What's NEW today?
I better start being more on purpose with this new piece, it's hard to come up with daily. The only thing I can think of right now is that I set my mat at yoga in a new spot facing the door and I left 15 min early because it was boring, that's new!
What's GOOD today?
Went to the MD to discuss some midlife changes, this is good because I took care of myself when I could have just kept feeling the way I was feeling which really wasn't and isn't helping my quality of life.
Spoke honestly with my sons md today as well and to my son about drinking pop and its harmful effects, diet or not!!
Went to my power exercise class even though I was really tired and not feeling great.
Drank all my water today.
I'm feeling better about what's am reacting too and what I am allowing and not allowing into my life.
Unloaded the dishwasher when I didn't feel like it.
Staying organized with my work.
Passed my IIN test yesterday with a 90 percent and didn't keep putting it off.
Cancelled my credit cards x2 and am stopping my spending (actually did this yesterday but didn't blog) because I forgot.
Decreased my acct limit at the athletic club to also decrease spending money everyday at the gym, is already helping.
Worked with Nichole this past week to get the marketing blasts out for Anne's Pads and she got them out last night.
Until tomorrow......

What's NEW today?
I went to an italian cooking class with my family and tasted eggplant for the first time as well as anchovies (never thought I would have in a million years, anchovies disgust me) but what the heck!
Had an amazing business coach Gary help me with my marketing and really understood where I am at with how to go about getting myself found little by little. And, he did it for me without pay!! he's awesome!! It's tough to find people like him out there in the world of greed and competition. I'm very thankful for Gary today.
What's GOOD today?
Went to yoga, instructor didn't show up but someone from the class filled in.
Getting closer to getting paid with my WC contract.
Obtained marketing info from Gary to help with my health & wellness coaching business.
Ate healthy today.
Spent fun time with my kids doing something new and experienced it together.

I woke up really tired today and figured it must be all the sugar (pie) I have eaten from Thanksgiving as well as a piece of carrot cake last night. UUUGG -- I am so done now with the sugar! One thing I noticed is I did not feel this heavy and lethargic prior to thanksgiving! Food really does make a huge difference in your energy level.
Whats NEW today?
I went to see the Life of Pi (awesome movie).
Recd a new neck dual pad from my mom!
Whats GOOD today?
Spent time with my husband with no arguments, we actually had a discussion and it went very well.
Ate healthy for lunch.
Did not eat after 7:30 pm (it was tough but I did it!!).
Went to the gym and spend an hour on the treadmill getting back into my running/walking exercise (this was good because of the time I went in the afternoon which I really hardly ever do).
Im going to bed early because I am super tired.

Wow, some days it's really tough to find the good in certain things. When arguments occur it just takes me to a different place. I want to write this today because I want to remember that sometimes even with struggles and challenges its not so easy to find the good in my day. Yesterday was a great day with my family and I was so looking forward to going to bed with such gratitude. God, really did being my family back together and answered my prayers. I felt the urge to make thanksgiving dinner and bring my family back to the table together because it has been such a long time. I have really missed the bond of a family and genuine love for each other to spend time together and reconnect. I have really missed that and really thought I lost that forever....
But, the pm of thanksgiving turned alittle sour. I'll share the story.. My son wanted to go to the store for an Xbox game and he and my husband and I were bored of watching tv, so I offered to take my son to go get it. Keep in mind that the evening for Black Friday at started so it was going to be really really busy. I didn't get concerned with that through because I was excited to see what the frenzy was all about. We made it to target, he got his game with very little frustration and he and I were both doing well. My husband on the other hand was not. He became very judge mental and assuming about these people out shopping and became very short and curt but of course only my son and I had to deal with it.. He made a mean comment and I got angry because of his strong judgement towards others (it hit home because of how he has treated me and my kids with strong judgement and neg assumption), I was tired of it and called him on it. Of course that started a disagreement, but what's new..and it left me feeling embarrassed and ashamed that I married someone that can be so ruthless to others esp those that don't have money and are different than he is. I had to let go to that and ignore him and let go of the fact that I am connected to that in a marriage. I have to realize that that's his deal and not mine to deal with. It teaches me though that I do not want to be that way to others.
So, what was NEW today?
I believe in prayer and hope.
Reminded that things can change with time and patience and we are all just trying to do our best.
Went to see Bye Bye Birdie musical at the theater, it was really fun :).
What's GOOD today?
I was reminded to not treat people without judgement and be careful with assumptions of any kind both positive and negative. Reminded me that I among better than anyone else, everyone's just trying to be happy and we are all in such different places and its not easy because we are each handed such difficult things on this earth and we all handle things differently.
Was able to get over the disagreement the night prior and wake up this morning with a positive mindset not focusing on what went wrong and looking at the good! This must be working!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
What was NEW today?
The Macy's parade was fun to watch today
Made a turkey for the first time, delegated the touching of but was behind the taste with seasoning and preparing
Made the while thanksgiving dinner for my family and they really enjoyed it, that really was a first and I am proud of myself for cooking and more so wanting to do it (I have not enjoyed cooking in the past).
Nichole cam over and spent most the day, it was new for me because its been over 2 years since we could actually sit down as a family and I wasn't on pins and needles with Maury's and Nichole's comments or reactions from each other.
What was GOOD today?
Dinner time with family. Colin could have Nichole home to spend time with.
The pumpkin pie was amazing with cool whip.
I walked 45 min on the treadmill when I wasn't planning on it (Started out planning 30 and went more!!)
Felt good spending time with my family, the anxiety was lessened today.
Went to target at 9:00 pm for Black Friday and it was fun to see how many people were there and took the effort to spend time looking for deals for themselves and their family and friends.
Was able to talk with Todd and see how he's doing.
Until tomorrow.......

Wow, what an interesting morning since I have started this blog. I am busting my butt trying to focus on the new and good in my life to break my past history of negative thinking. I woke up and felt it would be a good day, but ended up fighting with my husband over his control issues, getting to appt that was a no show and drove to the athletic club unsure of what to even do with my morning. What a shitty feeling, like a negative black cloud following me and I'm trying to stay away from it and finding it very difficult.
My day has finally turned around the the good came back...thank God! It took on purpose thinking, yoga and nice people around me to calm down enough to change the direction of the energy. Crap..I never want to be unaware of my energy again, it would suck to be unaware.
So, what's NEW today?
I met a new person named Chris is yoga today through my friend Jean
New meditation from Deepak (believe it or not on Gratitude...)
New Parenthood and the Voice shows
What's GOOD today?
Had a good yoga practice
Turned my energy from chias to calm
Had a great turkey and apple soup for lunch
Went to empower class, had a great workout
It's sunny outside :)
Nichole came over and had dinner with Chad
Really nice weather today
Until tomorrow.......

Today was a great day, lots of new thoughts and lessons learned from the Daily Love with Mastin Kipp.
I learned so many NEW things:
If you want to be happy you HAVE to DO things everyday that make you happy. Let go of what doesn't make you happy.
I get to choose how I feel which is spiritual maturity, don't let the feelings control, choose what to do with them.
I learned the difference between a BRAT and a CHICKEN: the brat is I want what I want, I deserve it because.... The chicken is intellectual excuses, bringing in facts. An example of this was that I was saying to myself there's not a lot of jobs in my industry.. That is the chicken side of me that I didn't want to apply and keep get rejected from jobs.
Amazing new abundance meditation with Deepak .. I need to say to myself everyday ---
I expect and accept abundance to flow easily to me. There is a law of least effort in the universe.
What was GOOD today?
The weather again was awesome.
I got more organized today with my business to allow myself to stop having so many thoughts of what I need to get done. I just got the done.
I walked and burned 230 calories and stuck to my goal of not eating after 7:30
Met some nice people today in red wing
My shoulder and back and foot are healing
I ate healthy today
My family is safe
I spend time on the phone with Nichole, I like spending time with her.
Maury and I are having a great transition with him home from his trip.
I drank 3 liters of water today :). I'm proud of myself.

Monday always seems to be a day of uncertainty for me. I think about how I want my week to go, what do I want out of my week and what do I want to add into my week! Today was a good day.
What was NEW today?
I tried for the first time something new for breakfast, fruit and oatmeal from McDonalds, the calories were 290 but I still need to look up the sugars.. But it was really good to try something new to eat that was semi healthy.
Met two new people today through work.
I also tried sweet potatoe fries for the first time, those were good too!
What was GOOD today?
I didn't feel or allow myself to be rushed today, I took my time with work.
Had my house cleaned, I love when Jenny cleans for us, it's such a break from all the chores and I can focus on other things in my life.
Walked on the treadmill during the voice, didn't allow myself to just sit.
Drank 3 liters of water today.
Didn't eat anything after 7:30 pm, achieved my goal today!!!!!!
My family is healthy
I am healthy and have lots of energy to want to do things in life
My kids are safe
We can pay our bills and have alittle extra.
Did my meditation.
God is a strong presence in my life.
True potentiality and abundance is possible and happening in my life.
I have made a shift and let all the negative things in my past go, true freedom :). Thank God

It's Sunday today and there is so much I want and need to get done, so I decided today I will try to add to the posting throughout the day because maybe I am having a tough time finding new things to post because I forget or minimize them. So if I concentrate today on what's new, maybe I will shock myself with new things I am experiencing daily..
What's NEW today?
Watching Super Soul Sunday on Oprah and its not a repeat!! It's a new show with Eckhart Tolle.
New Deepak Chopra abundance meditation today, loved it!!
I did end up buying the super brain book I debated on because I didn't want to spend money, but I was lucky and found the only one in the store.
What's GOOD today?
Had a massage today to relieve my neck and shoulder discomfort, felt awesome!
Exercised today as I tried to talk myself out of power training, did it anyways. :) and do not have to live with the regret of not doing it.
Ate healthy and concentrated on eating more throughout the day to decrease the calories in the evening (my bad habit is eating more calories and unhealthy foods after 7:00pm)
Spent time with my son grocery shopping, I love spending time with my kids even with the simple chores of daily life.
Found the motivation to clean today and stayed in a positive mindset.

What was NEW today?
This is getting tougher for me to find new things daily. I seem to have to make this happen on purpose because new things just don't always pop into your day. I don't want to just make it easy and use things that I purpose on my new list because that seems so simple and easy! I really need to take time at the end of day to really think what is NEW....
Well, today I did do something new, I faced timed my husband and saw a new hotel in Paris through him. So, I did get to see a new environment!!
This is something I realized that I need to concentrate more on, on a daily basis.
What was GOOD today?
The weather was amazing today it was 67 degrees and sunny.
I was able to go on a 6 mile walk with a friend and was able to visit and exercise!!
I rested and was able to get a good nights sleep.
Went to wabasha with my son and we had fun going out to lunch and had conversation without a tv in the vicinity :). I love that, time with friends and family without tv to interrupt!
Until tomorrow.......
This is getting tougher for me to find new things daily. I seem to have to make this happen on purpose because new things just don't always pop into your day. I don't want to just make it easy and use things that I purpose on my new list because that seems so simple and easy! I really need to take time at the end of day to really think what is NEW....
Well, today I did do something new, I faced timed my husband and saw a new hotel in Paris through him. So, I did get to see a new environment!!
This is something I realized that I need to concentrate more on, on a daily basis.
What was GOOD today?
The weather was amazing today it was 67 degrees and sunny.

I had a pretty uneventful day today, good but uneventful.
What is NEW today:
I went and bought some new pajama pants that were on clearance!
What is GOOD today:
I made it on the treadmill today for an hour and was able to read more of my book. My goal is to focus on one book before moving onto another.
I ate a salad for dinner which was really good because I have not been focused on eating more vitamin enriched foods and I did it today with a salad and pea soup.
Until tomorrow.....

Nov 8
Today was a pretty good day, everything went smooth, didn't work too much but stayed really busy. Sometimes I just cannot figure out what keeps me so busy. When I go to bed at night it just doesn't feel like I had enough time in my day to gets everything done that I want to! That's probably a GOOD thing, I'm enjoying my day that much and making good use of my time.
Whats NEW today....
Had dinner with my daughter, her boyfriend and my son! First time with her boyfriend.
Watched a new Coach Meg presentation and learned more about my inner self and I have a ton in common with a successful female in the same industry I'm in - that felt nice and inspiring.
What's GOOD today....
Dinner with my kids was fun and really nice to be together!
Really nice weather with lots of sunshine.
Had a good lunch - split pea and ham soup with no bread (watching carbs is good!)
Had a great Hatha yoga class and went to power class when I didn't feel like it
Drank all my water and ate well except I really need to get rid of the Halloween treats they are not good for my food plan..
I'm in bed and reedy to rest.
Until tomorrow......

Day 3 -- today was a good day!
I am really taking time in my life to figure out what I want more of and less of. By doing this blog it is already clarifying so much for me. To focus on the good in life makes one heck of a difference to your daily mindset. It weird though how the brain sometimes wants to focus on the negative, what a daily and sometimes hourly fight internally!!
So.... I ask myself today..
What was new today?
I bought myself some new yoga tips
I stayed in a peaceful state of mind (normally I am emotionally in different places throughout the day)
I used FaceTime to talk with my husband in Paris, that was fun and really new for me because I never have been able to see him at work before ( or resting from work anyways!)
What was good today?
All that was new in addition to getting my exercise in, eating healthy, hearing my brother got a job, calm day of work, focused on positive things, voted today when I wasn't planning on it, went to dinner with my son, met up with my daughter at work and visited with her, bought a couple new coffee cups on sale! Took time to meditate today and focus on abundance for myself and my family!!!
Good day. Until tomorrow.......

Nov 4, 2012 Whats New and Good today?
I have finally decided to get over my fears of creating and keeping a blog. I am not very good at writing and grammer but I am good at communicating verbally. I believe that is where my fear has come from. It also seems as if this is what everyone is doing anymore so I figured what the hell - Kim do something new today!! I decided rather than worry about anyone else seeing this, I am going to write and journal in this blog everyday for myself and my journey in life. So to begin --
I have been having a tough time trying to figure out what it is Im really suppose to be doing with my life! I have been a follower for my lifetime and didnt even realize it!! I was told growing up what I should be doing with my life by my dad, you will be a Nun, a homemaker, etc, this was told to me until I was about 20 years old. I ignored what he said because I was in a household of 4 sibling boys and was always the one helping my mom with chores and feeling like I should help her with shopping for groceries, etc because she seemed so overwhelmed at times. I didnt realize this idea of being a homemaker or nun would turn me into a female that rebelled. I somehow knew within myself that being a nun or a homemaker was not the reason I was put on this earth. I wanted to have a family, dont get me wrong, I have two children and am married. Something within me keeps telling me that I have something more to do. To this day I still have not figured out where that voice & intuitive feeling came from and what I am suppose to be doing with it!
So, to make a long story very short, I am 46 years old, Im a Registered Nurse, and a Health & Wellness Coach. I became a nurse and a coach because I love encouraging people and seeing them happy with themselves. It makes me sad when others are not happy with their lives, because I KNOW what that feels like and I DO NOT want others to feel that way!! So part of the reason I feel Im on earth as a human is to assist people and partner with them to make their lives better.
I really dislike marketing. So, to get myself out there as a Coach and obtain clients is my challenge now. I have no idea how I am going to make this happen because I do not like to push people or manipulate them into thinking they need my help, so not sure what to do at this point with my passion for coaching. I really want to work with obesity because I and my family has really struggled with that. Obesity hurts!! Perfect example of people that are unhappy and lost! I really believe one day I will be working as a Coach with those wanting to change their lives and get their lives back! I will be patient and let the universe figure out how to help me with this.
One of my goals for writing this is to write down everyday what is New and Good Today -- so I will begin today, November 4, 2012 (I also have a goal of following through with this because I have a tendency to get bored easily and not follow through with these longer term goals) --
New: I started my blog today (Whats New and Good Today? at coachwithkimberly@blogspot.com)
Good: Its sunny outside, I have time to myself today and made myself sit down and do this journal entry even though Im nervous about it! Im also excited about getting ready to go exercise after a good nights sleep. I am also going to go shopping today for some new fall clothes!! Im back on my food awareness plan and also have a goal of a 20lb weight loss in 90 days, I started this by eating a homemade breakfast with protein and whole wheat!
Until tomorrow ......
