This post is a few days late due to Dad’s birthday and some back and forth travel to Ellensburg to help Mom.
Over all the week was great. Things that I have taken note of in this weeks work outs and eating and reading.
Alcohol – my consumption is down these last few weeks by about 60% What use to be a bottle of wine per night, is a bottle every 2-3 days instead. While I miss my wine, this should make a HUGE difference in my weight loss/getting in shape. The average bottle of red wine is about 625 calories. So what use to be about 4400 calories a week in wine, is now closer to 1800, so about 43% +/- Also I have not been doing my usual 3 out of 4 Saturdays of wine tasting, which likely added another bottle worth (though I will be returning to the wineries shortly for tastings)
Fruit and Veggies – eating a lot more of these, so some good fiber and nutrients from them is def helping me in a lot of ways.
Smaller portions – I am finding that with the increase of fruit and veg, a lot less meat in single sittings, less every thing else. So maybe the “weight” of stuff I am eating has not changed a lot, the “what I am eating” has.
As for the Quote at the top of the post. The hardest part is letting go, realizing that, understanding that there is no going back as long as only one of us wants too. Not that we could Go Back to what it was anyway. It would need to evolve and change, what we left was not working. It would need to be something new, built on the ashes of the past, with a new approach, new understanding.
Before the Coffee Gets Cold is the book I am in, and I sort of do not get it. That said, I feel I should get it, as it really sort of directly relates to my relationship situation I think… I will finish it this week (Week 4), then its on to Being Happy, a short book I have read before, but need again right now. That will take only a few days. Then I finish Marriage Rules (likely Week 6s read).
I also need to implement the tools in Change Your Life in 7 Days. Have to work on that.
Next week I will have a Sponsorship Announcement, and some product discounts. Exciting! I have not been sponsored for anything in a long time! So excited to return to the promotions realm.
Thank you all to those that read these ramblings and follow my journey.
