The Creative Notebook

I absolutely love the change of season this year.  I’ve been working hard on heating a healthy diet since no magic weight loss pill has come my way and made me look like Cindy Crawford.  Now that it’s getting colder, I’m digging out my fall and winter stuff from last year.  Today I decided to try on a pair of pants that were pretty tight last year, and they slid right on!  I was so excited.  I’m writing this down in my weight loss journal.  Normally I record what I’ve eaten that day and if I’ve exercised, but it’s going to be fun writing down the difference in my clothes from last year to this one.

Don’t forget to record your little victories if you’re keeping a weight loss journal.  It’s the progress I make that keeps me going, and I’m sure it’s the same for you, too.

We’re going on a trip.  Imagine your dream destination.  Close your eyes and get ready.  We have our tickets.  Our bags are packed and we’ve got passport in hand. 

I want you to spend ten minutes writing in your journal as if you are there.  Record the sights and sounds.  Even the smells of flowers, restaurants, your hotel room.  Let yourself wonder on a virtual vacation.  Even google some pictures if you want and add them to your journal.
