New iPod and New Lisa

Even though Saturday is my favourite day of the week - I am happy that Friday is here.

I've got big plans for myself this weekend. I want to get lots of activity in - perhaps another 2.5 hour walk and even a couple yoga classes.

I have to say - I am addicted to activity. I feel as though I have almost replaced my obsessive compulsive behavior for food with activity. I don't think it is necessarily bad to have an "obsessive personality" - so long as you channel that obsessiveness in the right direction.

For the most part, I no longer have the urge to eat and eat and eat some more, either out of routine, habit, or to supress some sort of emotion. Now - when I have a bad day, or am feeling anxious - I get my arse to the gym, and surprisingly I feel much better after kicking my arse on the elliptical than I used to feel after eating an entire bag of chips, ice cream, downing a bottle of wine or eating a family-sized serving of pasta in cream sauce.

So, in celebration of my new found love for activity and, essentially, a NEW ME - I got myself a new ipod, check me out:



I am content with my lifestyle at this moment. I have slowed down on the gym schedule a little bit since I first started this journey - but I still crave activity, so have been mixing it up with different kinds of activity.

Yoga, as you well know is my favorite - by far - it's almost therapeutic for me. As someone who craves balance, how could I not like yoga?

It's like I have been saying all along - it's all about balance, and folks - I am finding my way - I am!

I can't believe how different of a person I am from 6 months ago - I am a more confident person who has a strong sense of self-worth - something I faked having at 233 lbs. Fake no more my friends - I've got it. I am important and I KNOW IT!
