WOW what a difference
This was a busy weekend and what an awesome weekend it was- WOW I really noticed a huge difference in so many things.
First off my boss and I attended a Chiropractic Seminar in The Poconos Mountains of PA. We left our office at 10:30 Saturday morning and were back at his house by 10 Sunday Morning- Yes 410 miles round trip in 24 hours. WOW.
The last time we did a trip like this was in March of 08- I was so exhausted after that trip that I spent 2 days in bed asleep. I am not saying I didn’t take a 2 hour nap today- because I did. That was more due to the fact that I did not sleep well last night- I don’t like hotel beds and the AC in the room was not working well so it was a very HOT night. I tend to keep my bedroom on the cooler side. But after my nap today- I cleaned the apartment, did errands, did the laundry, played with Ariel and now I am writing my blog. Totally not exhausted.
The other difference was how I sat in the car I was driving. On trips like this one I get to drive my boss’ sports car- it’s so nice. It used to be that I would have to have not only the seat in the far back setting, but I would have to have the seat back leaning all the way back just so I could get behind the wheel. Not this time- I had the seat straight up.
This was a majestic trip the view was incredible. There is something to be said for a car that will climb a 2600 foot elevation at 82 mhp while being driven with 1 hand and NOT sway 1 bit.
When I was a kid there was a commercial that sang – See the USA in A Chevrolet. Well I don’t care what kind of vichele you are in- seeing the USA is amazing.
Here are a few “Road trips from “
• Stop every 2 hours and get out –walk around for 10 minutes
• When you stop every 2 hours- go to the bathroom whether you feel you have to go or not- this will help prevent bladder and kidney issues.
• I keep a rolled up towel under my thighs and shifts its position ever so often – this changes the pressure on the spine.
• Allow yourself plenty of time to get from point A and point B
• Enjoy the journey as much as you do the destination.
Enjoying this journey- where every it takes me.

Your body knows
Your Body KNOWS!
Your body knows what it need and when it needs it- your body is a heal regulating self healing organism.
Your body or rather you innate intelligence knows EXACTLY what it needs when it needs it- we however have to interpret what those signals mean.
Did you know that many times your body sends your brain a signal that its thirst but you interpret it as Hungary and eat instead of drinking water?
Yawning is another innate signal- for Oxygen.
Your body tells you to sleep by sending you the “I’m tired signal”
Pain is innate way of telling you something is wrong
Fever is innate way to of getting rid of bacteria or infection
All of our bodies are amazing that way. Yes sometimes our bodies need some help- there is nerve interference which a chiropractor can help eliminate, this should always be the first option in my opinion. There are times when your body needs the intervention of a cardiologist, an MD, or other specialist.
This past Wednesday night – after being adjusted and having a very swollen lymph node, behind my left ear worked on- I suddenly had a fever, I came home- get some bottled water and went to bed. I listened to my body and did what my body wanted.
Do you listen to your body? Do you listen when your body tells you it’s full or do you keep eating? Do you feed your body when it really needs water?
Remember the power that made the body will heal the body.
Listening is a big part of this journey.

Are you alive?
Are you alive?
I do not mean do you have a heart beat or brain function- clearly you have both or you would not be reading this. I am talking about are you living or existing?
When I was younger I would tell folks my weight doesn’t stop me- and for the most part in my teens, twenties and early thirties it really didn’t. But then as you all know life took some interesting twists for me – and I slowed down, eat, and slowed down even more. By the time Edward passed away – I was in my early forties and felt awkward and uncomfortable doing things. Sure I still traveled for work, but for the most part I found excuses NOT be social.
When I started thinking about the last couple of weeks, I realize how much that has changed. Last weekend my boss and I hosted a Chiropractic mastermind meeting at our office. This meant we spent Saturday running around getting the needed supplies for the lunch. Sunday all day I was at the office having a great time. This Thursday I attended a cocktail party hosted by a couple of friends where my boss and I met with a new Web designer. Friday night friends Dave and Rich were in a comedy showcase which was a lot of fun, and Saturday afternoon was my longest friend Jeff and his family’s good bye party as they are soon moving to Texas. I had a great time at all these events. It occurred to me that 2 years ago I would have found excused to NOT attended any of these events.
These days I want to be more active. As I blogged a while ago I am still trying to figure out how to make friends at this age. I watch shows like Sex in the City and long for that kind of female camaraderie, that kind of bonding and friendship. But I am living my life and enjoying it completely.
My weight loss hero Richard Simmons blogged the other day about are you hiding from the world or are you engaging in living? I feel like I am starting to engage in living again.
This journey is so much fun.

Intentions
Intentions
What are your intentions? This is a question Young ladies’ Dads ask of their suitors. But it is much much deeper than that. Your intentions are your under lying thoughts, what you want out of what you say and do.
My intentions when I started this weight loss journey were never# on the scale, or a dress size. My intention is to be healthy, happy and mobile.
Intentions apply to everything you do- we had this great meeting at our office today- a Chiropractic mastermind- we talked lot about intention – intention of everything we do.
Some of my intentions in life are:
To be a good friend to my friends. I love them all- it was awesome being with some of them today and I missed the ones that could not join us
To see my nephews graduate from High School, college, get married and have kids that drive them as crazy as they make their parents
To be re-married
To be a life/health coach and help others achieve their dreams
So I ask tonight- What is your intention? Your intention in every aspect of your life. Make sure to know and are certain of it before you embark on anything ….
Remember to always have an intention not a destination on this journey.
Love and laughter.
