Checking in

I accidentally deleted my post from my forum goofing around but knew I moved it here so it's all good. I'm loving my uke having so much fun! The rest of my life is crazy. My family has been driving me crazy. I've been having some major problems in my life and everyone has advice to give me. Today my sister was joining in on the pick on Kristi wagon and we got into a fight. My life is so full of stress it is hard to keep on track. Once the holiday is over I'm going to refocus on ME!

Post From Today's Forum

I just had such a great night! I didn't get to bring my healthy food but I did get rid of an unhealthy gift given to me, peppermint bark, yummy. I did enjoy some of course, but there was a pound of it! The whole pound was 2240 calories worth of sugar! Luckily we were meeting to jam on some ukuleles and our hands are too busy to eat with, lol. This group of people are so much fun, it was such a great experience. This was hard for me to do and I even thought about turning around and going home a few times on the way there. I don't know these people and I'm going to have to play and sing with them? Nerve racking for me, I've always had stage fright. Once I was there it was great they made me feel very welcome. Lots of positive energy!! They totally pumped me up, I'm going to start playing with them every month. Going out of my comfort zone has made me feel like an improved person, like I've grown, awwww. Seriously I can't believe I was playing for people I don't even know. Most of my friends don't even know that I'm playing. Now I'm so excited and feel so good again. I guess my point is it's the uncomfortable things in life that are so rewarding once they are done. I wanted to start this up again because winter was getting me in such a funk as well as other life events. It might have just given me the boost I needed. :)

Things Are Paying Off

It takes a long time for me to notice change in myself but I'm seeing it now. I feel strong and like I'm not going to stop until I'm in the best shape of my life. The other day someone asked me if I was taking anything, like diet pills, I took it as a compliment. Adding more whole foods to my diet has helped. I think I'm going to save my bread and pasta for cheat meals. I'm going to make it through the holidays while losing weight!
