CHOICES.... What a strong word it is.,,, We can do a lot with Choices. This word allows us to make decisions that will influence us in so many ways... some good and some bad. Although I try to make the right Choices, I often find myself making the wrong ones, throughout the day and week. The great thing about this word, is that it is never ending. So even when I make the wrong choice, I can turn around and make a better one!
Since I have been to the Choices program, it has taught me how to make the Choices that hopefully, will set me on the right track , to a more fulfilled life.
Here a few key things I have learned, through the journey of Choices, and if used they Will help me live the best life possible..
A favorite " IF BETTER IS POSSIBLE, IS GOOD GOOD ENOUGH?"
" THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON THE QUESTIONS YOU ASK YOURSELF."
"TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF SO YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF OTHERS"
"WHAT I FEAR I CREATE!"
" WHAT IS THE WORST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN?"
MY FAVORITE.." IF I DO WHAT I'VE ALWAYS DONE I'LL GET WHAT I'VE ALWAYS GOT!
"BE COMMITTED, TO DO WHAT IT TAKES, TO HAVE WHAT YOU WANT!"
There are many more things I learned as well, and am trying to use then in my daily life. Choices taught me to look deep into myself, acknowledge what I dont like, and accept what I do like. The whole process of Choices, is unlike anything I have ever experienced and can not even put into words how wonderful this program is. I look forward to going again in Feb, to continue on my journey....

For seeing clouds...
It's just the way I am.
I don't mean to wander off,
I think it's my genetics.
I really want to listen ,
and look straight into your eyes.
But then I see the clouds,
Those darn floating clouds.
I wish I could explain it,
and change the way I tick.
So I could just sit and
listen to everyone's chatter.
and let you know you matter
You do, you really do..
But those clouds keep creeping in.
It's not my fault
I'm sorry...
I truly do apologize.
Those darn floating clouds.
2011 is here! 2010 was a pretty good year for me, so many happy times and memories. I hope 2011 will be the same.
I am a goal setter, by nature, and a list maker, so naturally I have new goals for 2011. I always have the fitness goals , although , as I am getting older, they are not as hard as they used to be. My main fitness goal, is to exercise one hour a day. Trying to make sure that at least 3x a week I run, once a week yoga, and boot camp 1-2 times,and of course walking as much as I can. I also am trying to snow shoe, or xcountry ski once a week. It doenst matter the order, of these activities, I just need to try to do them. The real challenge this year, will be to get to 130 and maintain it, before June. We are going to be in Kelowna, for a month, and I want to be bikini ready. This is not easy for me at all. I also hope, that Mike will get on board and lose some weight as well.
On a personal note, I am going to try to be a "happier" me. I am hoping, that once I go to Choices, next week, I will gain some insight, on how do this, and to become a calmer more peaceful person. I want to be a better Mom, wife and friend. I want to learn to love the life I have and not search for something else.
There are other goals as well, learn to crochet, take 2 hikes that I havnt done, maybe belly dance, take a small trip with friends, and learn to cook something new .
Bring on 2011!
