Quick update

I lost another 0.6 pounds this week. It was tough! I wanted to eat the world. I am ready for the weekend and a little more rest.

Catching Zs

Last night marked the 4th date with Harvey.  I like to title simple things to make them events.  Harvey asked that we just chill on this date.  Low key.  So I titled the date Chillfest 2011.  The evening started off with a nice glass of red wine and I was expecting snacks.  That's what he said we'd be having.  Well, he surprised me again and "whipped up" a tuna steak with miso terryaki wassabi sesame glaze and a jerk salmon and steamed veggies.  Very WW points friendly.  I was in charge of renting the videos.  Harvey advised that I wouldn't be judged on what I rented but what I was merely interested in.  I selected 2 movies that I wanted to see.  Not what I thought he may like.  I knew he would think I rented them to watch what he'd like...but I seriously wanted to watch Red and Inception.  I like action thriller films.  And I just didn't get to the theater to see either. Cut to the love se...

This weekend I have the honor of witnessing my friend Brian celebrate the union of his beautiful wife to be- Karen. I met Brian at Rock Camp and we became fast friends over a year ago. He instantly filled the role of the big brother I've never had. This couple is so beautiful and sweet and fun. I anticipate a whole of fun this weekend and so far they have delivered.

We will be singing and playing guitar at the reception.  Brian already knows I can only sing ten minutes a day total as part of my vocal ramp up therapy. Actually, since I've been off total vocal rest, my voice teacher advised that I'm only to sing Amazing Grace for 5 minutes a day with forward resonance. Last night as soon as I got in after a long flight we were singing the night away. It felt like slipping into an old comfortable pair of shoes. It was delicious. The music...

Oops I Did It Again!

A coaching colleague of mine just called me out yesterday! I was filling her in on what was going on in the last few months.  I shared that I worked myself into the energy point of no return.  I was burning out.   She quickly pointed out that at the same time last year, I was telling her a similar story about how I hustled so hard I needed to take a break.  She highlighted that it appears that August is the season for slowing down.  But I shouldn't be working so hard until I'm at the brink of burn out AGAIN.   Oops! I did it again.  I got lost in the game.     What's interesting is that we focus on bad habits like smoking, over eating, negative self talk but I think we forget that how we work can also be a habit that needs close attention.   My name is Joyel Crawford and I'm a workaholic. I hustle until I can't flow no mo.   Building your own business is not easy or cheap.  I learned that for 18 yea...
