Her Frame of Mind

I’d say this is a good outlook to have.
So many of Buddha’s teachings resonate with me. Though I cling to the Christianity I was raised with and taught to believe all my life, sometimes I’m just glad I’m able to think for myself and be me. Maybe there’s more than one way to enlightenment and heaven.

Finally starting to see a downward trend on the scale this morning.
I am *almost* back down to the weight I was before we went to Tahoe last month. Ugh.
It’s only a couple of lbs of water weight- but still, I was ready to see down from there- not back up and hovering around for a few weeks.
My downfall? It’s definitely Caramellos. Lol.
I am active, mostly- I walk 3 miles 5 days a week,I know- I gotta add something to this to make it start working again.

I’m so annoyed with my body, getting stuck in a spot for several months and can’t drop any weight- I know I am healthy and I’m grateful for that- but I’d love to be at my goal weight.
I guess I just need to stay the course and keep moving forward.

Just small changes every day.
Just think, if you got 1% better every day where you’d be in 100 days.
100 days to greatness.

Forward. Let’s go.

Make your move.

I’m just gonna share here, because I don’t want to do it on my main fb page- but Bear and I are planning the most epic trip of our lives (so far) and it’s almost overwhelming to think of it.
We’ll travel to Greece, spend 4-5 days there then head over to Cairo, Egypt for an 11 day PHOTOGRAPHY EXPEDITION with tours included- and be traveling with a group- which we have also never done.
If that wasn’t enough, next we will fly to Barcelona, where we’ll stay in the city for 4-5 days while we explore and wait for our 7 day cruise of the French Riviera/Italy!

I’m just freaking out. It’s 10 months away, and holy moly- that’s 10 months to plan and hope I don’t make it even longer. Haha.
We will be gone a month.

This is really a dream trip, for real. Lol.
I’m sitting here thinking to myself, self- ‘have you pinched yourself to find out if you’re dreaming?’

Nope, I’m not dreaming. It’s happening.
This is years of work, manifesting things that we want in our lives and working toward our goals.

I heard something today that made me stop and smile:

Single women own 2.7 million more homes than single men, leading in 47 states. And in a study of more than 5 million investment accounts, women’s returns averaged 0.4 percentage points higher per year.

So much for the idea that women need someone else to handle the money. 😉

Know your numbers. Own your decisions. Be your own sugar daddy.

Money = freedom. 💪

The homeownership figures come from LendingTree’s analysis of Census data; the investment figure comes from Fidelity’s 2021 study.

This morning we walked, I got home- started to figure out my high protein and fiber plan - minus dairy, because my body has decided no mas.
Anywho, I’m over here- planning my quinoa, smoked salmon and an avocado breakfast when what did I find?
A frickin loaf of cheesey jalapeno fresh sourdough!
I think we all know how that played out.
Hopefully the cheese won’t kill me later, because yep- I ate a big fat slice and it was delicious. Lol.
