Something Good This Way Comes...

What else would you do since you are in a R with yourself? LOL! Wait! Stop! Don't tell me!!!!

I came across a book tonight that I'll just have to read. It's by Byron Katie and it's titled "Loving What Is", I'm sure it's going to be an awesome read!

Byron Katie is AMAZING. Her inquiry process is what helped me deal with my H's EA and let go of a lot of stuff I was holding on to. Great stuff.

I came across it while reading The Myth of Stress by Andrew Bernstein, who apparently got his start working with and promoting her method The Work. It's cognitive stuff that helps you reduce anxiety and negative emotions by approaching your issue in a paradoxical approach. For example, "I should not be alone" gets turned into "In reality, I should be alone at this time" and then you proceed to list all the reasons why the opposite of your anxiety/concern is in fact true. I just started it last night and much of the book is practising the process. There are worksheets you can download from his website mythofstress.com, if anyone is interested. He's also on facebook ActivInsight. Anyway, that's where I got Byron Katie from. Whatis can't wait to read Loving What is!LOL. I ordered it, should be here in less than a week and by then I should be done with Bernstein's book.

Conferences went so well last night! Nathan is doing third grade math in 2nd grade and reading at 4th grade level. For the next set of assessments, his teacher is giving him the third grade test instead of second grade. Apparently he read the passage in 38 seconds and got all of the questions right!

Sydney is doing very well, too, with one exception. She is sassy (wonder where she gets that??) which the teacher loves, but she only listens to the teacher, not the two assistants. Naughty, naughty...

Doing the conferences with Dan was no problem, we got along just fine and even teased each other during Sydney's. The teacher is awesome and she made me laugh so hard and then we all made each other laugh, all of us being sarcastic...

Tomorrow is the last night of conferences, then I get a blissful day off!!!

Re:Tofu

uh....if it takes on the flavors of...whatever....why not just eliminate the middleman and pass the savings directly on to yourself? I mean, what's the point, really?

I seriously don't get it when people claim that tofu is "delicious." It most certainly is not!

16 oz of Porterhouse steak is delicious.

[TimeHeals]

Umm.. the porterhouse steak is high in saturated fat.

Just saying. They're both decent protein sources, but the steak has a lot of saturated fat.

[Kimmie Lee]

Yeah, I know that. What does my opinion on "flavor" have to do with saturated fat?

I was just saying to please not B.S. me about tofu being "delicious." It's not.

The only way it could possibly be "delicious" is if it were wrapped in some Kobe beef.

[BobbiJo]

Yum! I love Kobe beef.... used to eat it all the time when Dan sold the Wagyu back in Idaho...

Now my beef sources are lean ground beef and sirloin. Good enough! And I also eat cottage cheese and chicken and eggs...so plenty of protein choices.

[mishka422]

Good for you on the weight loss and body fat reduction!!! AWESOME!

Oh how I would love a nice BIG steak.....yum! I haven't had one in the last few years. No, not because I'm on some health kick (which I should be at all times but can't seem to manage) but because it's too darned expensive! Tofu is cheap protein at least. Of course, this last weekend I bought 10lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast (more great protein) because it was on a super sale and the girl at the checkout looked at me like I was insane. It all balances out, right? LOL

You made me laugh.
