Diet Coaches/Buddies – Congratulations to all the engineers and geeks of the world for the successful up-righting of the Costa Concordia in Giglio, Italy yesterday. I love success of impossibly big projects.
I mimicked
Beverlyjoy by ditching the remainder of a package of manufactured cookies into the compost bucket this morning, CREDIT moi. I had found my way into them as a 'snack' yesterday when I was feeling sorry for myself that my back wasn't yet perfect - Ouch. I finally walked to the library, CREDIT moi, which made the back feel better. The book I had requested wasn't there yet but I bumped into two folks I knew along the way as a bonus to the walk.
onebyone – Kudos for recognizing,
"I absolutely cannot cope with my mothers arrival and move here by eating." There's a bunch of us right now thinking about using food to alleviate something. [Didn't drive through a Redwood, but did walk through one. I'm working on uploading an image.]
Joy (gardenerjoy) – Love the observation that your MIL is more motivated in her own home. Reminds me of the unexpected result from a study attempting to show how early an infant will track a moving object with their eyes. Turned out that an infant will track a sibling several months earlier than a yellow balloon - the standard test item. Infants aren't robots, duh!
maryann - May all your repairs go well. Yep, Kudos for step class to keep the mind agile.
nationalparker – Chocolate is good. Chocolate for only 50 calories is super good. My take is that folks a century ago were so busy they didn't even imagine relaxing.
VioletDolphin83 – Congrats on a loss - any size loss is a step in the right direction. My take is that one should post here at the frequency that feels beneficial. For some of us, daily accountability helps us remember that we're on a journey.
Beth (bethFromDayton) – Precision with food does, indeed, help the mind stay the path. Kudos for tackling that.
ForMyGirls - Yep, Kudos for working on your strategy for staying on focus. Indoor exercise is a must outside of Shangri-La.

day 6 Find a Diet Coach
What to Discuss with your Coach
During your scheduled weekly meeting, you should talk about: . . .- The successes you had during the past week. Use the to-do lists at the end of each day to report on what you've done. Mention anything else that you deserve credit for, so your diet coach can positively reinforce what you've done.
