strange satisfaction ..

I'm developing a  habit of surfing the EP blogs and dropping in encouragement to my fellow dieters out there and in turn you are all giving me a such very strange sense of satisfaction, motivation and encouragement without even saying a word.  I feel a sense of belonging here .. like you guys know what I'm saying and going through.

I'm sitting here thinking .. when I drop into your blog with a "you can do it!  I know you can!"  what I'm also doing is speaking to and encouraging myself .. motivating myself  .. making myself accountable .. if I say it to you it must also go for me right?  Something to think about for me.

I did something awesome today ... I'm bored .. I'm sick of surfing .. the kids are doing crafts therefore have no interest in me ... I certainly have NO DESIRE to do housework .. hubby's watching sports and currently shovelling and I didn't know what to do with myself .. so I hopped my as up on my treadmill and did my C25K Week 1 Workout 3. yeah baby!  I WORKED OUT.

Then I had some brushetta on 8 whole wheat crackers (recipe in the You ON a Diet Group) and a cup of soup ..

Anyone want a son?  I got three to spare who are fighting non stop at the moment.  I'll throw in a 130 pound hairy freakin' dog just for kicks too.

No Thanks!

on the offer for the kids and the dog.  However, thanks very much for making me laugh.

Best regards!

And I love the encouragement!

Love surfing blogs too.  Some are just so funny.

Yes, thanks for the welcoming note :)

The comment you left on my blog was lovely. Thank you very much! I'm looking forward to making friends on here and having a lot of support. Looks like I'll find heaps!

Sense of Satisfaction

I know what you mean about the sense of satisfaction. What you said makes sense, about having it be true for other people means it has to be true for you. If you are giving them support or telling them something informative, you are telling them something you know is true. Therefore, your consciousness feels that it is true for you as well, which is, in fact, true.

I'll pass on the three boys. Thanks though, that's thoughtful of you. I know that you must have thought of a few things, at least , to do with them before coming up with offering them to us

Big hugs,
Natalie

LOL

I've got three nephews who I can give back - that's plenty for me!!

I totally agree about leaving comments on people's blogs - especially if it's in the evening or something when I would normally pick at food, or feeling like I'm slipping.  I have to think to myself that if I believe others can do it, why can't I??  The answer is that I can .. I just need to stay focussed!

Thanks!

Thanks for your comment! Great job on the workout! I know how hard it can be to start running but once you do, it's an addiction!!

Where in Canada are you from? Maybe the same area since we too have A LOT of snow. When will it end?

And about the sons, well if you have a baby maybe I'd take him. lol. I like cute kids. Have a great Sunday!

Thanks

Thanks for the good advice you posted me.  Your right, I would rather lose weight, than lose a lung.

I'll say No Thank You for the 3 kids, and dog!  Your really funny.(lol)

I have been surfing the blogs too!  It's fun to meet new people!  We are all in this together. We are all going through the same things so its easy to reach out to one another!

Sounds like you had a Great Workout!!!  Good for you.  Keep up the good work!

I'll talk to you again soon.
