PMA's For The Grad Boards

P - Positive M - Mental A - Attitude In life we choose our attitude and we can choose to look at our glass as half emptyl or we can choose to look at it as half full, but it is OUR choice.  Each night I write down at least (3) positive things that happened to me in that day and I find that motivates me to find more good things that are happening.   Yesterday's PMA's are as follows: 1. my boss bought me a birthday cake and I didn't have any, it didn't even tempt me 2. I got the most beautiful flowers and pearl necklace from my co-workers I almost cried I haven't felt this part of a family at work in a long long time 3. My son starts reading his torah portion with the cantor next week to get ready for his bar mitzvah, it's all so exciting as we embark on this journey! We;ve got 5-1/2 months until his bar mitzvah and I'm really going to maximize my weight loss to get to my goal for the event!  care to share your pma's du jour with me? It's 2:43am EST and I can't seem to sleep tonight. Be Well and Be Healthy, ANDI

I so agree with that, our attitude determines our altitude (how far we go in life)!!!  PMA's for yesterday:  1. I FELT great!! I had energy, and I got through my school day without being tempted by the no no foods.  2. Went to pick up my son from football and his friend said, "Noah, THAT's your mom!!!" (gotta love an ego boast every now and again) 3. I'm drawing closer to God through school and my own personal life. It's a GREAT place to be.

those are GREAT pma's please keep them coming they revitalize me. I'm on day one of the (5) day plan and thus far i'm doing ok, I get panicky thought when i do the liquid diet like i'll NEVER be able to chew again or something. ANDI

Hi Andi, Congradulations on day FIVE. That is SUPER. Just wondering what you ate on day three?

Thank you

Tena

Howdy Tena! I never quite made it to Day (5) i quit after day 2 and never went back but i've got protein powder under my desk and tomato soup so i'm ready to rock and roll this liquid diet! ANDI

Hey you.. have seen you for a while. glad to hear you are doing good. I have had a long hard weekend full of kids sick, spouse sick and just over all craziness. I could use some PMA right now.

1. I didnt get sick even though the whole family was. yeah for that.

2. Work seems to be smoothing out and sailing right right now and I am happy to come in each day.

3. I have managed to maintain my weight for a month now even though the mental struggle with it can be somewhat daunting.

4. I am happy to be me. I feel pretty good about myself, my goals and direction in life, and feel like I can take on the world to day.

dont be such a stranger. May board is a little boring right now I see. Hopefully it will pick up soon.

See ya

Hey Andi you just know I LOVE these pma's.   It alwasy cheers me and lifts my spirit to read other people's. Here's mine: 1.  Life has been frantic, but I haven't turned to food this time 2.  I am doing something positive even though it is the tough road to take  (long story to do with my daughter school teacher!) 3.  I am being more patient and understanding with my daughter 4.  I am NOT allowing cir****tances to dictate to my emotions. By the way Andi, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

you're my hero Ruthy i've got so much going on here I am very very overwhelmed and I'm turning to food. ANDI

yeh, but Andi, you have helped me get to this place :o)  Your seas are just a little rough right now, they will calm down and you'll be sailing smoothly towards your goal in no time
