The Mind☯Body☯Spirit connection emphasis is creating balance, wholeness, and coherence in our lives. It acknowledges that how we think, what we feel, and what we believe create the life we live and the world around us.

Good Morning, Dear Angels:
The sun is shining brightly and, if I didn't know any better, I'd think it was March 4. The birds are busy feeding outside my window. What a beautiful day!
Lisa: I am sending healing thoughts and energy to you and your family. ☯
Daily Affirmation: "I want to have lived my life in such a way so that when I am 80 years old, I've minimized the number of regrets that I have." (Jeff Bezos from Amazon.com)
Fitness report: I'm reporting a lousy day at the gym yesterday. My mind was somewhere else, but I did what I could. I added my stability ball workout last evening, which is intense and distracts me from the national news on TV. Also, did my PT stretches.
Health Goal: Heal from within.
Gratitude: for the sunny sky today
Gratitude #2: that I don't live an hour Northeast of here where they've gotten 9 feet of snow over the last week or so. (Ontario Lake-effect)
Namaste, Suzanne

Thank you for starting us up, Suzanne. Love that Jeff Bezos quote. It's good to hear you are having a nice day of weather. We are frigid around here! But the sun is shining. ☼
Michelle, work those cute clothes! You deserve them!
Lisa - I am sending prayers. Keep us posted and know prayers are coming.
I attended my meeting this morning knowing it would be bad news - but I didn't know 2.8 pounds of bad news. My leader had a little pep talk with me then we all talked about our thoughts and segued into better choices for Super Bowl parties. Here is my take away and plan for the coming week:
- Acknowledge that I am depressed and permitting myself to get in "dog chewing paw" mode over outside circumstances which I have no control over;
- Knowing that working out lifts my blue moods, make a better effort to get in longer and more vigorous workouts;
- Put my meeting name tag on DH's gallon sized ziplock bag of trail mix, which has been derailing me, with a note "there is a better choice" under my name;
- Prep for Super Bowl with a shrimp platter, veg tray, and make taco seasoned turkey meat salads with baked tortilla chips instead of the cheesy beef nachos I'd planned; and
- Meditate on this simple mantra throughout the week: Choices
Thanks for listening buddies. ♥
Daily Affirmation - I am following through on the plans made at my WW meeting this morning.
Fitness Report - upper body workout at CPR training; Pilates and Kundalini yoga in the p.m.
Health Goal - better choices.
Gratitude - my fab leader. ♥♥♥♥

Pat: Its sounds like your meeting was well worth it. Maybe your shoes were heavier than usual? Earrings? I'm so glad you have the kind of support your WW meeting provides.
I'm with you. Working out does lift me, mentally. (As a former fat person - or Vo-LUMP-tuous, as I liked to say - its hard for me to confess to this). I hated exercise. Never got that euphoric 'high'.
I acknowledge that there will always be those little "blips" in the scale. I, too, would have trouble with the bag of trail mix. In fact, in my possession, is some Super Bowl food including peanut M&Ms and salt & vinegar potato chips. Last night, I SOOOO wanted to rip into those M&Ms. But then I would have to go to the store today to replace what I ate. And I didn't want to go to a store today. I bought a giant tray of prepared fresh veggies which will be the first thing I reach for tomorrow. The chips and M&Ms will be a treat. I'll count everything and log it in. And I won't be stepping on the scale Monday morning.
Hey! I'll bet that CPR workout you got yesterday has your muscles retaining water because you worked so hard.
Heading for my workout right now. Sometimes I resist because I have other things I need to do. We all need to remind ourselves how good the "Physical Therapy" is!
Suzanne

Pat, Good Job! with the WW plan. Isn't that what we all need to do and actually do do it (but forget we are when we are gaining). Do you have any horror stories when you look in your rear view mirror that make that WG look like a minor bump in your WW journey? I won't even get started on mine. So scary to think of going back there. Loved your ideas for "trading down" as I call it. Close your eyes I am going to talk calories. Shriek! What a bad WW I am to even think of those things. Anyway when I trade down and choose something that has as few as 20 less calories I consider that a victory. Hmmm. Let me see 20 times 365 days equals 6,300 of those unmentionable things and doing the math if I dare that is almost 2 pounds!!!! Laugh people all you want even you lurkers, I am laughing all the way to the scale each time I am at or below goal. WW has done for me what I could not do for myself and I love it!!!! Back to the nattering on and on--Pat you are with it in so many ways. BTW, my affirmation "Stay in Peace" is about getting up in the morning and outfitting myself with that attitude so that every little tiny thing stays in the peace sector so that when the BIG things hit I am prepared. BTW--listened to something rather smart. With blessings come burdens--so right I got a new car and gasp my cruise control quit working. Poor me (good grief). My how we forget the tough times when we were trying to figure out how to do the best for our kidlets and had not idea how on earth we were going to afford X and then.... or when we could have cared less about how we ate. You go girl--you have got this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Affirmation: Stay in Peace Goal: Get Stuff DONE!!!! Gratitude: Reality
Onward>>>>>>>>

Thanks for the prayers! Kelly is holding her own in ICU. They are keeping her stable while they await surgery early next week on her neck, pelvis and some dental surgery. She has a long road ahead and still need lots of prayers and good intentions.
The silver lining: Kelly is alive! Doctors and surgeons can fix lots of stuff! She is a fighter to the end She is a very positive minded person
affirmation- I am confident my pruning presentation is awesome! health goal - work on my OCDness. I am embarrassed to say how many hours I put into a pruning power point fitness goal - cardio and resistance work gratitude - Kelly lived through hitting a tree on a snowmobile. 2 yrs ago my son's best friends father wasn't as fortunate.
