Dream House

jachancellor1 Comment

Would you rather live in the city in the middle of everything or in the outskirts of town on a couple of acres of land?  No yard maintenance, or a field of gardens?

I love where I live, but I think I would love to be elsewhere.  Just dreaming of a place where people don’t park in our yard.  I told David that I would rather have a condo on the beach (downsize) with no maintenance, or a one story 4-5 bedroom house on five or six acres for a garden and chickens-not too far out of town, but enough to have land.  He wants a bigger house, but in town without a lot of yard.  Ugh.  He doesn’t like yard work, so you would think that he would enjoy a condo.  But.

This won’t happen any time soon, but it doesn’t hurt to dream a little.

Happy Saturday –blessings.

Back to the Habit

jachancellorLeave a comment

The scale is not going in the right direction lately.   Too much chocolate and cheetos! So back to the swing of things…

Habits…walking (treadmill), daily…again.

Eating better. Today.  Meal planning. I must do this.  I have to prep for the week, mainly for lunches, to be successful.  I need some new ideas for dinner.  Need to plan for those as well.  Plan to succeed.

So… what do you do to continue to be successful?  Do you meal plan? 

Blessings.

Morning Motivation 

jachancellorLeave a comment

This morning the alarm went off at 5:45 a.m., and I just laid in bed.  I didn’t want to get up, and thinking about walking- nope.  I haven’t been walking for the past week, and this morning I wasn’t “feeling” it.

I got my phone, and began the normal part of my morning routine of scrolling through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (still in bed).  One the the people I follow on Instagram, @onestepcloser_vsg, is weight loss poster.  Her journey is inspirational, and her post this morning was perfect:

Why work-out before work?  

  1. It’s often the most peaceful time of the day & a great way to get some alone time.
  2. It preps you for the day, waking up your brain, clears the mind & helps organize your thoughts.
  3. Gets in your exercise first thing & you won’t have to worry about it for the rest of the day.
  4. It boosts your metabolism & gets your digestion moving for the whole day.

All of these reasons were why I stared walking in the morning to begin with…to boost my day.  New habits, right?  So, this lazy butt feeling of a morning, I got up and walked.  I only walked for 20 minutes.  But I walked.  I thanked her as well for helping me get out of bed this morning!

Thankful.

Great Things

Baby steps…right?

“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” – Vincent Van Gogh

This is the quote in my Passion Planner this week.  “This week, focus on doing your best on each step as opposed to just focusing on the end result.”

Yes!  One step at a time for everything!  Weight, walking, positive thoughts.  Everything.

Blessings.

Thursday

This. Week. Ugh. 

Tried to complete Sunday without a complaint or criticism.  Have tried each day, and am failing. 

But today is Thursday…another opportunity to get it right.

Dropping

jachancellorLeave a comment

With all of the change I will be experiencing in the next month, we decided to drop my summer classes.  I wasn’t doing well with the online math class due to losing focus.  I need the structure of a classroom.  I am too new to this back to school thing, and admitting that I can’t do it right now is good.

I am enough.  To say no is okay.  I am very emotional about this. Right now really defeated.  But Fall is just around the corner.  And I will conquer these classes then! 

Prayers appreciated.  Blessings.

Weekly Shots -Update

jachancellorLeave a comment

Last week I saw my Rheumatologist, and we decided to take me off of the Methotrexate shots.  I had been experiencing too many of the side affects, and really felt the need to get off it.

Really won’t see the benefit until a couple more weeks go by, but excited that my immune system can recover.  I would really like to see how my body is without a lot of immune suppressing drugs.  One day.

Again, hopeful.

Enough

I bought this at TJ MAXX.  I have been doubting myself lately, and how much I am doing.  This reminds me that I am enough. I am doing enough.  It will be hanging in the office soon. 

Blessings.
