Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

Amiga!!! :grouphug:!! I am HERE!!! I miss you all too!!

I was swamped with Life and figuring things out. I sometimes as well go through a lack of motivation for exercise when this winter comes out! Brr!!! I am pretty ready to change the sail of my ship, since it has been sailing the WRONG way for a minute.

The holidays were amazing and I am loving the people in my life more than EVER!!! :beating:! I am feeling blessed for that new take on them all in my life, and I have Gratitude to thank for that! This week by far is set to be one of my MOST amazing weeks thus far while building my private practice.

I am working 3 days this week, and I have managed with GOD's help to have 12 clients in those 3 days!

Things we are working on:

-Anger Management
-Procrastination
-Insomnia
-Relationship enhancing
-Creating independence
-Relieving stress
-Getting past break ups
-Weight Loss
-Organization
-Smoking
-Reducing sugars
-Choosing the right life path
....etc... etc...

God has been hearing my desire to help others and in turn he is helping me do so as well!!

My weight has stayed the same and bounced up and down a couple pounds. I have again started today again, limiting my carb intake and done exercise a couple times last week here and there. I want to get back to posting on a more frequent base since it helps me reflect and find myself more! THING TO DO!!! I've been cleaning like crazy for the past 2 days since I had avoided it forever!! I'm feeling better as we speak!!

Hope to buy my Christmas Tree tonight!! :D! Love you all~!! Be back soooon! My birthday is this month as well on the 12th! the big 28!!!!

I really do have so much to be grateful for this year:

-Gaining INDEPENDENCE and moving out
-Finding my passion in life
-Fixing my relationship and having it be better than ever
-Finding peace with my mother
-Graduating as a Hypnotherapist
-Getting laid off my job!! LOL!!
-Having a WONDERFUl home to share my love in for myself
-Starting my own PRIVATE hypnotherapy practice
-Helping TONS of people with their issues
-Meeting my LISA from the forum in VEGAS!!!!
-Learning the most about myself EVER!!!
-TAKING CARE OF ME!!

It's been a good year. I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of things. For now, this is pretty good! :D! I am constantly trying to update my website. So far, this is what I have. Click the link by my ticker if you have more questions about hypnosis! :D! xoxoxo Ciao Friends!

Hey I don't know how I missed this post but I did and I'm glad I found it!!! Good to hear things were good over the holidays and things in the life of Alta are just as busy as ever!!
Do you have any birthday plans yet? That's exciting that is coming up!! Some motivation to exercise next week maybe. It's always easier when the motivation is strong.
I love the post you left me about being happy with yourself. Sounded just like the Alta I know and love!
Always great to hear from you - don't take another month off from here!! Once a week update would suffice - more would be better!!! :seeya:
 
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY Friend!!:party:
How'd it go? What did you do to celebrate? What did your hunnie get you? It's been too long again since we've had an update from you!!
Wishing you a great year ahead!! I have a feeling it's going to be a good one!!
 
Belated Happy Birthday from me too Alta! I'm so sorry I missed it! Sending you lots and lots of love, your friend from Down Under, xoxoxo Mwah! xoxo Cate.
 
Thank you so much, my WONDERFUL friends!! xoxoxo :beating: I love you guys!!! <3 For my birthday I threw a party for myself at my house!! Tiki torches all around, a bar tender and her mobile bar, drinks galore, and food galore!! It has been one of my best month's so far in Hypnotherapy to this day so I decided to treat myself to the enjoyment of other's company around me on the day!! So I fed them and had crazy bbq's and drinks and jello shots!!! I was stressed the first half of the night,
and then finally once everything was all set did I have a blast.

I learned that throwing parties are HARD. It's so much work. It was a BLAST~!! I decorated like crazy and received some nice gifts. The enjoyment of having everyone in one place where they can just enjoy without spending was what I really appreciated. :beating: The whole thing probably cost me $560 dollars including the new bonfire grill I bought myself. :blush5:!~ hahaha. Good thing I got some cash gifts. LOL!!...I've been having a blast since.

My sweetie got me the biggest beautiful dozen roses with pine and silver trimmings, with a sweet card & a whole matching set of beautiful neck pearl necklace but really extroardinary and a huge boyant ring along with some gorgeous ear rings from Bloomindales. :) I love it!! <3 He knows my style and was very very dashing and outgoing that night! Adorable!! :)

I have been sporatically working out, and eating healthy. Slowly going down in pounds, but feeling AMAZING in life! I look in the mirror and can only see and say wonderful things! I think for that reason my urgency to get down in pounds had seemed to diminish as I was enjoying. Going down slowly. THOUGH, I do miss my crazy urgency efforts. ;)

Consistency of ANYTHING has been what I have been thinking of lately. Everything works. That's the truth. We just have to stick to it. Keep going. At all times. Whether we want to or we don't. We can do it! :D!

I've been consisteny the past 4 days maybe, and every other day and for just play the rest.

I was watching my little 5 year old brother this past week, and I realize that the older we get the faster we lose the initial wisdom we are born with. Meaning, a child, makes time each and every day to PLAY. Exercise for us, equals PLAY for them. Play is more enjoyable. Exercise has an intended outcome. An intended outcome sets us up for being let down. It's the language of our thoughts that matters. You never hear a child say I have to exercise. (unless imposed on him by his parents). You always see a child wake up each and every morning with childlike curiosity for the day. With enthusiasm! You see a child make times for his hobbies each and every day! No excuses. Whether it be color, or ride bike, or skateboard. They make the time!! Why don't we? .... I think because we correlate it wrong in our minds. We expect too much out of the activity. Doesn't mean to not give it your all, what it means is that the outcome could be GREATER because we try SO HARD just exerting ourselves at that very moment, and just expecting to continue doing so in PLAY. Everyday play.

I watched Roman, my 5 year old brother eat a pizza slice and then another, and put it down when full. Go play. Run around the living room. Bounce on the ball. Color. Watch the movie. 2 hours later, eat 3 bites. Put it down. Smile, laugh, live, and PLAY! And over and over. Food is ENERGY. Food is not comfort. Moving and exercising is PLAY. Exercising is not LOSING WEIGHT. Exercising is not even in their vocabulary. What we know as exercise is PLAY for them. Play is fun. Play is not work. Play is daily. Play is an escape. Play is ALL THEY KNOW!! They forgive. They move on. They let go. They smile constantly. They make jokes. They understand. They listen. Their every move and every thought revolves around FUN and having it. Nothing is taken too seriously. They rarely hold expectations, and when they do are very flexible with the outcomes. They are their TRUE SELVES. They are what each and every one of us should strive to be.

I think, that if society on a whole, would be more like the mind of a 5 year old, we can solve our greatest worries. Observe the small, for they are wiser than we can ever hope to be again in this life. :beating:

Your birthday party sounds FANTASTIC!!! Happy late Birthday! :biggrinjester:

Love kids, they just make your day by watching them sometimes, I'm so lucky to have 2 of my own. They really teach you a lot about life. I love their honesty :) Wish I could be 5 again too!
 
:cheers2:Awesome post Alta!! So true! I've been really enjoying my exercise lately - not worrying about the calories or the distance - just enjoying it - and the high afterwards!
Your party sounds like it was so fun and special - your bf really does have good taste!! I know what you mean about parties being a lot of work - we have an annual xmas party and last year 30 people came and this year it's expected to be even bigger! I don't have a dish washer so I was constantly washing dishes all night. Just seeing everyone having a good time was worth it though! I'd love to see some pics from the night if you have any!!
So good to hear from you! Hope to hear from you again before the holidays - if not have the best time ever!! You really deserve it!! Cheers friend!!:cheers2::waving:
 
Your party sounds amazing! :) Love the piece you wrote about youth and food...I see that sort of stuff in my brother, and wish I had the same feelings towards food as he does! O_O
 
I loved that post too Alta. How true! We should try to step back into that mindset & have fun! Sounds like a good way to start the year to me. We do set ourselves up for failure by setting our expectations way to high. Let's enjoy :D
"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day we may look back & realise they were the big things."
Happy New Year honey,
xoxo Cate
 
Yay

I'm BAACK!! I started a new diary.. check it out :) Let's do this!! Did you get my email? 2011 is it! I really like what you said about Roman eating the pizza for fuel.. it got me motivated!!!:party:
 
Happy New Year! Happy New Me! Happy New Thoughts!!

Happy New year, Friends!!! 2011!!! :cheers2:

Isn't is amazing how fast time passes us by!? Its so hard to believe. YET, here we are!! Another day in the world of conquering oneself and our goals!!

I have this board on my wall that is white, and empty, and when I get a thought that motivates me I write on it with marker. This is what I had to say to myself, and I thought I would share it in my diary.

-Whether you have a chance for it or you don't, whether you want to or you don't, you just FIGHT FOR IT!

-Exercise before was intended with a goal of losing weight. Exercise is now for enjoyment of moving, instead. With enjoyment, exercise can not ever let us down. Enjoyment allows for completion. Enjoyment of playing. Playing is appreciating the child within. Playing is the key to the youth of the soul.

-We are all a machine. We just have to learn how we run, to be able to have the best efficiency.

-We can not focus on the past, What we have is the present. What we can embrace is the future. One love forward.

-Everyday is a NEW day. You have to help yourself before you can help others.

-Trust the process.

-What God gives me is the ability to love. The ability to see. The ability to feel. The ability to change. That ability is the same ability to forgive, and move on into love. There is more. There is love. I am aware.

-Simple steps repeated daily = Success

-Being thankful for the happiness within us, is playing with our inner child everyday.

-Make time. Time is there. Use it.

And the list goes on.....:coolgleamA:
 
Day 1 again!

With all that being said...Today is Day 1!

I woke up this morning with a bit of a cold. My glands are swollen, and my motivation was down. It worked out perfectly because they are doing some construction in the clinic where I see my clients, and I had to reschedule them for next week. Not great financially of course, but, I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED AND WANT!

That's always a plus!! :D! I woke up, and decided to play entrainment music to take my mind to the alpha state and create a wonderful serene 30 mins of Meditating. The difference with meditating and self hypnosis, is that meditating is for clearing the mind. Self hypnosis is a focused concentration to create a change in an area of our life. Both take you to that limitless state in which the mind has no boundaries. Worries are left behind. Observation and creativity become key to the progression of our emotions and thoughts, thus propelling our action.

I started my day with 30 mins of that. And then went to a mountain/ Huge hill with a friend where you can hike UP for about 1 hr and one hr down. It was TOUGH!! I was huffing and puffing yet felt really good after!
I have been taking my mind back into the mentality of Raw Juicing and eating clean wholesome living foods! I loved that point in my life, and am slowly getting back there. Starting in the mind, and following with my actions. It really takes a STRONG WHY, for me to be able to change, and I appreciate when I give myself the time to re evaluate who I am and what I want.I am ready!! :D!

Bkfst: 1 cup of water with 1/2 lemon juice
Raw Jack LaLanne Juice- Carrots, Pear, Apple, Parsley

Snack: Raw Cashews

Snack: After hike- Apple/ Raw Cashews

Lunch: Medicine-(appetite is low)
Raw Fresh squeezed juice- Arugula, Lemon, Apples, Pear, Carrot, Parsley, Greens, Celery

Dinner: Will be soup- vegetable- and Tempe (fermented) Farmer's Market!


~~The reason I had stopped eating Organic and Raw for quite some time, was because of the cost. I realize NOW, that the cost of me NOT eating that way will be much greater down the line 20 years when I am paying for the CHEAP way of eating that I did to myself. It costs less to spend $4 extra or so on things NOW, than have to fork out THOUSANDS later for the shitty way I treated my body. So yea, that's how I justify to myself on INVESTING more in my food. It's an INVESTMENT in my health. A gradual health plan, instead of a SUDDEN operation to save me later in life.~~

I am worth the money being INVESTED in me and my health! :D! Just do it!

P.S. I missed you friends!! :grouphug: Thank you for visiting me! Though sometimes I am strapped on time to respond back, I LOVEEEEE reading your posts, so please do! Thank you! I will be back tomorrow!! :)

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret and The Power

From The Secret Daily Teachings
It is when you no longer feel the need for money that money will come. The feeling of needing money comes from the thought that you don't have enough, and so you continue to create not having enough money.

You are always creating, and when it comes to money, you are either creating the lack of it or the abundance of it.

May the joy be with you,Rhonda Byrne

Nice to see you here Alta and a happy and healthy new year to you.
I love where you wrote that buying healthy food is investing in your future health. I often take the cheaper less healthy option but I'll think about your words now when I shop as you are so right. :)
 
Thanks Ecky! It's so true right?! I think it's just about shifting mentality and hoping the pocket follows. LOL!! :)

Christen: DAY 2 bitch!!! WORK! ;) No more messing around this year. April vacation to LA to celebrate sounds AMAZING! :D!

Yesterday went well at night! I was watching the Biggest Loser, and stuck to my plan of dinner and added 2 cups of wine, and two Macaroon no preservative cookies from Farmers Market. About the wine, I know, I'm sick! I just wanted to drown away the cold and activate the medicine faster! LOL! :D! THEN, Biggest Loser came on, and as I'm activating more laziness, I see the new cast BUSTING their ass :cuss: to even MOVE! Wow, I thought. I got up in between commercials and added 100 jumping jacks, and then another set of 57 jacks in another commercial, and then in another commercial 10 min. bike ride.

By then, pooped. Went to bed. Woke up this morning still stuffy nose, glands are a little less swelled. Appetite is still near non existent.

So the plan of attack today: 30 Meditate, Make a Green Bkfst juice, go for a run, come back and send out emails to all my previous clients wishing them well and giving them opportunity to take advantage of January promotions for hypnotherapy, (and if God allows tonight to send them all cards as well for the holidays. I really wanted to before the holiday but got really side tracked. -better late than never I think!), Clean my house, Go to the laundro mat to wash clothes (Gosh I wish I had a washer at home!), and go to the market to buy the needed spices for a TURKEY I am cooking on Friday. It's our postponed Christmas since my family has all been in Puerto Rico and are coming back Thursday. So I have PRESENTS for them all under my baby baby tree. :)

Gonna go Meditate now, so that I stick to the PLAN!
