What a wonderful world. Oh Yeah!!!
Today, I really had to focus on managing my workout time, meetings and civic activities. In the midst of my stress I paused to look around at the beautiful day. Sometimes you really can miss the beauty of the forest because you are focusing on the trees. Trees are great but the flora and fauna of life is the absolute best part of the experience.
I challenge you to stop and smell the roses this week. Take a minute to thank God for our wonderful world.
Tip: The secret to diet success is loving yourself. Take time to enjoy the moment...and when you do - count to ten slowly and take a deep cleansing breath. It works. Try it.
Love and Peace, and have a Veggie Good Day,

Day 20 - Tuesdays are tricky
I think that Tuesdays are tricky because it the blah day of the week. Monday is a fresh start, Wednesday is a half point, Thursday is close to the weekend, Friday means freedom, Saturday is a free day and Sunday is a wrap up point. That is why I call Tuesday blah day. You are most likely to be VERY hungry on Tuesday. I can't explain it but it is really true.
I have some tips for surviving a blah day. First, get moving. Exercise will perk you up. Second, give yourself a new treat. A new blouse, earrings, shoes or a scarf will help lift your spirits. Third, experiment with a new dish. Fourth, use a lifeline and call a supportive friend. Fifth, PRAY for strength and finally - give yourself a pat on the back for making to another blah day.
Tip: Sip Green Tea. It will change your life. :)
Challenge: Add 15 minutes to your workout. GO FOR IT!!!

Day 19 -Sleep Needed
In order to make this diet work we need a good nights sleep. I did not get a good nights sleep because of noisy neighbors. I am hoping that they will turn it down a notch so that the nice people in the neighborhood can get some sleep.
Monday Morning and time to SIZZLE. We are going to have a great week. I made it through the weekend without blowing the plan. YEAH!!! Today I am ready to roll. I hope the party patrol keeps the noise down.
Challenge: 3 workouts every day this week. Morning, Afternoon and Evening.
Tip: Try chicken breast tenderloins instead of fillets for a juicier cut of meat. Also WW frozen anytime cheeseburger (4pts) is a great on the go option. Yummie.

Day 18 - GO SAINTS GO
Happy Sunday,
Today is a beautiful day. Not too hot and not too cold. I love it. It is the perfect day to pound the pavement. So the blog will be short today because I am headed for a walk.
Grab your sneakers and hit the road. Your heart will love you for it.
Tip: Veggie Burgers can be heated in a warm skillet with no oil. Try it.
See you soon and have a Veggie Good Day.

Day 17 - Social Graces
Hey Everyone,
Today I realized that dieters need to have certain social graces. There is an etiquette for dieting that I have learned the hard way. First, do not talk about your diet while others are eating a delicious fat filled lunch. It is really not appreciated. During a meal with non-dieters stay away from conversations about your fitness goals..unless someone has expressed an interest. You never know when someone might be annoyed with you for bringing up the subject. Dieting is a very sensitive area for some folks so tread carefully when discussing the topic.
Positive punch for the week. - Love thy enemies and Love thy frienemies. I will try to live by this rule ALL week.
Shout out to my friend Susan from church. She is having a baby today. GO GIRL.
Challenge for the Week - Green at every meal. Anything green that is grown in the soil...so no green jello does not count.
Super Saturday to All,
FitandSlim4ever

Day 16 - Travel Tips
Whew!!!!!
Today, I left home at 6:00 a.m. - flew to Houston - and flew back home. Upon my return I set to work on a print job that is due tomorrow morning. I knew this would be a busy day so I planned my food intake. I started the day with a WW breakfast sandwich with a tablespoon of non-fat margarine. I put a pack of raisins, a snack bar and a 100 cal pack in my purse in the event of a food emergency. It all worked out.
I was able to get a salad at the airport and ended the day with a veggie burger. CRISIS AVERTED.
I CAN DO THIS. SO CAN YOU.
Forward March. Jeans in sight...fat pants on the ground. LOL.
I bid you a Veggie Good Night.

Day 15 - Special People
Hello All,
Tonight, I went to a reunion of Troop Channel (long story). The troop is a group of dynamic ladies that were brought together because of a burning desire to change the place in which they live. The troop is a meeting place of mind and spirit where outspoken women can share their views...and respectfully disagree. It is a lot of fun to be with the ladies. Most importantly, they all support my WW struggle. My ears were ringing with positive thoughts and encouragement. Thanks Ladies for the friendship and support.
At WW we are taught to watch out for food pimps and food police. We all have a few of these folks in our life. The ones that comment on the contents of your plate. You are eating TOO much or not ENOUGH. Well, lucky for me the ladies in the troop do not fall in either category. I was able to munch on my salad without pressure to EAT. Yeah!!!! Girl Power is great.
So here is to great friends and wonderful opportunities.
Challenge: Meet someone new this week. Smile and take the high road. How about having a little sympathy and empathy for people that do not share your views.
Thought for the Week: Why can't we all just get along? Jesus ate with Jews and Gentiles. I know - stay away from controversial stuff on the blog. Well, I will save it for another day. Maybe after the mid-term elections.
In the meantime, Be Good to Yourself and Have A Veggie Good Day.
