Each day I try to do something positive toward taking better care of myself. Today I did my physical therapy exercises and am getting my water bottle ready for the work day. I now have a riser on my desk at work and am standing more. This evening I am going to a seminar about foods for harnessing the power of the hormones and picking better foods for calorie burning. Tomorrow will take care of itself but I am still making plans for some good choices then too.

Just Keep Swimming


Each day I keep moving forward...Like Dory from Finding Nemo, I tell myself to "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming" and I do just that. I am finding out what that means with every moment. Do the next right thing, I remind myself. Move more, get up and walk. Plan your food, make the food choices balanced. As I get older, my body tells me I can't eat certain things that I shouldn't eat anyway, so I guess I have that going for me. Try to be positive, try to smile and try to make someone else ...

Be kind to other, but especially BE KIND TO YOURSELF. Be gentle with yourself. Progress not perfection. I am full of sayings! Hang in there everyone. Just keep swimming.

My Goals:
Choose the next right thing for my health.

My Program:
 I realize that if I want to change something about me, I can't rely on anyone but me to do that. I would love an accountability partner, but unfortunately that has been something I have not done well with so far. I feel like I fail them or they fail me. Then I quit. I am making strides one day at a time at a snail's pace, but I am at least moving.


Personal Information:
My husband and I have two kids and two crazy dogs. We work together at my family's business selling commercial kitchen equipment. I love crafting, spending time with my kids and husband and making jewelry, prayer beads, pottery, drawing and other theme craft gifts.

    I'm so excited that you've integrated such a lovely and centering morning ritual into you life. I used to do something very similar, and I really need to revitalize my morning yoga/prayer/meditation...Thanks for the inspiration!
    Keep up the good work, my friend, and check in when you can. I have been on and off, due to a crazy schedule, too - so I get it.
    And you're right emoticon

    Hari Om! And lucky you, Carol...two weeks at Yogaville! I was last there this spring, assisting with a program and then attending the Krishna Das Chanting Retreat (pure bliss!). Did you perchance look in my Photo Gallery?

    I'll be out of the country for about three months beginning Christmas Day, so I'll be scarce during that time, but I LOVE finding sangha! Let's stay connected!

    Om Shanthi, Shanthi, Shanthi!
