You know I got the Secret DVD & book in March. Funny how thinking different works… We live in a very expensive realistate area (mountain resort)  Well we have been renting our house for 16 months - we figured after selling our motel / home we will just have to settle with renting for now. Well I requested the DVD The Secret for my BD in March. I had hubby watch it with me. Well after watchin it I wrote down my wants in life. Affordable house in town with a rental suite in it (incase our girls ever need to move home they have there own space) I started saying ” we will find the perfect home” “the perfect home is there for us” Instead of sayin we can’t afford a house. Well guess what! we have a home. July 1st is our postion date! Well it is a huge fixer- upper with a 2bedroom suite up stairs and a 2 bedroom suite down on a walk out basement - backing onto a valley - no one behind us! just mountains! Ya baby! I am very happy.
Ok what does this have to do with weight loss? Well I wrote done my home wishes so whats to stop me from writting down my weight loss issues? Yes that means regular blogging and setting goals. I want to loose 10 lbs before my 10K run/walk in Aug! Yea baby I will do it!  Well thats my secret….

Well I got my butt off the couch this evening after a long day at work. And went for a good 1 hour walk. My walking buddy guilted me into getting out walking by saying what a wonderful day it is She was right. It was so sunny and clear sky… It rained the last few days and you could see the fresh snow in the mountains. Breath taking! Well I have to restart my power walking as Aug’s 10 will come fast! I want to get some new shoes - might head into Banff as they have some great sporting good stores. My food has been good this week. Last night however I did go for dinner with DH and had chicken wings and nachoes. I totaly enjoyed them and had no guilt. Today was a bit off with food. Breakfast 2 eggs (very good) and veg juice. Lunch well…. 2 sausage rolls (not so good ) I brought my healthy lunch to work today but there is this lady who just returned after a 8 month stress leave. Well she is a supervisor and likes to play head games. and well tried playing with my head! I had to go out at lunch just to distance myself  from her. Well I think I will have to bring lunches from now on that don’t require me to heat up so If I need to leave then well I will and bring my lunch. I can’t let her mess up my  program. I have been at this job since Oct. and have been loving it. I am quited concerned that this one person is going to have such a negative effect on the work enviroment. (she did before). Ok ok …. Snap out of it Char! you can handle this! (remember the Secret DVD) well enough talking to myself. Hope you all have a great day!
 

well it is day 3 of my back at it tour! I am happy to say I give myself a 80% so far. I think it is good score. I am doing the South Beach. plan. I find it works best for me. Today at work we were presented with a challange. a Positive Challange - we were to go all day with only positve thoughts. Dealing with the public, it is easy to say negitive things about a customer (once they have left of course) Well our work enviroment is actually quite positive. So today was a very cheerful day! You know I was even thinking positive things about myself! Yes I feel the last 3 days of my plan was quiet good! I have been on this weight loss journey for 13 months now. Within the first 6 months I lost 23 lbs. then I started a new job and maintained my weight. During the Xmas season I gained 5 back and I think they are gone now.. So I read Jo’s blog today and she wasn’t happy with photo’s of her self from the weekend. Well I challange all of you to have a Positive day Tomorrow and look at yourself and say something positive about  yourself.  It feels great! Then say something positive to another person.
