Monday Coffee Talk

I hope everyone slept good last night.  My bed sure did feel good. 
The challenge for today is to take care of yourself.  In order to do that, you must take your vitamins, drink you water, get in your protein, exercise, and eat as we should.  I am speaking loudly to myself this morning.  I need to continue to lose 30 pounds or so.  I have been lax on my exercise and no****ching my food as I should.  Sometimes it is easier to just easier to pick up a sandwich on the way home from work.  However, it would be much better for me if I came home and cooked.  I am challenging me and you to begin again to diary food and pay attention, exericise, and comply with "the rules of the pouch". 

You all have a great day today.  I am having some wonderful Caramel Royale from Village Coffee in Troy.   It is so so good.

 Yummy!!!!  They have some really great coffee at the Village!
I envy you.  I should have gone next door after I got my manicure/pedicure and got a bag of coffee too.  Tim brought me a coffee over during my pedicure (how pampered can a girl get?), and it was awesome!!!
Thanks for the encouraging words this a.m.  Words we all need to hear.
Love you!!!

Mornin Sister!
I'm having me a cup of pumpkin spice in honor of my lil brother this mornin'!  I know he is having the time of his life!

Thanks for the challenge!

I am having a French Vanilla Protein Shake!! YUMMY!!!!

What an awesome challenge today.. and I'm all over that one!! Today is my appointment with the new doctor and accupunture is in my future! I don't know if they do it first visit or what but I'm so excited!

I called ya last night-- Mr. John said you were in bed! I wanted to see if you could check on Cristy but Louise says she is going by the hospital sometime today.
I gotta call you I need a favor.. Pray for Donna B. Today OK?
I am beginning a journal after the OH roundtable meeting I realize there are stressers that cause us to revert back to our Food Addiction lifestyle. A journal can help you realize how you cope with that stress and better ways to deal with that.
I accept your challenge and am working to get those last 40lbs I want off so I can have plastics!!

Pray for me and Teddy also. I know God is working even right now to make things happen. My Grandmother lost it when we left. She is so fragile right now and I need to be there TODAY right this moment! I know I can't and that is hard to accept but I know GOD is working it out.

I love you Momma! Enjoy that coffee!!
Oh I sure can't wait to be able to just get in the car and drive to meet you for coffee!

  Hey Carmen.
  Sort of funny that you gave me this challenge today. Phyllis and i ( thru emails today) have been discussing our eating habits too..  I soooo needed this challenge!  I did not go thru all the hoops and all to lose weight to feel better, just to let the food rule my life again and put me right back where i started..
  I love you Carmen!

Hey there Tammy!!!!  I posted this for me too.  I need it probably more than anyone.  I have been praying that God would lay upon my heart the right challenges while Randall is gone.   You are so right....we did this to be healthy and not to go back where we were.  I love you too!!!!
