My Happy Plan progress 2 months in . . .

$2500 is a lot of money to spend when we said we would cut down on our spending.  And didn't you recently say you would not spend anymore money on coaching since you know the answers are inside?  And haven't you been on your own "program" since August with happy results?  Think about that for a few minutes-what are results that you've gotten from implementing the Happy Plan along with some add-ons:  I feel more relaxed, authentic, able to handle issues (the whole A/M thing) with a calm, loving perspective.  I think I'm spending less money (not using shopping as a numbing activity).  I have gotten so much positive feedback from friends on me as a person (girlfriends at my bday dinner, Kathleen's comments about our family, Lisa and Heather saying such kind things about me on FB).  Health wise?  S says I haven't been snoring.  I don't have all the weird aches and pains.  My period is a million times better-not so heavy, not so uncomfortable, not so hormonally crabby.  I did a lot of stuff last spring that I wanted to-lots of meals out with girlfriends, cooking classes, ordered business cards for a cooking business and then analyzed how happy that makes me going forward and I think:  glad I did it, not interested in continuing any of that right now.  I'm spending lots of great time with our family.   I'm just feeling healthy and stronger and way more energetic.  I'm fitting into some of my clothes again.  And notice how far down the list the weight loss is.  It's a by-product, it's not my ultimate goal.  I'm choosing to focus on other things.  I like being able to walk up the hill to school and not get winded.  I love being able to hike Torrey Pines and feeling like it's a good work out, but not that it's super strenuous. I like knowing that every little bit of exercise makes me calmer, happier, more energetic.  I really, really, really want to be able to get off the floor without effort.  It seems dumb-and yet not.  I'm too young to have an old body!  And I don't want to be thinking about knee replacement surgeries when I'm 70.  I want to be comfortable moving around.  Limber and strong.  Those are my goals.  I want to feel healthy and energetic.  So just keep on with the Happy.
