Sadly, vacation is almost over. I have to be honest, I don't want to go back to work. I am not ready to be retired, so I don't want to just stay at the lake (yet), but I could sure use a couple more weeks off. I would love to be able to get to a situation where I have summers off, and work 3 or so days/week for the balance of the year. Wouldn't that be nice? I guess I better get saving!
This week has been great. I can feel my muscles from all the exercise. I have had a couple of my 10% meals, but will still hit my weekly goal of 90% compliance so all is good. It was nice to have a treat today, and not feel the compulsion to keep eating.
Every day, my internal voice is getting stronger, and helping me keep focused on my goals. I actually think that good internal voice has been there for a while, I have chosen to ignore it in the past. Go figure!
Anyway, it is nice to feel focused, and I credit the Berardi Lean Eating Program for Women for helping me achieve that. Go JB!
I am looking forward to the long weekend. Lots of good stuff planned with family & dear friends.
Life is great!

Hiking in Hawaii
1. Launch the (new) habit with a strong initiative. Find situations to encourage the habit daily
2. Seize the first opportunity to act ("with mere good intentions hell is proverially paved"). Form new "grooves" in your brain.
3. Act on your habit a little every day, several times a day. Let it not fail to take place.
- act frequently on your good intentions
- as you act, your will strengthens
- as your will strengthens, your personal character improves
- as you character improves, your brain "grows", making it natural for you to continue to act
Intention > Habit > Character

The things I know to do to be successful
- Remember every step forward helps. Only take steps that move forward. Always take steps
- Read my goals - think about them all the time
- Exercise with enthusiasm - it is a priviledge denied to many
- Plan ahead & tote my food
- Watch out for the warning signs of a desire to sugar binge. For me, diet pepsi & bread often trigger cravings. Oh yes, and having any sugar at all (none, not one!)
NO REGRETS!
I will live each day as I want to remember my life.
Every day I will live with an integrity to my personal potential that makes me proud to be me.
