You aren't on a diet...
Last night I found myself watching a very sad show about obese teenagers who struggle to lose enough weight to have gastric bypass surgery. One boy in particular touched my heart. He struggled with the food...struggled with his enabler mother. He had reached a breaking point when the doctor confronted him about not losing weight. He told the doctor, "I just can't follow this diet..." The doctor sternly said, ...Choice
This morning I found myself contemplating this word...choice. In every day of our lives, we face choices. Do we eat healthy or not...do we take the left or the right road...do we wear the blue or the green shirt...all have a common bond...WE choose. Choice is not something we have taken away from us...there is always a choice. Our choices lead us to more of the same types of choices. Choosing to eat something unhealthy...Holiday Challenge - Day 1
Today is the first day of my Holiday Challenge. Today is a lesson in moderation. We are headed out to a brunch for my Busia's birthday. Today is about healthier choices when steping up to the buffet. I'll take a walk later this afternoon to begin jumpstarting my healthy lifestyle. Love you guys. ...Giving
Today I was watching the movie, "The Shift" by Wayne Dyer. It was such a powerful experience - but the part that affected me the most was when he talked about living a life of service to others. Have you ever had someone tell you something over and over again and it doesn't sink in...then you hear the exact same thing from someone else and *BAM* it clicks? This is what happened to me today as I watched this movie...My Coco is with the Angels
Tuesday we put our precious dog Coco down. She had a deadly case of pancreantitus and was in pain just from eating. The day it happened I couldn't stop bawling - uncontrolable crying. I was worried - were we doing the right thing? I mean, if you looked at her you'd never know she was sick. Her perky ears and bright eyes...looking as much like a puppy as the day we were blessed to have&nb...Whine - OVER
Apologies to all I've wronged - positive energy shooting out to you all. Hoping you all have an incredible Denver experience! Time to get to work. Birthday was Oct 7, I'm 39 now. Time to have those babies. Love you guys - Julie ...Life
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Your love and thoughts mean more to me than you will ever know. I have been bitter for awhile now...still am a little bitter - but it's time to come clean and let you know what's been going on with me since August when I left T.com. When I was going through struggles with my husband and his health issues, I cried out for help. In my anger and fear for what was goin...Hello
Haven't been around...life throwing everything it has at us yet we keep pushing forward. Missing my friends. Julie...Leading by example...truly means
Husband's cholesterol came back bad. 245. He is now on meds for this and blood pressure. Overweight, stressed and scared. that's how I'd characterize both my husband and myself...I know that being scared isn't a bad thing. In fact, fear can be the catalyst that causes us to wake up and take massive action to fix a problem. I'm allowing myself 15 more minutes to be scared or stressed over thi...C2 - Day 37
I am so blessed!Last night's phone call was really good. I was so nice to hear everyone's voices again. Marty gave such good advice about relaxing into your breathing while running...I can't wait to run again so that I can really put it to good use. In the meantime, I'm going to make sure that I use this method while doing my walks. ********************************************I set my intentions today over my goals:1) I int...C2 - Day 36
I am so blessed! Well - I ended up losing 1 of the 2 pounds I had intended to lose this week. Looking back there needs to be some screw tightening. Meals & workouts...meals and workouts...Today I'm feeling exhausted. I just started writing articles for www.ehow.com to make some extra cash. I'll proably be posting links to my articles in my blogs. My username there is floorance too - feel free...Denver Dreamin'
Good Morning Everyone!I am so excited and blessed that I have received (2) pledges so which gets me 12% to my goal of $500.00!

I'm so excited - I'm GOING TO DENVER!!!!!So....talked again with Eric @ Sky-High. I've been invited to share a quad (LOVE YOU DANA D). Looks like the quad rate is $309.00. Couple this with the $190.00 airfare and you get about $500.00. Not too shabby..still trying to work it cheaper. I'm setting the intentions that I will find exactly what I need to make it to Denver. I've already put up my make-a-wish torch an...C2 - Day 32

Today I got an answer from Sky-High Travel. I spoke with the nicest person I think I've ever dealt with in customer service! Eric @ X1333. FABULOUS GUY - call him if you still need to go to Denver!!!We found out that I can get to Denver for about $209.20 for airfare (I may have found cheaper through expedia @ 189.70) and $137.00/night room with no meals. We also discussed other options such as moving to another hotel ...C2 - Day 31
I am so blessed! Yesterday was such an amazing rebirth. So many things made anew...I am truly blessed! I had resolved to not have the time to walk before work yesterday and then WHAMO...I was walking around our big block. My co-worker wasn't available to walk at lunch so I resolved to not walk and then WHAMO I went for a walk on my own listening to Wayne Dyer. After dinner my son wanted to go for a bike ride.

The Willingness to LearnSo far during this second transformation - I've faced some new challenges and needed to learn some new lessons. I still can't get over how different C1 is from C2...but honestly what did I expect? :)Bill Phillips - Bill continues to teach me through his blogs, his radio shows and through my personal dealings with him. This challenge I'm learning so much more about the power of intention...and just h...Denver - prayers continue and miracles happen
Something in me is telling me that my dream of going to Denver isn't over...I've been receiving signs lately - what I would call GOD-incidences - that Denver is not a lost dream. Colorado, running and make a wish keep popping up in my life in unexpected places and at the most unexpected times. I'm continuing to pray about it and pray that GOD shows me clear guidance to get to Denver.I've contacted the travel agency to see how much it ...C2 - Day 30

Lowest Level Habit: The excuses I allow myself to use to remain lazy...not workout...not eat right...not get up and clean...etc... How are you going to transform that weakness into a strength: When I will be going out and purchasing Wayne Dyer's NO MORE EXCUSES audio books and applying the principals there. Also - any time I find myself using an excuse to allow myself to be lazy...I will get up and IMMEDIATELY do the thing ...floorance
