Happy Tee Day

As Thanksgiving Day (T-Day) approaches, I admit to looking forward to the feast that our family puts together every year. The food is plentiful and the flavor is divine. However, I am approaching the 10 pounds off mark and I had two terrible food days this past weekend (cake and cookies and ice cream - oh my!), so I am determined to get back on track and stay on track. If I can get to 165 by December 31st (I started at 180) then I will have earned my day at Elizabeth Arden. I know I can do it. I just need to make this T-Day more of a Tee Day.

I will use a smaller plate and take a taste of everything. Then I will get up and step away from the table. I will start the pots and pans while everyone else goes for seconds and thirds. I too, will invite everyone for a brisk walk after the dishes are done.

I realized that like San, I have had a block in terms of the pounds I am able to lose. Getting 10 pounds off has always seemed do-able but beyond that and I am in a rut. I want to push through the 10 pound barrier and hit 165. When I hit that goal weight, I will spend the day at the spa and then start on my second goal of losing 10 more.

I am grateful everyday for the support of this group but the coming Thanksgivng holiday magnifies that gratitude. This has been an amazing adventure and the transformations we have all made are stunning. Most importantly, I think we all now believe that anything is possible. How amazing is that! That belief is what is going to carry us all to the top of our business and to the top of who we are as fit, healthy, centered, grateful people.

Here's to whacking Jawz in the head with a turkey leg (versus eating the Turkey Leg like I would have done last year!)

Love you all,
Tee

I can see the JAWZ pinata now and each of us taking a swing at him. And what will fall out? smiles and dreams and laughter and abundance and love and sunsets and sunrises and rainbows!
