What do you attract?

Busy day at work today but I'm taking the time to post before I run out of time.

Not much exciting happened over the weekend, it was just nice to be off. It was so hot and humid (still is) which made me not want to exercise but I knew I had to force myself to do it. I'm reading this really good book so I wouldn't let myself read any of it until I walked at least two miles.  I was dripping with sweat afterward but yet I felt refreshed and glad that I forced myself to do it. I came home and rewarded myself with reading my book - not food. The scale was down .8 this morning ;)

I made some egg cups (baked in a cupcake pan) yesterday that I can grab all week for a quick breakfast before work. I made two kinds: baby portabella mushrooms, fresh tyme and muenster cheese and the other kind is Canadian bacon and cheddar. They are both really good.

Do any of you watch Super Soul Sunday on OWN Sunday mornings? There are some really great shows on there that talk about meditation, zen habits, self improvement, how to live a happy(er) life and so on. I love it and watch every Sunday. If these kind of topics interest you, I urge you to check it out; it's all day Sunday - hour long shows all day starting early in the morning. Some of the shows are very spiritual. Yesterday one of the shows talked about the Law of Attraction.  I truely believe this and alot of these principals can be directed toward weight loss. We'll become what we envision so it is very important to keep a positive mindset and keep telling ourselves that we are doing this. Have you ever heard that quote, "If you think you can't, you're right"? This is the same principal. Have you ever had a day where you felt fabulous and then noticed yourself getting checked out or receiving compliments? Same thing. We must focus on what we're doing right, even when we have a bad day. If we focus on bad things we ate or that we didn't exercise and beat ourselves up over it, we seem to stay in that rut and attract more of the same. (I'm guilty of this and am trying to stay more focus and positive.) When we're feeling good and doing everything right, we get in the "zone" and draw ourselves nearer to our goal. This can also apply to food - the more crap we eat, the more crap we want. The better we eat, the better we feel so we want to keep going. We can really dig deep into this subject, but you get the idea, right? Think positive things and positive things will happen ;)

A couple quotes/things that stuck with me from yesterdays shows:

Don't compare yourself to other people. Your real job in this world is to be you.

Your self worth is your job to cultivate.

When you find yourself thinking about something that you don't want to think about (maybe food) - let the thought pass like a cloud drifting across the sky or a log floating downstream. Just because the thought comes into mind doesn't mean that we have to act on it. Let it pass.

On another note - my beloved Mad Men had the season finale last night, ugh!  Now I have to wait until 2014 for the next season!!!  I'm going through withdrawal already. :(
