Monday, Jun 23 2014 - AH-HA Moment
View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
Usually Mondays are very rough on me; this morning was very different, I woke up full of energy and no major issues at work either (knock on wood). Something definitely changed or clicked this weekend and I feel different
good different. The scale is up another 4oz but I still think it is water weight because my water intake has been lower than usual and I usually do retain water. I just dont care
I mean I CARE but Im choosing not to obsess about it or let it upset me, it will come back down.
Tomorrow is my weigh-in and measurements with Elle and I cant help but wonder how many inches Ive lost. Tomorrow we begin TRX, Im filled with nervous excitement, nervous because I know how challenging it is and excited well for the same reason I guess.
If you dont know what TRX is here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gagl23KZs0U to see it on YouTube.
This morning a co-worker told me that I seem different, my demeanor has changed. I guess it has. I guess our state of mind is directly linked to our state of being and being that I am stronger, I feel stronger, I am moving more so I hurt less and therefore I feel better, because I feel better, I can focus better and with all of this I am just happier. I have always tried to be a positive person but my truth is...I may not have always been 100% positive, I used to have a short fuse, let everything get to me, spent way too many extra hours at work, preventing me from shutting it off, so I brought my work stress home and was always stressed out. So much so that I was constantly getting sick to the point my primary doctor was starting to think it was the stress in my life was making me sick if it continued, he was sending me for a stress test.
This is all like an AH-HA moment for me. Ive been putting in 8 to 8 ½ hours daily rather than the usual 10-12hr days over the last month and I feel so much better. I think because Im walking away, my mind is clearer to tackle the tasks I was staying late to complete. My job hasnt changed, its still as stressful as ever, even more so lately, what has changed is the way I deal with it and that I am putting me over the job. WOW!!! You have no idea how powerful this statement is for me.
I think Im finding inner peace and it feels REALLY GOOD!
The quote that spoke to me today
The greatest revelation of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
