Health Trek Day 27

It was quite a weekend. Fall Rally was a lot of fun. For those of you who went, I hope you had as much fun as I did. We performed a skit that we had only had time to rehearse twice and when we got on stage, I think we both froze a couple of times. I forgot to put on some of the costume accessories, we messed up lines and made total fools of ourselves, but it was really fun. We are going to do the whole thing again for our Chapter on the 29Th. What a couple of hams we are! The entire event was a nice mixture of humor and emotive stories of weight loss successes as well as rewards for our efforts over the summer. My cheeks are still aching, Charlie! (Not saying which ones!)
I really do believe that laughter is the best medicine. I have been full of happy feelings and bursting into song ever since I left the Civic Center. So another formula for weight loss; Don't worry, be happy!
We are all packed, except for last minute items, for our camping adventure in Massachusetts. We have a house sitter, and the weather looks like it will be going up. I have been thinking really hard sending brain waves out to Mother Nature that this would be a really good week for an Indian Summer! So when the weather gets nice and toasty for the next few days instead of feeling like the beginnings of an ice age, you can thank ME. And don't forget to send a big thanks to Mother Nature herself. We don't want to anger her this close to the big W. (Winter that is)
I have great plans to keep my weight under control this week. For one thing we will be doing a lot of walking. When we eat out, I am going to let my husband order for me. He always nags me about eating, so I decided to let him be my conscience. The Camper is not big enough for me to hide food and sneak candy bars and we are only bringing healthy snacks. Anytime I feel like hitting him over the head with my exercise dumbbells, I will think of Fall Rally and h0w much I want to be up on stage telling my weight loss story, or better yet, graduating at SRD! So I plan to smile sweetly and not let food become the center of this vacation.
Tomorrow will be my last Blog until the 28Th of October unless I can figure out how to use WiiFi or whatever it is called. So don't think I have dropped off the ends of the earth if you don't hear from me. I will be recording our adventures along the way, and perhaps writing a few more poems to share with you next week.
So enjoy our nice weather and don't forget, everyone, to
ROCK ON!
I have a bit of Prose to share with you today, that I didn't write, but agree with wholeheartedly:
Attitude
The longer I live, the more
I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude to me is more important than facts
It is more important than the past
than education,
than money,
than circumstances,
than failures,
than successes,
than what other people say or do,
It is more important than appearances,
giftedness or skill,
It will make or break a company..
a church...a house.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day
regarding the attitude for that day
We cannot change our past...
we cannot change the fact that
people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the string we
have, that is our attitude...
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens
and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you,
WE ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR
ATTITUDE!
