Motivation Monday! Let's finish the month strong, and make this week awesome!
"You can rise up from anything.
You can completely recreate yourself.
Nothing is permanent. You’re not stuck.
You have choices. You can think new thoughts.
You can learn something new. You can create new habits.
All that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
– Idil Ahmed"
I really love this quote. It hits home today, I was in such a foul mood yesterday morning, I wasn't fit to be around anyone and I'm not really sure what caused the bad mood but definitely wasn't a fun state to be in, but I need to just keep telling myself 'this too shall pass' because nothing truly is permanent.
I guess I wonder what pushes people from wanting to lose weight, to deciding to. From kind of trying, to being certain that's going to happen?
What did it for you? have you decided to? If not, lets cross that want to rolling our sleeves and getting on with it, no more messing!
I had been trying to loose weight before I got pregnant with my second. I lost about 30 pounds and then had to stop. I was really intrigued by keto and as soon as I could after being pregnant I started. I knew I needed to loose a lot of weight, moving and running after my kids was hard. I'm doing the work, the scale is moving down, I'm so close to being a 'normal' BMI and then it'll be a last big push to goal weight.
Kids and I were talking about this the other day - I think it is a bit over-hyped. We also think there are plenty of dangerous things in USA - bears, alligator's, wolves, coyotes, spiders, snakes, sharks, scorpions etc.
It is probably blown out of proportion. For me it's the stories of my grandma going down to Melbourne and finding tarantulas in the bathroom, and then being told to watch as they usually travel in pairs. Things like that make me not particularly fond of staying long.
@*tinker*bell* I forgot to say the other day that your little one on his 1st birthday was gorgeous and I hope you have had some good news about that job.
I had today off with 2 of my kids - they were sick and I was not quite feeling it myself. I had to attend at funeral for a student from work on Friday - so young. It is a sad reality working with kids with disabilities sometimes
Thank you, I'm waiting on an offer letter that might come in the next day or two. I'm still a bit mixed feelings on it all so I'm okay with the wait.
I'm very sorry to hear about your student I can't imagine how hard that would be. Hugs.
Topic Tuesday
how do you cope with Failure?
I love the concept of "fail fast". Pick yourself up, adjust, change, try again. Do you fail fast?
I am not great at failure. I tend to get lost a bit and too emotional over it. Sometimes I can detach myself and learn and move on, but usually that's if it's something I don't care about. If I care then I am a perfectionist and put all of myself into something, which I need to learn to pull back and not see every failure as a reflection of self. I think it'll come eventually.

I came across this a while back and liked it so much saved it.
I LOVE this <3 thank you for sharing it.
-- on an unrelated note tomorrow is my fastpass+ day... not looking forward to the 3:30am wake up call to be ready to book them at 4am. At least hubby can go into work late so I can go back to sleep after they are done. But we are less than 60 days from leaving as we spend a couple days at Universal first!!!!
