Rewards

Hmmm....

Rewards for a job well done.





Rewards for following through.

Rewards for surviving....


Do you make the rewards food oriented or not?

I think this depends on your goals and action plans.  For me, I am not making the rewards food oriented.  They are experiential, for example a massage, a pedicure, a new swimsuit, a new pair of shoes, a beer, a travel back to Ireland....  ya get my drift, right?


It's late and this feeble brain is done for the day.  Slainte!

Cheers,
L.

WtR: Day 4: Detox Salt, Sugar, Fat and Caffeine

Aloha, my eight readers! I'm back!  I am sorry for the break in posting, but hey - life happens.  There was an incident last weekend that would have fallen on this day.  Completely in synchronicity with the focus of today - cutting out the crap from the diet that doesn't serve my body well. Last Tuesday, I took a shortcut and decided to get a salad for dinner.  However, I passed said salad place because I was distracted and then it was too late to turn around and still pick up my daughter.  So, I decided to "treat" myself and my mother to a hamburger and fried zucchinis.  My daughter did not partake because she is the smarter one to avoid fast food and stick to her rice cereal, green beans, and eggs... Anyhow, flash forward to Thursday, we are both in wretched condition.  I was sick as a dog all day, she was sick as well - but much more so.  She required going to the hospital for her nausea and sickness, as well as dehydration.  Three IV bags later and some Zof

WtR: Day 3: Sex and more of it...

Aloha!  Welcome to another WtR day with the focus on S.E.X!  If you are just joining, please check out these posts:  40 Days  and  Update .  We're actually on Day 3, so you really have not missed much, if at all.  ;) You may or may not be coming in on the good part (pun may or may not be intended). So. I have to be a little honest - I didn't want to write this post.  Part of the reluctance is how much do you share? Another part is how much do people really  want to know about what's the happenings behind any person's closed doors?  And. the last bit of the resistance is how do I want to approach this topic knowing I have my own struggles? Here's the deal - in my experience, the discussion regarding sex depends on your upbringing and parents' perspective about sex.  Sex is either a natural act (think livestock and husbandry), or an expected (discussed and talked about) activity, or is nonexistent (prudish or "only when you're married").

Aloha!  Welcome to another day with the focus on Exercise.  If you are just joining, please check out these posts: 40 Days , Update , and WtR Day 1 . Most days, exercise is like this: Source: Motivation Required Other days, exercise feels like this: Source: Best Of... Either way, it's something that probably shouldn't be looked at as a chore or an inconvenient necessity. I am currently reading S arah Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort of Joy.   Yesterday, it was about "creative movement."  She explained that exercise does not need to be regimented or exhaustive activitiy, i.e.  Crossfit, P90x, HardCorp, or Arnold  Schwarzenegger "Puhump Yu Up" (say it in his accent, you know you wanna ...).  Creative movement is whatever physical activity that imparts joy and a release from all of the crap you are enduring.  Another well-known coach and author,  Chalene Johnson, calls this the "soul" workout in
