Who Am I?

Tuesday, August 03, 2010

I have been asking myself this question alot lately! It seems that while taking care of my husband and my son, friends coming and going out of my life, my mother's death to cancer and life happening I seemed to forget who I was. Now that my son is grown and away in college and my mother is gone I question who I am sometimes. I am no longer my mother's daughter and am not as needed by my son, my husband has even become more independent. I keep thinking that losing this weight will get me back to the "ME" that I used to be, but who was that "ME"?? And will losing weight get me back to someone I don't even remember all that well. On this weightloss journey, I am learning all kinds of new things about myself and the company I keep. It is interesting to not only lose weight but to also see who you really are/or have been all along hiding underneath all these layers.............

we are on a wonderful journey of self discovery aren't we!!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Its really interesting and exciting to get in touch with the inner you... We do spend a lot of time being someone's daughter, lover, partner, mother, friend, confidant, etc. Those roles, and they are roles, change just like the tides.. ebb flow and sometimes evaporate. Try new things and see how you respond to them.. journal.. or just sit and think Enjoy the ride, my friend! It can be quite the adventure! Faye Report Inappropriate Comment

You could have taken the words right out of my mouth!! Isn't it interesting how this happens to us as women/mothers?? Guess we just lose ourselves in our families SO much during that span in our lives..it's hard to figure things out on the other end... It's AWESOME that you're taking the time to think the whole thing out!! Maybe you don't need to figure out who you USED to be -- because through Spark you're creating a "NEW you"!! I recently read a Spark article (http://www.sparkpeople.com/resourc e/wellness_articles.asp?id=212) that I loved -- it was on a different topic -- I working on my "positive thinking" goal -- BUT it had this WONDERFUL line in it... It said "You’re a fantastic person on an exciting journey, in the middle of creating a life that you want." Isn't that INSPIRING??! SO, my wish for you -- a fantastic person --- is that AS you continue on this exciting journey, you create a life YOU want!!!!!! PS -- SO sorry to hear about your mom's death... How hard that must have been and so very sad... Report Inappropriate Comment

You are coming into your own awareness. Embrace your new life and realize you are your person. Deep inside the real you is still there. Embrace it and move forward. Fear not, take what you can out of life and remember you are important also. Report Inappropriate Comment

Can really tell a difference! Today the humidity is back in the 80%s...!! Glad you had a great "weather weekend"!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Being Active to Feel Good!

Friday, July 30, 2010

I have been trying to make myself be active for at least 10-20 minutes every day when I get out of work. It has been good!! I feel better, I have more energy and I usually end up being active for longer than I planned on which is a good thing!! I know that I feel better when I make my body move and although my back hurts a bit, overall I feel good! Now to carry it through the weekend! Here we go!!

GREAT JOB setting shorter activity goals and sticking to it!! Probably best for your back too! Isn't it funny how much BETTER we feel after exercising?! I find I'm more alert mentally too! It's weird that you wrote this TODAY -- I was JUST thinking about that this morning on my way to do errands!! Normally I walk the dog in the morning but today, my husband took the dog out and I felt REALLY "draggy" most of the morning....even though I was out and running around....! SO was trying to figure out WHY -- then it hit me! I think it's because I didn't walk this morning!!! Don't think I'll take a "day off" again anytime soon -- I don't want to feel that way...! Have a SUPER weekend!! Report Inappropriate Comment
