Happy Friday SR!!

I have been fighting off a cold all week, and work has been crazy, this morning I have already dealt with three stressful situations, and it isn't even ten o'clock.

The best point of this is I have been able to bounce from situation to situation and deal with them in a positive manner. If I had been hungover I would not have handled the situations well, and this cold would have been exponentially worse.

For those just starting out the changes may start as as small, but they deeply impact all areas of life.

One last little benefit is I have lost 37 pounds, and feel much better trying on clothes!

Have a great weekend everyone.

I decided that 2016 was going to be the year I became healthy overall. I started weight watchers at the same time I gave up wine. I know that a big part of my weight gain was alcohol, and the junk I would eat after a bottle or so of wine. For me eating smaller throughout the day has helped. I am always rushing at work so keeping fruit, cheese sticks, and almonds in my office that I can just grab and eat on the go has helped as well. I still eat regular meals, and cheat every now and then (like tonight I am planning on pizza). I also have been walking a lot, I need to up my exercise regime though, and need to start toning more. I was doing yoga a lot, and have gotten off track a little with that, but will be getting back on soon.

Sixteen days is awesome, stick with it, I am really glad I have this time.

Totally agree about how I handle situations! I get less upset, and I bounce back more quickly; I make better decisions and I make them more easily and quickly. Dealing with people that would have made me crazy or at least fuss about is also much easier now. And a big thing- I LISTEN to others so much better.
