I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

Boy, it’s all about mindset isn’t it?  I have finally got my mind together and am in sync with my body on the eating side of things.  It is so hard to do sometimes.  I would really like to be down to 170 by the summer.  May not be slim for the likes of the Hollywood people but for me, it would feel really good.

I make chocolate pudding (sugar free) yesterday and today I am going to make my favorite - BUTTERSCOTCH!  What a nice treat that will be.  I have also been trying different kinds of teas so that instead of eating, I can drink a cup of tea.  Decaf for the evening.  In the morning I have been drinking Chai tea.  YUMMY!  I have been totally missing out on this delight!  What a nice treat!

It’s Monday, what can I say?  I had my counseling appointment today.   It went well.  We talked mostly about my family and growing up.  With my dad being in the hospital and me going to visit everyday, it’s been stressful.  The people who raised me are not a ray of sunshine in any way, shape, or form.  I have given myself permission to NOT go to the hospital today and feel like a ton of bricks has been lifted off of my chest.  I will call to check in and that’s all.   My daughter and granddaughter are coming by later and I will get to visit with them and enjoy their love.  It’s a much more positive experience.

I am going to watch an Oprah I recorded.  Later, I am going to do my taxes.  Oh joy!

Hugs to you my friends!

    I would be happy with the 170 as well. I may not be Angelina Jolie, but I make a mean J LO…. :)
    I really like the butterscotch too, not so fond of the chocolate, and love the vanilla.
    Hard to get anything sugar free here on the island…no one here is big on dieting as is proven by a walk on the beach..
    Yes the inevitable…taxes….sh*t
