I have added a new twist to my exercise routine. Much to her dismay, I am now taking my little (not as little as she should be) Min-Pin, She-Ra out for a walk every morning. I’ve let her get overweight and she is not nearly as active as she used to be. Before I go for my workout each morning, I wake her up, put her harness on her and take her for a walk. She just looks at me with those big, sad eyes that say “Why ME?” and then reluctanly starts walking. We only go for about a block now, but I plan to increase the distance just a little each day until we can go several blocks. Every day in every way she will get better and better.
Since I completed first session with my volunteers of my trial e-course I’ve been hoping everyone is getting as much out of the programs as I am. Even though I have given this a lot of thought and have been working on my own self-image for a while, it is different when I plan to give the information in a comprehensive form to others – trying to convey my feelings and my experiences in a way that they can learn from- it is a great learning tool for me. I have learned more in these last few weeks of putting this course together than I ever thought I could – and in some areas, more than I learned by practicing the principles. I now know what is meant by “you can learn by teaching.”
I am also working on my articles so they can be published. I wrote several articles for a friend who was going to start a magazine for women – unfortunately that project didn’t get off the ground, but I still have the articles and I am rewriting them for publication. I have been doing a lot of research to learn just what needs to be done to get the word out in the “internet” public about my passion, “Weight Management” and it is a lot – but it is coming along. Soon I will get the hang of it and you will be hearing about me from several sources. I told you how technologically challenged I am – well, I still am. I didn’t tell you, but during my last teleconference call, I forgot to call the number that would allow me to record the session, so I had to do the entire session again, without the live interaction. I am now sitting down and spending no less than 15 minutes a day saying over and over again “Pay attention to the details”, “Pay attention to the details”, Pay attention to the details.” And this is paying off, because I now find myself stopping before I start anything and say “Pay attention to the details” and I find that I am not redoing everything two or three times. What a wonderful thing the mind is, huh?
Guess I’ll quit for now and get busy on my articles and my new e-book which will be made available to anyone who asks for it by the end of the month.
