I read an interesting article last night in Yoga Journal about New Years Resolutions. As a tool to keeping your goals for this year, it suggested doing creative visualization of the new you a year from now if your New Years resolutions are successful. Then write a letter from your new self to your old self dated 1/1/2017.…
I am so excited to be cooking our first Thanksgiving meal in this house! But I also want to stay on plan and be healthy! There are only the two of us (ok, there are the animals!) so hopefully this plan will work for us. I bought a roaster chicken for me and the dogs (I hate the term "people food" It was coined by dog food…
We are into September- my favorite month. I am grateful that September still fills me with ambition and makes me believe anything is possible. The warm days and cool nights fill me with ambition. The thought of all my favorite holidays coming soon, fills me with anticipation. The slowly coloring landscape makes my world…

I am grateful that my recovery from the surgery, which has also been slow, is moving along. Last night was the first time I was actually able to sleep in the bed (had…
I was reading an article about establishing new habits ....and they suggested it takes several weeks at least before something we do becomes a habit. For years I have walked to town every morning and regard this as a habit ....I don't even think about it, I just do it! They suggested tying an action you want to establish…
I got a Fitbit Flex for Christmas and, so far, I'm using it independent of MFP. I know there is a Fitbit group. Most people in that group have linked them.

At the pace I walk, it will take me the rest of my life to get from coast to coast, but a few of you could reach it this summer! I am going to spend the rest of last two days of…
