Turkey Day

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!

Well, I've pretty much taken some time off. I meet my Christmas goal of 299 and just kinda fizzled out. My family and I leave for NC and my in-laws in exactly 3 weeks and two day. So I have given myself a new challenge. To loose 10 pounds in the time between the day after Thanksgiving and December 20. I have to get back on track!!!

Every relationship in your life is a current moving you toward your dreams or away from them. Not all friendships should be given the same value. You must recognize which ones are making deposits into your life and which ones are making withdrawals. Which ones increase you and which ones decrease you. Which ones feed you and which ones feed off of you. There are four types of people in your life: those who add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Your responsibility is to get away from those who are constantly criticizing, whining and complaining. Get close to those who add and multiply to your life, those who support you,encourage you, pray for you, coach you and even correct you. Avoid relationships with those who do not discern your worth.

Things I can do instead of eating

brush my teeth (who wants to eat with freshly brushed teeth?)
call someone
CATCH UP ON MY PAPERWORK! (I really should be doing this anyway)
clean or organize something (I can get so caught up in getting something just right i forget about food)
clean out the birdbaths (I'll have the cleanest birdbaths in NE FL)
drink water (this is suppose to make me feel full anyway)
go lay in the hammock (this is so relaxing)
meditation or devotions
paint my nails (can't do anything, including eating, with wet nails)
play with the doggies (my babies are so full of energy!)
read (not my favorite thing to do)
sew ( I LOVE to sew, i could sit at my sewing table for hours and hours)
surf the net
sweep my porch (the leaves constantly are falling)
take a walk (and its good exercise)
