I HAD to use Mojo Risin' because I could hear that part of a song in my head over and over like a Mantra, but I didn't remember which song...click click click ..google.. L. A. Woman by the Doors.
Thanks for all your great comments and thoughts and well wishes. I have no doubt it is helping guide me back. Faking it. Acting as if. Remembering I have no other choice but to get it together. Decluttering. Well, just a teeny bit. Telling myself I don't have to restrict certain foods but then making the choice to have or not have something. Now I have to stand by that, even when talking with a nutritionist. This is my journey. Even though right now I'm about as sturdy as a new born butterfly. When I over-restrict it tips off the see saw which is what this little mojo crash was a tiny bit about. It's more about self-confidence and that is going to take time, stringing along good minute after good hour after good day.
I'm piecing it back together. Food wise, I'm following my Bistro MD plan and If I'm hungry I've had a little celery with the new chipotle flavored laughing cow cheese. Also, making fruit / yogurt protein smoothies with my new Blender Bottle to replace the desire for treats or eating a Vita top here or there. An intense workout at the gym was a self esteem builder in itself. But today, I've been sleepy and tired all day , so a walk in the morning and a short walk in the evening until lightning drove me inside.
Reading a few blog archives (my own included) and Loretta's "Comfort Zone " doodle have helped big time. Thinking about my own journey out of my comfort zone has helped. I can't wait to spend some 'me time' coloring her doodle this weekend which should probably boost up my self confidence.
Just wanted to give a little progress report. I've put off stepping on the scale, but will do so tomorrow. Thursday is my official weigh day, and I haven't weighed in over a week. May not be pretty , but need to be ok with that. I'm in a place where I'm not beating up on myself no matter what it says. It's just a tool, it's not everything.
(I realize that complete sentences, proper grammar, etc are non existent in this blog, but probably particularly in this post....apologies)

My whole post today was about that word "journey." Funny how many of us feel that way about what we are experiencing. Sounds like you are making progress on yours:)
ReplyDeleteAnd I am a firm believer in poetic license in blogs! Grammar - bah - who cares! Complete sentences - sometimes they get in the way of my thoughts:)
WooHoo...Mojo Rising.....Keep going girl
ReplyDeleteHaving one's mojo back is a great feeling! Go you
ReplyDeleteMojo Rising is a good thing. So is scale=tool. So are imcomplete sentences, 'specially when they get a thought across so well. Atta baby butterfly! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI can hear Jim Morrison's voice! Now I need to review the advice that we all gave to you and apply it to myself. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a mojo role model!
"This is my journey."
ReplyDeleteYes!! Just my opinion, but I think it's a powerful thing to try this and that, and when you find things that work for YOU, defend them! The "experts" can't even agree... so definitely personalize this for yourself.
Great job nurturing that Mojo back.
Loretta
