Greetings on this lovely Monday morning! After a stormy weekend, I am actually feeling quite rejuvenated, a welcome change from how I usually feel on Mondays. The topic of my women's circle this month is RETREAT, and it has been wonderful to create space in my life and truly give myself room to just be. I feel much more centered and it has stimulated a lot of creativity. I ended up redoing our front flower bed, building a curtain rod from copper pipe, and finishing our master bedroom. It feels so amazing to create a lovely, welcoming space to come home to. Additionally, I've made a lot of progress professionally. Over the last two weeks I've had two difficult conversations with colleagues, and ya know what? They actually turned out incredibly well! I am feeling so grateful to have this weight lifted off my shoulders!This weekend, though I had a whole list of things I wanted to get done, Chad and I were sequestered in our house because of the crappy weather. It ended up being an incredibly restful weekend. We stayed in our PJs most of the day, and really got to relax. Even though we spent most of the weekend lounging, we still got a lot accomplished, and today I feel good instead of burnt out. Just a powerful reminder of how important it is to allow yourself to rest and recharge.
So last week I had a minor freak out about my weight. Once I came back down to earth, I took inventory of how I've been feeling and how my body actually looks, and I have to say, I'm totally happy with where I'm at. Yes, I would still really love that six pack, but I have total confidence that I will get there. Nevertheless, last week I subbed protein shakes for my normal breakfast 5/7 days, and really felt great! I was much more aware of my body, and made an effort to listen to it. On the days when I was really hungry, I had a big breakfast, otherwise a shake was just perfect!
Saturday we had planned to have friends over to bar-b-q. They came in to town for the Country Music Marathon and had a really rough race with the storms. They were pretty exhausted so we ended up meeting them down town for dinner instead. We totally indulged on too much wine, and topped it off with chocolate cake from Wholefoods. Hey, gotta do it every once in a while right? Aside from that, my diet was really good all weekend and I didn't have any tummy issues, thank goodness!!!
I'm so excited to see what this week brings as I continue to make space.
