Day 214 in my miracles life

No More Dairy free

I did it, i am a much stronger person than i thought i was because i did it.  I lasted 20 days without dairy.  It didnt really help my weight loss, it didnt really solve my stomach aches, but i did it….

This morning as i sipped my latte that i have dreamed about for at least a week, i realised that while i love dairy too much to give it up completely, taking 20 days off from dairy has given me a new take on it.  I dont need dairy, i dont need milk in my coffee, and i dont need a latte… I can handle not having cottage cheese in my salad and i can handle not having eggs every day, and i guess though the 20 days i have learned a new habit – black coffee, i have a new appreciation for straight black coffee, while i love a latte – i like a black coffee as well.

I know that the more i hold back on weekends the more likely it is that i will loose the last of my weight quicker, but for now in my happiness i will enjoy my masi tripple shot skinny latte each Saturday morning, and i will enjoy some cheese for lunch and some eggs for dinner…. But i will always remember that i CAN do it, and if i put my heart too it when we come back from our mini break next week i just know that i will drop the final three kilos & be able to begin maintaining the healthy lifestyle i now live…

Carpe Diem….

COURAGE

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new….  But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.

There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power…

Day 205 in my miracles life

Day 12 Dairy free

My heart hasnt stopped racing, and my head hasnt stopped whirling around, my mind overwhelmed with what ‘could have’ happened, and what dire consequences may have been install for me.

I would never forgive myself, and i am still so worried that the thought of ‘what if’ may never leave my mind…. And if i wasnt already too overprotective before, i will be even more so now…

This morning the routine went on as it does each and every day, my miracle enjoyed her weetbix and i watched the morning news show… But this morning was different, this morning as i carelessly spooned the mushed up goo into my baby’s mouth i neglected to see a large piece go in…

Before i knew it my baby was choking… Not a little cough, not just a little piece of food caught, but she couldnt breath, she couldnt cry, her eyes almost popping out of her head, her face so red… & me…

My heart is still racing and my mind still overwhelmed by what actually happened, and my thoughts just turning to… What if?

I am just SO lucky that i have read the books, and just SO lucky that i knew what to do… But what if it hadnt worked? What if if had been someone else who didnt know to turn her to her front and hit her back? What if the food hadnt come out? What if it hadnt been enough? What if i couldnt have saved my baby girl?

How could i ever live with that?

If i wasnt overprotective before, if i wasnt already uptight before, i am going to be even more so now…  Because i just cant imagine the unimaginable…

COURAGE

Courage is not the lack of fear it is acting in spite of it
