Wednesday was Hectic, But WildFit Is a Brilliant Success

My Wednesday off was the usual hectic day, although I skipped the co-op and only shopped at my local grocer. That shaved a good hour off my morning tasks, so it was a welcome change of pace. I'll try to shop at the co-op one or maybe two times a month. They have lovely produce and a spice selection that's unmatched, but it's a 40-minute round-trip drive and some days I just don't have the time. As it turned out, my usual lack of brain/thought/luck played through again, and I realized at 5:30 pm that I had forgotten to buy the lettuce for my nightly salad. I had to take a very quick drive over one more time, buy my lettuce and get back home. It's a good thing my local grocer is only a mile from my house. 






The produce section at my local grocer is huge and very 
well staffed/maintained. They have almost any vegetable 
or fruit you could imagine. I've expanded myself through 
WildFit, trying fruits and veggies I've never had before, 
and that's been a real treat. 



Monday starts the final week of WildFit and I'm going to miss it. Although many of us set up and joined a separate Facebook group so we could stay in touch with each other as a Tribe, it won't be the same. I think there is an after-program option also available called "Living WildFit" which I'll look into joining. That would offer monthly calls and lectures along with the ability to call on the coaches for help when/if needed. I can see some real benefits to that. 





I absolutely love the logo of WildFit. They have 
shirts available with it, and I think I'll indulge in 
one. I'm not sure if I want short sleeves, long 
sleeves, or maybe a hoodie. I'll have to think about that. 



I haven't done my "final" measurements yet, I'll do those tomorrow. I know I've lost inches, it's quite evident in how my clothes fit me as well as what the scale is telling me. But the photos and measurements are everything. According to the scale, I've lost 15 pounds since I started WildFit, and I'm quite pleased about that. I had been unable to work below a 5 pound loss for more than five years - just bounced in that weight range time after time. I've finally broken through that floor and continued down. It's been hard work, but it's also been very worth it. 




I have this class, "The M Word", starting on 
Sunday, the 16th. I probably won't really have 
time to watch anything until Monday, but maybe 
I will. It's hard to say. I'm not sure exactly what 
I'll learn in this class, but if I can improve my 
meditation techniques and breath control, 
I'll be pretty happy. 



I'll be glad to get through the final week, though. I have other programs starting up - one for meditation, and another on Energy Medicine that I've been taking for the past four weeks (although not with the attention it deserves because WildFit is so time consuming). I'd also like to continue on with the course that started it all - :"Be Extraordinary", which I stopped half-way through. I'm still meditating every morning - love it SO much - and all-in-all, the "whoo whoo" of MindValley and their classes is right where I want to be right now. I just don't have enough hours in the day to learn everything I want to. 




I've been taking Donna Eden's "Energy Medicine" class, and 
it's got some incredibly valuable techniques and ideas in 
it. I haven't had the chance to fully concentrate on it, though, 
and that's on me. Fortunately, once enrolled, I can always 
access everything on-line, and I'll be going back, with a 
new notebook, and working through this one in depth. 
There's so much to learn and she's an excellent teacher. 



On that note, I'm out of here. I think I'll treat myself to a nice cup of Roiboos tea this morning, something I rarely indulge in. I hope you have a wonderful Thursday and I'll be back tomorrow. As always, please be kind, stay safe and wear your mask. (And no, I didn't get to knitting yesterday, despite my saved time with grocery shopping. Oh well.)
