That's not my problem.

How do you not let someone else's issue effect you? If I were to choose a list of five things in my life to conquer, #1 would be food, #2, would be to let other people’s problems and issues remain theirs. Stop taking false ownership of something that wasn't mine to begin with. I am an over thinker, I internalize everything and worry too much. - Learning how to renew my mind. I believe that this is a side dish, if you will, of being a caring, loving and sensitive person. How can I be both someone who loves, but doesn't take the world on my shoulders?

This week, I decided I need to focus on me, the only person I have control over, is me. Learning how to live one day at a time, only focus on the things that I CAN control. I know easier said than done. It's not that I don't love, or care, it's just that by worrying about someone else’s issue or problem isn't helping me, or them. It's useless. I need to make better use of my time and power.

On a brighter note:


God made a beautiful day today. I got up and walked 3.25 miles this morning, it was very cold out. I have to get more miles in. The week before last I was sick, and last week with my vacation, I didn't walk as much. While I had every intention of sticking to my points and eating well while I was away.. Yea, that didn't happen. I am a sucker for shrimp that is fried and halibut, beer battered. We drank at least two latte's a day, that right there is half my points. So moving on, not going to dwell.

However, this will be week 3 that I am at the same weight. That is not ok. I am more determined than ever to stay focused... journal, track my points, walk and stay positive while I watch my portion control. I realized this is my biggest pit fall. So I must learn moderation, that would be #3 on the list.

#4 Would be to live each day inspired... to live each day with such a passion. Not jut today but...Every day!

#5 I don't know what number 5 would be, I will have to think about that.

Well I am off to start my day, making healthy choices and using wisdom. Inspired to get healthy, and treat myself with dignity and love.
