Check, Check, Check

It's that time of year again where we are faced with lots of yummy choices. For most of us, these yummy choices involve butter, cream cheese, sour cream or brown sugar. Talk about packing on the pounds!

Well, you are all invited to come keep your poundage in check with a support group through the Holidays and beyond. There have been a few of us who have been meeting weekly to help each other make good choices and changes. Some of my personal accomplishments are:
  • I've rid my body of Diet Coke. I still struggle here and there for my drug of choice, but I am victorious most days and drink water instead
  • I can do military style push-ups. I think the most I did was 8 in a row. WOW
  • I've noticed that I can hold notes longer while singing because I've increased my lung capacity through running on my treadmill.
  • Things have gotten hotter in the bedroom if you catch my drift :)
  • Some of you have complimented my looks as of late and I appreciate that. My "numbers" show little improvement, but having others notice my efforts is just as good.
  • I make better choices throughout the day. I've started eating more often and eating better things.
  • I make a list for the grocery store and stick to it. No more impulse purchases of Chocolate covered cinnamon bears and salt water taffy.
  • I've met "sisters" who care about what I do to my body, both physically and emotionally. They are there to give the pep talks when I waver and they are there to rejoice in the little things.
Overall, it has been a great experience and I'm looking forward to losing through the Holiday Season rather than gaining. Come join us.

I'm so sorry I called a couple of times around 10:00pm to let you know your garage door was open. I really hope I didn't interupt anything!!! :o) I'm so proud of you for all the things you've accomplished with keeping a healthy lifestyle. I will definitely need your motivation here soon.

I'm sorry about the hot bedroom. I have an oscillating fan you can borrow.

Wow, no Diet Coke? Look at you! I fell off the wagon for a while, but will get back on soon! Thanks for the push!
