MerryCHRISTmas! (Happy Holidays) --OH Feb. cruise, etc...
Season's Greetings everyone! Until two years ago was acitive on the MN board, though subsequenly became more inolved on FaceBook (can be found as Patti Truax). To the newbies, and 'oldies' from two years and further out.BELIEVE! I stil enjoy sporadic 'wow' moments at over four years out! If you enter a tough phase, be it a day or two, or even more, just start a new day with a clean slate and recommit to moving forward rather than backward. It's a fabulous journey, and losing IS very doable after the initial 'honeymoon' first two years. In the past week, was trying on 'cruise' outfits which I'd worn last April at eight-day gals Cozumel vacation--some are rather baggy, so stepped on the scale, shocked to see I've lost seven pounds smack into the holiday season. Fortunately I live alone and do not bring naughty temptation into my home--enjoying chai tea wih s/f hot chocolate,; s/f home-made 'from scratch' Tom & Jerry (rum extract rather than real ru,/brandy; fancy mixed nuts; s/f Sernicki confections, f/f chicken broth with a titch of poultry seasoning, s/f pudding with 'legal additives,s/f jellowith f/f cottage cheese and/or drained canned fruits.
Have been attempting to locate people committed to sailing on the Feb. cruise. Will be flying in from Minneapolis, so looking forward to meeting 'new' peeps! Enjoy a fabulous day, be gentle with yourself, and I promise to check back regularly to get to know everyone! Hugs!
