Running On Empty





Today, I am running on empty.  I just don't fee like "me."  I am in a total funk.  That's the only way that I can describe how I am feeling.  Maybe you can relate.  Maybe you can't, but that's where I am.
 
I know that I ran myself ragged over vacation.  We never stopped "going."  Vacation was fantastic.  It was great to step away from everyday life for a few days, and just enjoy ourselves.  I came back with my brain feeling renewed!  The break was good for me.  I have just been out of it, physically, since we got back.  This has been going on for almost a week now.  Excuse the terminology, but my ass is dragging!
 
I know that I'm tired.  I don't feel like I will ever catch up with rest.  My motivation for pretty much everything is gone, for the time being.  I really don't feel like writing this blog, but I feel that these feelings, may be worth capturing.  As far as exercise goes, I just can't seem to force myself to do anything - not even a walk around the block.  My mind is telling me that it just takes too much effort.
 
I am staying on track, as far as food goes.  I'm tracking and doing what I am supposed to do, and the scale does reflect that.  At least I haven't lost that motivation.
 
So, is it coming back to reality that has really brought me down?  Is it the fact that I did more in four days than I usually do in two weeks?  Am I getting lazy, and getting complacent?  Or do I just need a swift kick in the butt!  I guess that only time will tell.


Always remember – YOU ARE AMAZING!  Go out and make it a great day!

Today There's Sunshine In My Soul

I love sunshine!  I'm sure that most of us do.  It makes me feel happy and good inside!  With our weird winter/spring, many of us may not have seen much sunshine lately!  Dreary weather can dampen spirits and moods.  It doesn't have to be that way! It doesn't matter if it is sunny, or rainy.  It doesn't matter if it is hot or cold.  WE can be the sunshine in someone's day!  We can lift someone's spirits when they are down!  It doesn't take much effort to g ive someone a sincere compliment, or to give someone a helping hand.  You never know what someone is going through.  Simply give someone a smile!  It might just put them in a better mood, or take their sadness away.  We can be the difference in someone's day!   Help spread some sunshine around! Today there's sunshine in my soul!  Is there sunshine in yours?  **If you like this post, please feel free to share it, or to share the link to the blog!  It is with your help that I may r

What Lies Within Us

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson   I am a firm believer that most people do not realize how strong they are until they have a circumstance in which they have no choice but to be strong.  At that time, people do begin to recognize their strength. What characteristics and traits to you believe lie within you?  Are you strong?  Are you determined?  Are you persistent?  Are you detail-oriented?  Are you confident?   All of these things are characteristics that will allow you to succeed in any task that you wish to take on.  Once you begin working toward you goals, others will see these characteristics in you.  All of us have at least a little bit of these characteristics within us.  Maybe our self-esteem is a little bit lower than it should be.  Maybe we struggle to improve ourselves in these areas.  By setting goals and working toward them, we discover that we do have these charact

Celebrate Your Wins

Celebrations are so much fun!  There are not enough celebrations in our lives!  Only we can change this! We each have big goals that will take a while to accomplish.  What we need to think about, is that we accomplish smaller goals every day, that lead us to accomplishing our main goal.  Did you eat better today?  Did you drink more water?  Did you take more steps?  Did you weigh in, and the number on the scale go down?  Did you fit into a smaller size in clothes?  Did you feel good today?  Did you like the person that you saw in the mirror?  Were you proud of yourself today? Those are only a few examples of ways that we win each day!  Celebrate your wins!  Be proud!  Post them for others to see!  Congratulate others on their wins!  Celebrating these wins will make our goals seem attainable!  Celebrating with others has a positive impact, for them, but also, for yourself! Take time to celebrate every day!  Celebrate your wins!  Celebrate yourself! **If you like this post,
