WHEN I WOKE UP

THIS MORNING...

Friday, 04 March 2011

You were on my m-i-i-n-n-d! Oh yes, you were. Goodness, I'm so far

away from everyone this week. (Hello, hello, can

you hear me?) And when I'm away like this, I

worry about all of you. I wonder how you've done with

your weight-loss programs this week. I wonder if

you've been in a good mood. I wonder if you're

feeling positive about your life. And of course, I

wonder if you've been working out faithfully everyday

I've been away.

I've worked out in my hotel room

every morning this week. I even had some 10 & 15

pound weights delivered to my room so I could do my

toning. Back home, I usually play the music very loud

when I'm doing my workouts. But when you're in a

hotel room, you can't do that so I have to turn the

volume down to about a "3 or 4" on the little stereo I

bring with me. LOL.

I've eaten three healthy meals a day while I was

here. I had lots of fruits and vegetables, chicken,

some great salads and, okay, I did have a few bites of

this wonderful chocolate mousse tart they make in the

hotel's restaurant. (Remember, it's all about

moderation.) And oh yeah, I've had myself a delicious

kiwi everyday, too.

And I wonder how you've been eating while I've been

away?I wonder if your car passed through one of those

fast-food drive-thrus while this week. Did you order

a pizza or Chinese food while I've been gone? I

wonder if a Krispy Kreme doughnut found its way to

your desk at work. And I wonder if you skipped any

meals, thinking it was going to help you drop a few

pounds.

Now I must confess, I worry that

some of you fall off the wagon so easily. And I

wonder how I can help you stay on that good-health

horse and...ride, Sally ride! Ya' know, I

wish I could come live with each of you to help you

stay on track. But I'm such a neat-nick, I'd probably

drive you all crazy and you'd throw me out of your

house on the very first day! LOL. But seriously, I

do wonder how you're all doing while I'm here in New

Zealand.

Yesterday, we talked about putdowns. I hope you

didn't have anyone put you down this week or hurt your

feelings in some other way. We weight-fighters are

naturally sensitive. I mean, we're the kind of people

who get all misty-eyed just reading a Hallmark card.

I do hope you've been paid some compliments this

week. Isn't it nice when people do that? Their

compliments make us feel good and do wonders for our

self-esteem.

Well, I have to stop worrying this morning and review

my script. Do you want to hear a little bit of it?

Okay, here goes...Portable electronic devices,

even the cool ones, can interfere with our

navigational system. So switch it off or switch to

flight mode. Here's another line. If

you're short on air, grab the mouthpiece here and

blow, le, blow! Oh, I'm gonna have so

much fun doing this! I can't wait to get a copy so I

can share it with all of you!

Now please, don't make me

worry about you today. Take good care of

yourselves on this Friday and by the way, I hope

spring is sneaking up on your part of the country!

Love,
