A thought ..

I just read the most fantastic post this morning on a blog I read: http://www.facebook.com/alreadypretty

Pre-requisites for Beauty

You do not have to be tall to be beautiful.
You do not have to be thin or long-limbed.
You do not have to have long, straight, shiny hair.
You do not have to be an hourglass or a string bean or a pear.
You do not have to be blemish-free, without freckles, scars, or tattoos.
You do not have to fit or demolish certain physical paradigms.
You do not have to be buxom to be beautiful.
You do not have to possess va-va-voom curves or full lips.
You do not have to resemble a movie star, or a lingerie model, or a porn star.
You do not have to sexualize your exterior to be beautiful.
You do not have to neuter your exterior to be beautiful.
You do not have to wear makeup to be beautiful.
You do not have to wear skirts and heels.
You do not have to cover your grays or disguise your cellulite.
You do not have to shun or accept practices of dressing or personal presentation.
Beauty is not definite, it is relative.
Beauty is not exclusive, it is infinite.
Beauty is not for others, it is for you.
And to be beautiful, all you have to be is you, you, you.

So very true ..

From: Positive People - Making a difference

“No matter what difficulty you are facing, it is coming from Divine Light to bring you to a higher place within. Write down every conceivable reason that this situation can contribute towards your growth. Write down every way this experience can possibly set the stage for serving to uplift others. When you are complete, and have come to the other side of this experience, you will then know 'why' it happened.” ~ Barbara Rose

A new song to like :-)

"I Don't Want To Be" - Gavin DeGraw
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from
[Chorus:]
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned!
[Chorus]
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
[Chorus]
I don't want to be [x4]

New day .. new hair colour ..

As a treat for hitting the next decade (for weight) .. not age ..lol ..

This was my treat to myself ..

 

 

The weight-loss week that was ..

..overall was an up and down week ..

..started some new minerals (Calcium/Magnesium and Selenium combo) for my headache .. and had a couple of celebrations - dinner out for our 15th Wedding anniv and then a BBQ for a 50th  ..

.. so Thursday I didn't even bother tracking .. although most of the day until dinner was on track .. then came dinner .. and well ...

..the BBQ .. again did quite well during the day .. and then allowed for the alcohol and diet Bundaberg drinks .. but think I did quite well on the eating .. as stuck mostly to the salads:-)

..so in the end was 700g down ..

..well weighed myself first thing and it was only 300g .. and then for some reason thought I'd re-weigh myself .. and lo and behold it was another 400g down .. so re-checked and it was the same .. so went back and re-weighed after lunch .. and same thing ..

..so will take it as 700g loss .. so am now at 68.8 kg .. 3.8kg off my "first" goal .. and 1.5 kgs off what I got down to last time I was losing weight ..
