I wish I could say I was off vacationing-I would really like one.<br />
Work and multiple family needs are begging for my time right now.<br />
I wish you all you kind souls a good summer.<br />
See you in the Fall-<br />

A special thank you for those who keep checking in with me. I appreciate you so!<br />
<br />
What's up?:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Working (I love that I get to help people feel better...I'm a massage therapist...and doula in training...I've been to (2) births within last last few weeks...yep, I love my work)</li>
<li>A little gardening: My basil is growing so lush! I put ginormous handfuls in my Blender. Add some lemon juice and zest and tiny bit of oil/water and buzz it up. Then I place it in an ice cube tray to freeze, then baggie it up to use for later. It's so delicious added to soups, sauces, salad dressings-or pastas (if you're so inclined). Wherever you like basil, this will work.</li>
<li>Exercising: My work is physical, and I do try to walk... close to any body of water.</li>
<li>BFC'ing/FT'ing: You see lately I'm not talking too much about that. It's because I'm not thinking too much about it. I'm not totally off the wagon (honestly). 2/3's of the time, I do really well :)</li>
<li>Menopause-ing: For those who may be interested...I found an herbal blend with Black Cohosh and a few other things. I'm SO pleased to report my hot flashes have decreased in frequency & intensity...amazingly so. I'm also searching/using some essential oils (I'll keep you posted on that experiment).</li>
</ul>
<div>
It's summer, and I want to do a happy dance. I just may...the day is young.</div>
<div>
I'm off to watch my grand daughter (she's 3, and most darling) take swimming lessons, pick some roses (mine are off the charts lovely right now), see a client, and welcome my traveling hubby home this evening :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I send affection and support from one lady who's efforts are for physical and emotional health (that would be me) to each of you.</div>
<div>
Take Care</div>
<div>

<br />
I've been working, enjoying wonderful company, basking in summer glory, sharing fresh herbs from the garden, and celebrating sugar free snow cones!<br />
<br />
I wish you all well. This week is going to be gloriously busy-<br />
So I'll check in when I can.<br />
<br />
Take Care-<br />

It's the perfect weather day: sunny and warm, and just the slightest breeze. </div>
<div>
I'm sitting at a large, round, umbrella covered table... and each of you are there. </div>
<div>
There is a bouquet of pink & white peonies (a favorite) stationed in the middle.</div>
<div>
I would share with you my Stevia sweetened, mint infused water (fresh mint from my garden. I love to garden, and appreciate my herbs), with crushed ice, of course (another favorite). </div>
<div>
We're talking of family and life, and what we're interested in. </div>
<div>
I know, I wouldn't notice the pound or two you've gained or lost/gained or lost. Or, If you were at your goal weight or not. I would be too interested in what you were sharing, and who you really are.</div>
<div>
It makes me smile to imagine that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>S</b>isters, I've been thinking non-stop (strongly for two years, but for almost 35 years) of the number on the scale (my scale), and the food I should, could, would-or ought to have eaten (mostly, not eaten). </div>
<div>
It's a little crazy making--for me.</div>
<div>
In our days of striving to care for ourselves we: shower, lotion up, do our hair/make-up, brush our teeth/floss, shave/wax, move our bodies, etc...you get the idea.</div>
<div>
I never obsess about some of those self-care, health promoting tasks.</div>
<div>
But I do obsess about my weight and food I do or will eat.</div>
<div>
Right now, that just doesn't feel right.</div>
<div>
I have no desire to be bigger, or eat out of control.</div>
<div>
I do desire to feel good in my own skin. </div>
<div>
That includes, losing some weight.</div>
<div>
What I really want, is to look at myself, the way I'd look at each of you sitting at that table.</div>
<div>
I don't have any answers.</div>
<div>
I am questioning myself.</div>
<div>
It's time for a mental shift.</div>
<div>
I'll keep you posted.</div>
<div>
Blessings to each of you, my round table buddies. </div>

....and not in a good way:<br />
<ul>
<li>Hot flashes (lots of them-too many to count). I'm looking for a more natural way to manage peri-menopause. If anyone has any experience or suggestions, I would appreciate some input here.</li>
<li>'Heated' discussions with my hubby. I was totally hormonal the last (3) days! I haven't felt like that in years. He was probably glad to leave this morning for his business trip.</li>
<li>Overactive 'hot' appetite. You don't really want details about that-it wasn't my best (72) hours.</li>
<li>My calm demeanor (heat shield) may have nearly been blasted off. I'm looking towards getting myself cooled down.</li>
</ul>
<div>
So....</div>
<div>
I'm off to prepare for work, and hopefully enjoy this beautiful day that is brewing around here. I'm looking for the other Jeri-this newer 'hotter' version has got to go. She's wearing out her welcome!</div>
<div>
Best Wishes for a good week, for you <i>and me.</i></div>Jerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01603324435862409108noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229796403080402119.post-3610214345991868342012-05-07T06:35:00.002-07:002012-05-07T06:35:38.437-07:00Happy Monday<br />
I hope you enjoyed a good weekend...mine went by so fast.<br />
<br />
* I've lost a lb and a few inches this last week. I don't want to get in the punishing mode of<br />
<i>I'm not good enough, and I didn't do enough (as I didn't meet my 2 lb goal, whatever!)</i><br />
I'm celebrating the small stuff-or at least trying to.<br />
* I've been working, gardening, and reading..some of my favorite things to do.<br />
* I made 'cauliflower rice' and used it in a casserole...my husband loved it, and I pulled out my mandoline and made zuchinni noodles...and created some homemade strawberry syrup (sugar free) for a deliciously icy and frothy drink! Yep, we can have little fruit on FT.<br />
<b>Did you see</b> the front cover of "O" magazine (Oprah's magazine)? It's a picture of her with her arm around her younger self. I only thumbed through it, but there was an article where she and others were speaking to their younger selves. I appreciate that type of reflection.<br />
<b>Can you picture this</b>, yourself...myself. We're standing as we are right now with <b>our arms</b> around our younger self. What would you say to her/him?<br />
As for me, my shortened version of that conversation might sound a little like this:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> I know you're worried about the future, but you're capable. Things will work out, they always do somehow. You know those impressions that come to you...listen...you can trust that.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> Don't worry so much about how clean your house is...play more (learn to play), and wear sunscreen! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>

<i>Change: </i>"It's inevitable...like death and taxes"<br />
But it's true.<br />
I've felt a some sadness and confusion about our Rosalie. It's been oddly unsettling <i> for me. </i> I understand where that comes from <i>for me.</i><br />
I liked Minichick's comment on acting (in)/(out). It fits my emotional eating profile. I learn so much from you all.<br />
<br />
I've been asking myself a few questions.<br />
Good questions.<br />
<i>Why am <b>I </b>blogging? </i><br />
<i>What need is it filling for <b>me? </b></i><br />
<i><b>(support & friendship)</b></i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
So in answer to my internal dialogue, I decided:<br />
* To blog 1x week.<br />
I could use those few extra hours every week focusing on exercising, preparing healthier meals, etc....<br />
Good idea, right.<br />
The weather is warming up, and I need to emerge from my cave.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful week all...see you next Monday. <br />

I had this experience last night (too many details to bore you with), but I was able to see my full backside fairly well in my large bathroom mirror.<br />
Yep, I think I found a little motivation there. Looking at my lumpy fanny, and generous waistline; I felt like I was looking at a body that wasn't mine...but it was (is).<br />
That experience helped me NOT eat the bowl of ice cream that I was fantasizing about.<br />
This morning I woke up an improved girl. What a relief to have a found a little of my better half.<br />
I'll share a few goals:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Lose 40 lbs w/in the next (6) months. That's a little less than 8 lbs/mo or 2lb/wk. So do-able, right.</li>
<li>Exercise...no more waiting until I feel like it. Walking, Turbo Jam, ...whatever. I will get moving.</li>
<li>More green foods</li>
<li>I will eat in modified Fast Track style. Wheat products are the absolute death of my will power. I've proved that to myself a few times ;/</li>
</ol>
<div>
Six months from now will be the end of October.<br />
I want to tell the six.months.from. now. Jeri how proud I am of her. She did it, and will keep doing it for the rest of her life. She never wants to feel the way she did on April 27, 2012 again. She will want to remember how she feels right now on October 28, 2012 (her 35th wedding anniversary): Healthy, fit, energetic and full of life....enjoying life.<br />
I'm putting that date on my calendar...right now.<br />
It will be a memorable conversation.<br />
...best wishes all.</div>

The work week for me is ending. I've enjoyed warm weather, gardening, working, a little fun, and all that jazz...it's been a good week. Thanks for checking in with me, and offering friendship. Bless each of you.<br />
<br />
<b>Now for more truth:</b><br />
. I've been <b>so</b> off with my food...too much sugar...too much--food.<br />
. No good excuse. Maybe I'm just lazy?<br />
. That's how I feel today. I just don't care that much...at this moment.<br />
. I know no one can do this for me. <i>But if I could... I'd ask Rosalie to do 'it'...she's determined and unwavering. Yep...I'd have Rosalie do this one for me :). She'd have this weight off within the next 6 months.</i><br />
<i> </i><br />
<i><b>What do you do when you feel you've lost 'it'?</b></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I know 'it's' here somewhere...I must have misplaced it?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I put it away while I was so busy these last few months, and thought I remember 'it' when I got back home and settled. I just can't remember where I put 'it'. I need to spend some time searching.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>'It's' here somewhere...I just know it.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope you all have a great weekend. </div>

And I'm grateful for both.<br />
TODAY:<br />
My daughter gifted me a make-up makeover...so I am doing that this afternoon. The esthetician I'll be seeing is good, so I'm hoping to learn some little trick. I feel that I rarely make makeup changes, and I've basically have been doing the same thing for the last 25 years!<br />
I can see my eyes getting older (and my hands/arms...I wish I would have used more sun protection on them...don't forget your neck and chest too!) , my eyes show everything...and that includes my age. I need to make some peace with the fact I'm getting older..not old...just older.<br />
TODAY, I'm going to enjoy my daughter's company, be pampered a little, and use my Sephora gift card.<br />
I've been a work.oriented.not.very.good.at.playing.kind.of.gal. So today is just about some fun and enjoyment. I'm up for that!<br />

son in law,<br />
and two grand sons are coming<br />
for a weekend visit<br />
...starting in a few hours.<br />
So why am I still in bed?<br />
Because I had to let you know-<br />
May you all have a wonderful weekend.<br />
P.S.<br />
It's suppose to be 20+ degrees warmer than normal<br />
I had to let you know that too...for all us winterized people...<br />
Summer will be here before we know it!<br />

I got on the scale this morning...and no change there...yet. So that means no lbs lost last week. (could have been the caramel corn on Sunday...the batch I made for someone else...but ate some myself?)<div>I'm choosing to look at the brighter side of all of this 'health recovery' (don't you like that phrase) process I'm in.<br />
<div> I AM drinking more water & eating more vegetables, and eating way, way less sugar.</div><div> Those are things I'm doing.</div><div> I think the most significant change is what's happening to my 'inner life'.</div></div><div>I feel more energetic, and hopeful.

Thank you for your support this week. It's amazing how steadying that is for me.<br />
I hope to report a few more lost (never to be found again) lbs by early next week. So my plan is to do those things that will help me do just that.<br />
My week at a glance:<br />
*Lost 3 lbs<br />
*Ate way more vegetables<br />
* Remembered to take my vitamins<br />
*Exercise a few times<br />
*Blogged<br />
* Tried a few new recipes to help make eating healthy more interesting<br />
* 7 days later I feel more energetic, more hopeful and a little lighter.<br />

So, I took myself to the movies and watched Titanic in 3D. I was in awe of Kate Winslet's beautiful skin. This time watching I felt even more sadness for the loss of life. I suppose my age is showing.<br />
I'm FT'ing-my way. That means the occasional popcorn and few black beans. Jorge's FT book ok's some fruit. I do eat some berries too. As I've shared before, staying away from breads and most grains helps regulate my appetite. Many of us are enjoying the flax seed minute muffin recipe. It's such a great substitute for our 'bready' yearnings.<br />
<b><i>Some of my new favorites:</i></b><br />
The almond flour/flax seed pancakes from <a href="http://purplerosy.blogspot.com/">Rosalie's blog</a>. Fast and delicious.<br />
Watkins Caramel flavored extract (I find mine at Wal Mart). I use it in my -almost daily-, **Ricotta pudding: I buy the full fat Precious Ricotta (Per 1/4 C: 3 carbs/2sugars) The sugar/carb content varies among brands.<br />
**Ricotta, 1 T choc chips, Stevia, flavorings...top w/ whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.<br />

What's been different??<br />
A little daily exercise, no diet drinks, more water and vegetables, very, very low grains/legumes. I'm not counting, measuring, etc. this week. I'm just making an effort to lay off the foods I know don't help me!<br />
Wah-lah! My body responds by giving off some of this excess weight!<br />
I haven't been 'perfect' (I don't like that word...and it means something different to each of us). I've just made simple changes from meal to meal.<br />
Some cooking inspiration came from: <a href="http://www.kaylynskitchen.com/">www.kaylynskitchen.com</a>. I generally see recipes as a method and then tweek them to my liking. I really liked her Chimichurri recipe and others.<br />

Yesterday after church, we took a walk along a local river trail. The weather was warm and sunny, and for those of us living where it snows; those days feel like a time to celebrate.<br />
Eating wise I'm doing much better. My appetite is still heightened, but I know that will change too. <br />

For me, grains and sugary foods fuel my seemingly out of control eating. That sensation, where a switch got turned on, and if I just eat enough; I could turn it off.<br />
There is an emotional component to my overeating...maybe even to my 'controlled' eating patterns as well?<br />
Yesterday, I did a little physical exercise and made some good food choices. That's a great start.<br />
The food is one part of my picture, and I'm searching out how to take care of my emotional life.<br />
I keep finding myself cycling up/down, up/down with my weight. I'm now heavier than I was 5 months ago.<br />
I'm not making any excuses for myself. I do want to understand how I keep coming back to the same place.<br />
Thanks for your support and insightful comments.<br />

I made it through one day (yesterday). I did/ate those things I know are helpful. I plan to build on that today as well.<br />
It's not so fun to fight the old urges to overeat & crave sugary/carby foods. I know those cravings will ease up...I have a faint memory of that truth!<br />

I've been MIA for awhile. I shared on Dawn's blog this morning that I'm dragging myself out of my carb cave today. And I mean dragging. I'm tired and bloated...and up 10 lbs from my lowest weight. Teary...yes. Disappointed...yes. Hopeful...I'm trying.<br />
I know what to do...yes.<br />

Just an, FYI the little guy in the cape (it's all he has on) had just fallen in the fountain...good thing the cape was off, so he had something dry to wear. I have nothing positive to report on the BFC front...I'm in survival mode for another 1 1/2 weeks. I'll undo the 'damage' then!

I wish I would have slept more than 4 hours...oh well, the week was worth it. I came home sick--I guess that happens when you burn the candle at both ends?<br />
I'm home for (2) days and off for a (4) day continuing ed class...home for a few days, and husband has hand(s) surgery, and then and off to CA for a baby blessing...this will be a very quick trip, with more time on the road than in CA.<br />
I really do think my life will quiet down? I'm ready to be home for while...a long while.<br />
It was fun trying to catch up on all your blogs this morning...take care.Jerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01603324435862409108noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229796403080402119.post-25340386157270186012012-03-15T08:07:00.001-07:002012-03-15T08:07:59.992-07:00What have I been up too?* Lots of baby cuddling & visiting with family...and more for today, as most of my children live in CA being here gives me that opportunity :)<br />
* Turned 55 this week!!<br />
<br />
I'm not worried about 'diet' (trying to be mindful though) & exercise-I have another few weeks of not being in my own environment. I'm determined not to go on a diet drink frenzy though no matter what!<br />
I may be the slowest 'loser' in BFC history!<br />

. bottle of Pellagrino (did I spell that correctly) It's in a beautiful green bottle and has a lovely label.<br />
. package of Stevia (also green package)<br />
. a True Lemon package (the stuff is a box. You buy it by the Crystal light, but it doesn't have any fake sugar. This tastes pretty lemony-and has < one carb. There is also a true orange that is good too)<br />
Mixed together in a large glass of water with plenty of ice--if you're feeling happy add a straw (the bendy ones is even better!)<br />
Take a big sip and think of me...smiling.<br />
I'm leaving tomorrow for a (4) day continuing education class, and then to CA for one week with baby Georgia. Now my children fly me out to them (it's a nice gig). I'll check in with you all when I can. You can think of me...enjoying my pre-perinatal massage class, and then holding baby Georgia for 7 days...I will be smiling.<br />
Enjoy your day, and welcome to all the new ones who have joined my site. And a heartfelt thank you to my dear blogging friends who check in with me often. You uplift my days, and give me hope. Thank you.Jerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01603324435862409108noreply@blogger.com6
