I wanted to write a quick something...here I am, on vacation from my wonderful job! (and yes, I mean it!) It is a very demanding position so I'm thrilled to sleep late, go to the gym when I want and also looking forward to scottsdale resort this coming Monday through Thurs.

This season has been different. I am NOT on the first phase of southbeach. My main intention is weight loss. I have this hazy realization that I need to do some serious changing of my thoughts and beliefs around this whole issue...as well as money. Slowly but surely my affirmations are true to me.

Last weekend I was sinking a little...notice I didn't say a lot...And as I was lying on my bad, I heard in my head Louise Hay say, "Unhappy? Reach for a happier thought. It's that simple." Now usually I would have said something sarcastic like, "yeah right...whatever." But not this time. This time I did it...It was so new to me. I actually did it...Not too long, but the thought was like a windshield wiper to my mind during a hard rain. It was really quite great! Now I am taking Wellbutrin...which helps quite a bit, But I have been taking it for a while. This time, reaching for a happier thought actually worked with the Wellbutrin and it was like the sun after a storm.

In light of all that, I decided to apply that concept, reaching for a happier thought, to all my negative thoughts. It's a great thing...Letting go, thinking good thoughts, all of that is helping me see my life differently...One bit of advice though...DO NOT WATCH THE NEWS TOO MUCH, IF AT ALL!! God! that'll wipe away all pleasant thoughts!

Okay, gotta get ready for the gym...I'm going to try and do a video tonight...take care and thanks for reading...love
