Monday

Hello,
It has been a long time since my last post. Not a good week. I exercised once. Work has more pressure. My eating has not been so great. I was supposed to walk up to 7 miles today but instead watched 3 back to back episodes of project runway! I have to turn it around - especially since I have October 26th coming up so soon.
Take Care
Cheryl

1. I have to finish eating my fries (chips etc.) first before I finish my sandwich when I eat out

2. I have to have diet pepsi in the house at all times - probably an addiction as opposed to a quirk!

3. I love office supplies & can spend a great deal of time in office supplies stores

4. I clip coupons every Sunday and rarely use them

5. I love, love, love to sleep

Chocolate Fix Friday

I was reading my book - You on a Diet. A recommendation was made that you put a small piece of chocolate (70% cocoa)in your mouth and meditate - savor the flavor. Do this to reduce stress and increase serotonin. I kind of like that idea. I highly recommend the book (not just because it recommends eating chocolate and meditating!)

I found a fun site - Virtual Chocolate. It's an interesting site. The name caught my attention. There were several quotes about chocolate. Here's one of my favorites:

"It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man." Miranda Ingram
