No More Fast Weight Loss Diets – Simple Strategies for Easy Living

I have to admit, I have been in a little bit of a funk lately and this morning I was looking for a way to get myself out of it! Also since I have a tendency to be an emotional eater and because I have been in my funk, I have to admit I have put back on some pounds that I worked so hard to loose.

Everyone is into challenges these days. I certainly know that I am more motivated by pleasure rather than by pain. I also want to keep things simple!

Here’s my “Ah-Ha” for today. Every morning when I wake up I have chance for a “Do Over!” Forget about what I did yesterday, last week, last year or anytime in the past! I have another opportunity to start RIGHT NOW! TODAY!

This morning as I was thinking about what I was going to eat first, I thought, “Why not challenge myself to see how well I can eat for just one day?”

Since all we have we really have is one day at a time, one bite of food or sip of a drink at a time, why not eat healthy one day at a time?

In the past when I would think about loosing weight, I would start by review the many options of fast weight loss diets. I would say to myself, “I need to loose 20 pounds by this next big event date (class reunion, conference, birthday).” I would get out my calendar, find my event date and count back to the day I would need to start my diet to be at a certain weight by that day. Then I would hunker down and make a strict dieting plan to loose the weight fast. I could and would be tenacious about it for that period of time.

However, once the event passed, guess what happened? You guessed it! The weight slowly crept back on because I would go back to my old unhealthy eating habits and stop exercising.

Maybe this is a clue as to why I am constantly thinking about ways to take off that same 20 pounds yet once again. I am convinced fast weight loss diets don’t work for me in the long run.

My new eating strategy starts today! I believe this is the best weight loss plan for me. I am going to concentrate on what I eating TODAY and what am I going to do to move my body a little more TODAY! I am also going to begin tracking my food and exercise. (A great app for tracking is myfitnesspal). And that’s it!

I believe when I take these three simple actions (consciously choose the food in put into my mouth, move more & track), the rest will take care of itself!

This may not be a revelation for you. For me, I need to and want to keep it simple. I want to incorporate more simple strategies for easy living in my life!

Who’s with me? I would love to hear your thoughts about this and other ways you keep your life simple!

Piggyback Rides or Flying – You Choose

Posted on March 21, 2013 by Clare Dreyer Posted in Starting Over Success Strategies Leave a comment

: Spread your wings and fly!

As I was journaling this morning I had an “ah-ha.” My ah-ha had to do with taking piggyback rides.

Remember as kids, we used to want to have someone carry us around. We even gave each other piggyback rides.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have found myself being a little bit lazy and wanting others to carry me around. Certainly not physically anymore but carry me in other ways in my life.

What I find myself doing now is when I am feeling in that mode, I ask myself, “Is this something I can do and want to do for myself?” Usually the answer is, “YES!”

I make a decision to step up and spread my wings to fly. When I do, I find that not only am I capable of flying, I am a getting stronger and better in my flight everyday.

So…spread your wings and fly a little farther than you thought possible today!

Home is Where the Heart Is

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Clare Dreyer Posted in Starting Over Success Strategies Leave a comment

It is a challenge for my sons and me to be able to get together because of our schedules and where we live. We haven’t lived close to each other for the past 9 years.

Forrest, 27, is a pilot in the United States Air Force and is stationed in Germany. Alex, 25, lives in Tallahassee, FL and is going to Pharmacy Tech School. I live in Reno, NV, which is 3,000 miles away from my closest son.

Last week I had the opportunity to spend a few days with them in a beautiful condo I rented for us in Jacksonville Beach, FL.

The morning after my sons arrived, I got up early. When I walked into the living room I felt a deep sensation of love flood into my heart. Tears ran down my cheeks as I looked around the room and saw a pair of well-worn leather sandals in one corner, a sweatshirt thrown over a chair and various other signs that my children and I were together again.

I thought about them sleeping quietly in their bedrooms, one on the floor above me and one on the floor below me. I felt gently cocooned in a bubble of comfort, peace and tranquility just knowing they were there.

It is hard living so far apart and yet, these are the paths we have chosen for our lives. I try not to envy other families that live close to each other where they can come over for dinner or just hang out or go shopping together any time they want. I am not naïve in thinking that having your family close can’t also have its challenges. I just appreciate and cherish every moment I get to spend with mine.

Another consequence of the lifestyles we have chosen is we don’t have a family home to come back to with a lifetime of memories in it. So, we make our lifetime memories wherever we are. For us, wherever we are, we are home and home is where the heart is.

I LOVE Mornings

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Clare Dreyer Posted in Starting Over Success Strategies 2 Comments

Many of you know…

I LOVE mornings!

It is my quiet time to do whatever I want to do. Today I am working with a new mantra for my mornings.

I am asking myself:

“What can I do in this moment that

I can not or will not do or be able to do later?

How can I maximize this gift of time that is just for me?”

I have tried focusing on my time before however, I have to admit, I have not been doing such a great job of holding myself to doing this.

I get sidetracked with shiny objects. Doing laundry, playing on Facebook…you know I love reconnecting in the morning, taking pictures and posting them of the sunrise (my children make fun of me about this one)

Our last sunrise while on our Florida vacation.

checking email when I first get up…really?…turning on the TV (even though I don’t really want it on) and the list goes on.

What I am committed to doing and I am declaring it to you is that I am going to do some form of exercise every morning, and continue with meditating, journaling and having a healthy breakfast before I get ready to go to work.

I am sure I will slip a peak into my email and Facebook but only after I have taken the time to do the things that will continue to move me forward in the direction I really want to go in my life first.

What about you? What gift could you give yourself if you focused on a little bit of “you/me” time every day?

Unintended Positive Consequences

Posted on March 13, 2013 by Clare Dreyer Posted in Starting Over Success Strategies 3 Comments

I am on vacation in Jacksonville Beach, Florida from Reno, Nevada. As I was walking on the beach this morning I wrote a note in the sand to my sweet hubby. He isn’t here with me. I took a picture of it and sent it to him in a text message. I was just trying to sweet.

Then I started thinking about all of the pictures I see people post of writings in the sand and I thought I would write some of my own sayings and take pictures of them to use later.

I guess I was getting a little carried away with my idea. I would find different kinds of shells to use and experiment with different styles of writing with my sayings. I was having a really good time! I was feeling very present and just having fun.

As I bent down and was writing one more saying, a lady out for her morning walk passed by and said, “I have been reading these along the way. Thanks! “

It just goes to show you never know how what you are doing is going to impact someone’s life!

Do you have the COURAGE to start over when life has kicked you in the pants?

Posted on November 18, 2012 by Clare Dreyer Posted in Starting Over Success Strategies Leave a comment

There is a way I can fulfill my true purpose in life.

About 9 months ago, I was doing some reflective writing and what was given to me from the universe was a way to help women that are starting over. I, like so many, have had to start over so many times in my life. I am not sure why we as women think that once we go through something, we won’t have it happen to us again. I call it our amnesia factor which is why we have more than one child. Like childbirth – we conveniently forget about the pain we experience bringing a child into this world so we will have another one.

Like many of you, I have been through divorces, child custody battles, becoming an empty-nester, financial troubles and being laid off. Each time, somehow I landed on my on feet, like a cat. Even though having to start over wasn’t easy, I always felt there was something in me that helped me get through those rough times.

What I discovered was that each time I started over, it was having COURAGE that really helped me face the difficult times and push through the fog.

So…as I received this download of information while I was journaling a few months ago, the word COURAGE became a workshop to help other women who either had been through the same thing and were looking for a way to take the next step in their life. I developed a 7-Step COURAGE Formula workshop to help women get more of what makes their HEART SING!

I was listening to a meditation today by Deepak Chopra and he talked about having what makes your HEART SING. When I heard that I nearly fell out of my lotus position! My heart almost jumped out of my chest.

I looked at is as a sign that I am on the right track to helping lift other women up with this program. I am almost ready to bring it out into the world. I am putting the finishing touches on it.

As I mentioned, I have been doing it as a workshop locally with GREAT success. Actually the ladies going through it have had more transformation and success than I could have ever imagined.

My vision is to have this as a class on the internet so anyone, anywhere can participate and play!

I am thankful today to Deepak for bringing this message to me and all of the other thousands of people who needed permission to be working in their genius and to allow ourselves to have more of what makes our hearts sing!

Namaste
