Three Almost Totally Unrelated Thoughts

1st.  I just ate the best greek yogurt.  I don't really usually enjoy yogurt because of the texture, and greek yogurt is usually even worse, but in my search for a healthier alternative to satisfy my sweet tooth, I picked these up the other day:

Yoplait Greek yogurt with fruit on the bottom and granola mixer.  I almost licked the container clean.  YUM-O.  It has 230 calories, 12 grams of protein, and will hopefully fuel me during my run in a few minutes.

2nd.  Have you ever stopped to think about how losing x number of pounds will feel on your body?  Of course I think about how much better my body feels now, versus when I was hauling 327 pounds around on my 5'4" frame.  But, it never occurred to me to think there may actually be a difference in me weighing 170 versus 150.  What if there is?  That would be awesome.  We shall see.

3rd.  When is the last time you felt at peace?  Like, do you ever get this overwhelming sense of calm and peacefulness?  I do. It usually only lasts a few minutes, and I am not sure if this will scream CO-DEPENDENT or not, but it usually comes when I glance at Heather....I could be in the kitchen and she could be on the couch...and all I see is the back of her head...but I know in those few beautiful fleeting seconds, that I am at peace.  It is a wonderful feeling.  I should learn to try and hold on to it for longer periods of times.  And it's so hard to explain...it is certainly nothing I have experienced before...but it's this calm...no anxiety....no need to change...just this feeling that I am exactly where I need to be, doing exactly what I need to do.  I was wondering if a majority of others felt this from time to time.  I sure hope so.

Off to run babycakes!

  1. I feel that way even when Im doing something simple like make my family dinner or do night time stories. It is pretty amazing.

  2. Yup! Love is the best feeling in the world. I feel that way a lot at night when I have put my kids to sleep and finished all my chores. Then I go kiss all my children on the head while they sleep and thank God for all the love in my life <3

  3. I am also at a point in my life where I am at peace... it's a good feeling. I think it also has something to do with my gal... she is amazing and so supportive.

    Peace is nice, isn't it?

    Happy New Year!

  4. Aren't these great? I tried them for the first time last week. Check out the Yo-Crunch Greek Parfait too. Yum!

  5. I *love* those moments of clarity when you are so happy just being in the moment, that you wouldn't change a thing. LOVE IT!

  6. Those moments have been few and far between lately but I think that's because of me and where my head's at these days. :)

  7. I feel that way when both my bulldogs are on my lap snoring and I'm holding hands with my girl on the couch. Perfection.

  8. I know what you mean... I feel the same when I look at my D. It's a content, "all is well" feeling. :)

  9. Yes. I get that feeling from time to time. I live in the "Most Beautiful Place in America" the Sleeping Bear Dunes area of Michigan. There are times I see an eagle fly and I am breathless with that sense of awe and peace. I get it. I really do.
