Stressing about being stressed, rather counter-productive,isn't it? I should take a step back, look at the facts and see it differently. .

So my heart is humming and not in a good way, feeling very anxious. My blood levels are completely haywire. My new meds probably having an effect on my sleepy thyroid. BUT this may not be a bad thing. My meds are being adjusted and I just need to get out of the "getting-into-routine" stress phase. Needing to lower my thyroid meds (even if it's because of other meds) might mean that my metabolism is going in the right way. .

Still going to open mindedly and rationally look into this and have faith that not every frightening change is a bad one.

Mmmmm, getting a bit repetitive now. . so how about an unrelated riddle?
What travels all around the world but never leaves it's corner?(NO GOOGLING!! I will haunt you in your sleep. . )

PS: The main idea today is, be mindful, but make sure about what your mind is full of. Go well*

Woa. . look at the time! Just a quick pop-in before I do some cleaning up, shower and off to bed for me (before the internet magically eats more of my day).

Just realised It's been one month since I've started FS again and paying more attention to my nutrition. Woohoo! "Diet" monthaversary! Although saying it out loud does make it sound a bit awkward. . moving on. .

I would like to thank everyone for the support, comments and getting to know people who also value health (and yes, that was me practising for an Oscar acceptance speech, I'll be in my trailer).

PS: will weigh in again when I find an accurate scale, the one I have here and the one I used during the holidays show completely different numbers (or maybe I just tend to way myself later during the holidays?).Guess using their scale gives me another reason to drag myself to the gym

Go well and BE SOMEONE THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

Very exited! My mom bought me a cupcake maker so I can bake when I'm @ university. . already armed myself with a mini arsenal of healthy recipes.

The awesome part is: can also use the to make mini quiches, pies, savoury muffins, etc. Going to try out some "diet-friendly" cupcake recipes ASAP and let you know how it turns out.

I need to get into the habit of cooking regularly when I'm at my flat so I don't constantly eat the same "instant" meals everyday (and by that I mean cereal. . .loads and loads of cereal) or just get take-away.

Food will always be a part of your life, so commit to building healthy habits and a healthy mindset about what you put into your body. I spent way to much time in the past worrying about what and how much I should eat. I'm trying to teach myself to listen to my body and not just eat with my head. Balance is key.

It's not about what you're eating, but about what's eating you!

Go well, eat well and be happy*

Missed call and voice-mail from my doc. . can't reach him . . .test results not emailed to me. . (fast shallow breathing initiated).

Isn't it strange how our minds immediately start running with worst case scenarios? He probably just wanted to tell me everything is still fine, but somehow my brain didn't mind running with whatever might stress me out? Perhaps a biological survival mechanism?

It made me think how easily we can push aside all the positive thoughts and insights about ourselves and let it instantly be taken over by a tiny negative notion.

Even though we seemed programmed to fix what's wrong and face possible threats, that doesn't mean we shouldn't take a step back and see all the beauty, progress and health.

So take a breath and embrace your challenges, armed with experience, love, strength and support.

Go well and God Bless*
