layer to it.

As my body changes shape (getting thinner) and I start to notice more muscles coming through (getting stronger...

Today's topic: butter

Wednesday, July 21st 2010

Now that life has become some what unstable (oh remind me to write about stable vs. unstable soon) I'm finding myself outside of the home a lot. I'm not really doing too much, just trying to stay out of the house where negative images of being unemployed lead to sitting around the house feeling sorry for myself which then lead to lethargicness and finally defeat.

Since I'm only interested in winning this battle called Life, I take the extra time to spend it outdoors at different places. So...
