with me 1 comment from blogging everything changes or dies even this blog july 29 2009 this blog started out as a place to showcase my sewing i still love to sew the only problem is that my life has changed so dramatically in the last 18 months that i rarely sew anymore i feel like the name of my blog is a misnomer it s also a pun and i know at least one person caught that when they first saw my blog title i ve found that more and more i want to write and share about things other than sewing i know you re like duh i want to talk about weight loss running walking bicycling decorating style philosophy and life events i feel like the format i ve created on little miss sew n sew doesn t work for that even though i ve been doing writing about all those things here i have this weird guilt feeling every time i post about something that s not sewing silly i know i guess that s just the web designer in me i feel like my website needs to reflect who i am and correspond with the purpose of the site also there are a huge number of really good sewing blogs out there and those whose skills are far better than mine that i don t feel a need to compete or create a sewing blog that gets thousands of visitors and comments consequently i ve started a completely new website with my own domain ta da www cadenceoflife com my new website still needs some work and tweaking on the visual format and for now i m double posting here and there some of my favorite posts from this blog and other blogs i ve started and let lapse will be moved over to the new site and my goal is that my new site will be the sole place where i post and provide a more comprehensive journal and resource for anything related to living my life i don t want to feel limited by guilt that i m not posting about just sewing what will happen to this blog i ll keep it as a place to document any sewing i do maybe over time i ll blog about sewing on my new site and let this one go completely i haven t decided yet i believe that everything in life changes and grows or else it withers and dies the same goes with blogs i m changing and growing too and i want to reflect that properly in my new website i hope you ll follow me over there too i appreciate all my bloggy friends and readers even those who lurk and don t comment i hope that you continue to find something useful here or at www cadenceoflife com that you can use and take with you 2 comments from attitude blogging random things to do when starting to lose weight july 26 2009 tags weight loss weight watchers some of my family and friends have started their own weight loss journey and i ve offered my support of course and encouragement there are three things i recommend doing at the very beginning of this process that i didn t do myself and i regret not doing them right away these things are well worth the effort in the long run start a weight loss notebook i used a three ring binder and in this i put my weight watchers materials favorite recipes i ve printed from online notes goals inspiring pictures from magazines and such i prefer a binder with page protectors but you could also use a computerized notebook such as microsoft one note or any other software take your picture take a full length picture and a side view picture perhaps even a back view this will be your before picture it won t be your most flattering picture the point is to take an honest assessment of your starting point take your measurements this will be if you are like i was very painful to do to really know what those hip thigh or waist measurements are when you start isn t going to be pleasant but trust me down the line you ll wish you had done this and don t go squeezing the tape measure to get the smallest number either been there done that you want an honest measurement remember i recommend taking the following measurements neck under arms just above bust full bust under bust waist hips 4 from waist this is called the high hip hips 7 from waist or the fullest part of your hips thighs fullest part above knee calf fullest part ankle retake your picture and measurements every four to six weeks why at some point in your weight loss journey you will hit a plateau it happens to everyone your weight loss will stall at the scale you won t be seeing any forward downward progress and you ll wonder what is wrong usually you ll need to recheck what you re eating or increase your activity that worked for me when this time hits you will be able to go back and see the progress in real numbers and pictures not just in the fact that your clothes are looser or smaller for me this has been a huge incentive at those times to keep on going when you can go back and see three or four inches lost from your hips you feel energized to keep doing what you re doing keeping a record of your entire journey this way really helps you to see how far you ve come and for me is inspiration to not slide backward along the way when i hit my goal this will also serve as a record of just what i ve accomplished hope this helps 2 comments from weight loss weight loss tips weight watchers managing stress when life happens july 25 2009 how does the saying go when life hands you lemons well sometimes i think life throws a fast pitch or life jerks on but doesn t pull out the rug under your feet so that you can test your balance and reflexes i don t believe in the notion that life is full of misery or that life just sucks entirely the opposite however i do believe that because we are all interconnected choices other people make in life affect us and force us to check ourselves our motives our philosophies and our faith this week has been one of those weeks for me at the beginning of the week my youngest daughter came home with some news that really rocked my world and i ll probably share those details later but not now i have been processing this internally all week and how what s going on with her affects me i ve been happy sad doubtful faithful confused probably every emotion possible one thing it did surface for me was an appreciation for my parents and what they must have felt when i was a young adult making choices and decisions that they really had no control over they loved me and only wanted the best for me and had to let go and have faith that god was looking out for me i am doing the same for my daughter she will find her way in the world and hopefully she will know that all along the way she has her mother and sister by her side in addition to my world rocking news i have had a rough week at work i ve had to do my job of editing and managing a small team of writers plus cover for my boss who has been on vacation i ve had to manage a phase of our project through to publication not knowing much about the company s tools or processes and had to learn on the fly this coupled with worrying about my daughter has stressed me out beyond belief how have i managed the stress i had set a goal at the beginning of the week to do some sort of activity every day this week early in the week i walked and ran three miles each day and then a four mile walk no run so it was easier on wednesday thursday was another walk easy one and yesterday was a lot of yard work mowing pulling weeds this all counts for activity i have learned that activity and exercise really helps relieve stress that coupled with eating right which i ve been trying to do also really reduces the impact stress has on my body in previous years this level of stress would have caused a flare up of my fibromyalgia to the point that i would be unable to do anything for a couple days not so today for this i am extremely grateful i also try to focus on the positive the more i practice focusing on the positive and finding the blessing in things the easier it becomes to feel it in my bones and to know that no matter what i m always going to be okay i have a deep faith that life is meant to be good and that god never gives me more than i can handle this doesn t mean i don t cry don t get hurt don t feel angry or frustrated at times i do because i m human i just don t let myself get carried away by those emotions the more i act as if life is always happy and joyous even if i don t 100 believe it in the moment the more it truly turns out that way life isn t always smooth waters sometimes you have to jump the wake or ride it and in doing so you feel the blessing of life living feeling experiencing creating memories it s all good 9 comments from activity attitude exercise family fitness fun stuff gratitude life
