The margarita test

Thursday, March 24, 2011

Every other month, I go out for margaritas and mexican food with DH and a bunch of really funny, smart women. We're scheduled to go tonight. I would not give up this ritual for the world - it's way too good for my emotional well-being. This is the first gathering since my SP journey began two months ago, and I thought I'd be nervous about the chips and salsa, margaritas and refried beans I'm about to face. Will I let one margarita derail my efforts?

So, this morning, I'm analyzing and planning my day and I realize that I'm feeling neither nervous or guilty at the prospect of having a margarita or more chips than I'm allowed.
I know that tomorrow, I'll be tracking my food and working out...again.

This lack of guilt and anxiety is so freeing! Guilt is such an amazingly pointless energy-vampire! I don't know why this change is happening for me now, and not sooner in my life, but I'm enjoying each and every tiny victory!

    I know how you feel. That one day a month of 'planned' over eating will not make a difference in the scheme of things. It's the every week, every day that wreaks havoc on us.

YOU GO GIRL!

{Just get right back on schedule tomorrow}

    There comes a point where you need to decide what's important. Your time with these ladies means a lot to you and you should enjoy yourself. Tomorrow, just exercise a little harder, watch what you eat and drink lots of water! Have fun with the girls!

    Let go of your guilt and enjoy your life. You don't have to go overboard and you can get back on track tomorrow.

Spark is not a Diet so you can't break the rules. Its a change in life style so that we can learn to make healthy choices that doesn't lead to guilt just intelligence

Love your local library

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

My husband and I are currently unemployed and finding free sources of entertainment is extra important for us.

I can run an online search of all of the librarys in our county for DVDs, books and CDs. We have had hundreds of hours of free entertainment all delivered to our local library.
I can also renew my books, etc. online, saving me time and gas.

What a great system!

Wii Fit Plus is even better than Wii Fit

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

I'm cat sitting for a good friend who is on a cruise. She's letting me use all of her Wii Fit games while she's gone. Zumba, Wii Fit Plus and Let's Dance 2.

How much fun is the marching game on Wii Fit Plus? I'm in love!

Great family day

Sunday, March 20, 2011

My brother-in-law had has 40th birthday this past week, so today my sister had a surprise brunch party for him this morning.

It was great to see everyone and the food was truly delicious (OK - I'm fessing up - I ate some bacon and I enjoyed it) I was more excited about the company, however.

A wonderful family day!

    Hey, bacon never hurt anyone and it's not off limits in limited quantities and occasions

Enjoy!
