In my looking to the future post I had some "Immediate Goals" that I wanted to reach amd well I am late checking on them because I posted on September 22nd and here is October 7th- so it is two weeks later.

The goals were:
  • Wear that skirt that I talked about a few days ago that was just a bit tight
  • Reach my 28-day goal within my Scaless App. My target date is in 3 days, to reach that goal I need to lose 0.4lbs.  This is totally doable
I ended up hitting my goal, the day after I posted it so I easily made that one and began working on the next goal within the Scaless App, and as of writing this I am 14 days away from reaching that goal with 1 lb left to lose, so I think I will make that one, and possibly make it early.  Wit the app, once I hit the weight I set a new goal regardless of how long it took me to reach that goal.

As for the skirt, I probably could have worn it last week but I forgot to try it on.  I did try it on this morning. And it fits quite nicely if I do say so myself.  The other thing that is kind of cool, the hemline is not signficantly shorter in the back, which has been a problem in the past due to my bubble butt.

Some other exciting things that have happened recently (as in yesterday) is that I was able to comfortably wear both my wedding and engagement rings, and I am doing it again today.  I have really missed not wearing both because my rings are fabulous, if I do say so myself.  I cannot believe I didn't see it in any of my goals from previous posts.









This weekend I was looking for some work out pants that I had put away because I thought I was ready to wear them.  I could not find them anywhere but I did find this pair of jeans that I had been keeping for when they fit me again.  Guess what, they STILL do not fit me but this time I am not so upset.   This happened with a pair of khakis that I tried on before Mass yesterday, so both pairs of jeans hit the donate pile.

What to do when it seems that the world is on fire?

 First of all DO NOT PANIC!  Nothing good ever comes from panicking. Second, take a deep breath and then say a prayer, then count your blessings.  People that lean into their faith are happier.  Here and here Third, focus on your small circle what is going on there and focus on that.  So the stock market is crashing you really can't do a how heck of a lot about that other than don't panic.  So focus on what you have been doing to care for yourself and your family, use this time to identify an area or two to be frugal.  Being wise with your money is always a good thing, and this is a way to make lemonade. Fourth, largely ignore the news especially that of overseas tragedies.  Humanity sucks, but it is also beautiful.  We were not designed to have all of this information especially horrific information coming at us 24/7/365.  There is absolutely nothing I can do about some far off place to make it better, if I focus on those areas I feel ...

I am losing my momentum...

in many different areas.  I am still in showed up mode just skating by and maintaining but not breaking out of my rut. In some ways, I want to say it is ok because I spent two weekends in NJ visiting my Aunts and helping clear away some things at their house and the funeral.  I think everyone in this house has been sick not all at once so it seems like it has lasted forever.  So yeah there has been a lot of stress and uncertainty. I spent a good chunk of today focusing on some business-related things that I am really hope come to fruition.  I have also been doing some planning on Pinterest to try to incorporate some fun with my boys.  One of my fears is that as a 'Boy Mom' that I don't engage with them as much as I should or could because quite frankly I love them to bits but their interests don't really align with mine.  As the parent I know that it is my job to focus on them and come up with ways to join their interests, I get a lot of support from ...

Success...Happiness...Preconceived Notions....Letting Go

I am not really sure where I am going with this but I have been toying with this idea that success doesn't lead to happiness but it can sure enhance it.  So what exactly is success and really shouldn't I define success for me and ignore what "others" define as success? I have been thinking about this a lot and not really going anywhere partly because I am afraid of the answer.  But really I need to think about this for my own happiness, I get to decide what is right for me.  I also need to accept that I do not live in an ideal world so my vision of what I thought was success, probably isn't going to exist in the real world.  I need to adjust my idea of success to match reality and not what I wish, I have done it in other areas... Example of shifting expectations and ideals So I had this idea of how I would be as a parent before I had children, in fact I was an amazing parent and then I had kids.  The the kids came into my world and life changed in so many...
