I had a great weekend and the weather was beautiful.  I've been aware I haven't had much anxiety at all.  I am so grateful to that.  I started following my diabetic food plan again and feel so much better.  The other thing I started last week in relation to the weight was a tip I got from the T.O.P.S. meeting I attended last week.   I am doing it with a co-worker next to me instead of with those in the T.O.P.S. group.  I'm going to go to one more T.O.P.S. meeting but not sure I'm going to stay with that.  Ideas were good but meeting wasnt.  
Anyway, we both came up with something we really want but haven’t gone out and gotten yet.  I want a Wii with the Wii Fit Plus accessories to go with it.  She wasn’t the whole house DVR set up that Direct TV offers.  I can afford the Wii and she has a way of getting the whole house set up free because of info I gave her on how to ask for it.  Anyway, we each printed out something to represent what we want, such as a picture of the item.  Then we have each wrapped up our “gift to ourselves” 8 different times…one nested inside box after box after box or gift bag.  Each week that we achieve our goal, we get to unwrap one level.  My goal is to release weight each week.  She is starting out with exercising 30 minutes 4 times a week.  So as I release week each week, I will find myself ready to purchase that Wii right before Christmas…8 weeks from now.  When tempted, I see the present in my cubicle or pictures I have placed around the house and car of my new Wii bundle.   
This is the first Halloween that I didn’t buy candy for the kiddies.  Instead I got 50 calorie bags of pretzels that were decorated in the Halloween theme.  Wal-Mart was selling them for under $5.00 for 40.  You can bet that went on my new daily journal I am keeping of things I did that day that nourish my physical, spiritual or physical being.   It also brings me closer to being able to unwrap one layer of my gift on Wednesday. 
 I hope everyone else is having a great day!
