Mental: Everything I love about my body 1. My legs are strong and I can walk walk walk! 2. My endurance is strong and I can walk walk walk! 3. My face structure is changing with peri-menopause, changing from round to having more contours. I find it beautiful to see my "new" face evolving 4. I still have all my teeth (even…

Awesome challenge! It's great to share this journey together with you, Caradae! I'm in. :D And here's a P.S. from last week's mini challenge. I didn't choose the jumping jacks challenge, because my knees don't like it. BUT, after doing more of the HAES challenge, I found that the site recommends some fitness videos by…

March 6 Did I exercise for 20+ minutes? YES! Did I stay within my calorie budget? YES! Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES! Am I still eligible to win March's challenge?

I didn't know what PCOS was, so I googled it. Here's what I found. "Polycystic ovary syndrome (say "pah-lee-SIS-tik OH-vuh-ree SIN-drohm") is a problem in which a woman's hormones are out of balance." Yep. My hormones I would say are out of balance. And the binge eating of "comfort foods" can be a cause of that???? Yikes!…

On the HAES website, I found a link to a website about BED (Binge Eating Disorder). Sounds familiar to me! :) So, I am checking out that BED site. This list of health complications from binge eating was a wake up call to me. http://bedaonline.com/understanding-bed/complications/#.UxoAVV47soY "People who are obese and also…

My knees don't like jumping jacks, yet, and the 1800 calorie thing will happen automatically IF I stick to the other rules of this challenge group. Soooooo, I'm doing the research and posting what I find. I went to http://haescommunity.org/ and found this awesome tidbit: "Health at Every Size is based on the simple premise…

Thank you, LazySpice, for your thoughtful feedback to people's posts. I just learned today how to use that "quote" button. :) I appreciate reading your musings and reflections about New Year's resolutions and goal setting. It sounds gentle and loving. Mindful! ")

Another clean eating day! Yay!!! I love the support to avoid sugar. Occassionally I splurge on wheat (a sandwich, or a friend's special homemade pumpkin bread). For me I am fine with splurging when it feels appropriate, rather than counting "cheat meals." I prefer not to use the word "cheat." I'm trying to learn to listen…

Thursday, Dec 19th, 2013 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- The daimoku we chant towards the fulfilment of the great vow of kosen-rufu is, in fact, the greatest of all joys.* Let’s transform the hardships we face into a source of happiness, our karma…

Congratulations on logging your food and exercise in your diaries, Lisamac! What do you think of sending some words of encouragement to at least one other member of this group before Christmas? Cherish yourself, and this moment! The present moment is everything.
