Yay! The weight loss (fat loss) journey is over! I've reached my goal of less than 18% body fat and just this morning clocked in at 65.4kg .. which is the leanest and lightest I've been in the last 15 years. And is also about 17kg lighter than my heaviest weight of 83kg. So needless to say, I'm pretty thrilled this morning!
In addition to the physical goal, I also received an excellent job offer yesterday .. which I will accept. It's a challenging and interesting role, giving me free rein in setting up the commercial side of the business from scratch .. quite exciting! It's a mining joint venture that is just about to go into the construction phase. I start in a couple of weeks, so I now need to go shopping for a new work wardrobe. Nope, can't wipe the cheesy grin off my face this morning!
I believe in the power of the mind, and in particular, positive thoughts. After six months being out of work (during which time lots of people asked if I was worried or stressed, etc), I have a brilliant job offer. And the funny thing is, I never doubted that it would happen. Sure, if I thought about it too much, I could convince myself to get concerned, but my gut .. my feelings .. my INSTINCT was never worried. I just had total faith that the right role would come along when it was meant to.
Ever since I decided to have this total faith in the Universe, I have to admit that it feels like the right opportunities come along a lot more easily. And I'm enjoying the journey a whole lot more. Sure, I still need to set goals and work hard toward them, but it seems to me that when I'm willing to put in MY share of hard work, commitment and determination, the Universe is then willing to then create opportunities that I may not otherwise have had. And it also seems to guide me in the right direction, and with the right timing. Believe in this stuff or not ... it's up to you. But in my mind, what have you got to lose? Seriously. Do you really gain anything by quashing the possibilities of intangible powers like this? But you can't pretend .. you have to totally believe it. Have complete faith. And for a non-religious person, it's actually really nice to have complete faith in something greater than exists on this physical Earth!
That's fabulous babe. I'm really, really pleased for you. That is amazing. About the fat loss stuff and the job offer. WOW.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the very best for your new job role. Sounds very challenging and something you are very capable of. Happy corporate wardrobe shopping :)
Now do what Craig Harper says and toss those scales away Sue! You've grown out of them.
Thanks, sweets. It is all very exciting. About time I started working again and contributing to the taxes of the country, I guess. Will actually be nice to see some money coming INTO my bank account for a change!
ReplyDeleteI'm still hanging onto those scales though .. they thrill me with the number that shows how far I've come. And until I totally trust in my gut feelings, they will also help me see when I've been a bit lax. If he wants them gone, he'll have to follow through on his threat, I'm afraid!
