How about this, friends?!  I am feeling totally good and strong today!  Something about the silliness in the chat room last night was totally freeing, fun, and child-like.  I loved the spontanaeity!!  And Maniac with her wonderful week of eating and exercise really inspired me.  Also, Dearest and her confrontation with the dreaded scale.  So. . . .

Here I am, happy today and feeling totally in control.  I'm eating well, drinking my water, and feeling generally motivated.  Whaddya know!  I'm even going to get to the gym tomorrow (hopefully they won't all fall over from shock when I walk in.)  If it weren't so danged hot in Detroit, I'd be out pedaling my bike right now!

So thanks, girlfriends!  I loved it!  I'll keep ya posted, and look forward to next Tuesday!

Hugs and carrot sticks (no oreos, Mary!),

I am trying to get recommitted to a healthy program even this close to the holidays. I have to, or things will get out of hand. The reason I posted under A New Outlook is because the chat last night got me thinking again. It is time to get healthy and the holidays are not going to be an excuse to keep making bad choices.

So...to a new outlook to committing to getting healthy with eating right and exercising moderately.
