Sunday PMS Check

Wow....it's been a while since I have done a PMS check. So here goes...the first check of 2008!

• Pysically-Um...yeah...nothing has changed on that aspect of my life. I really really really want to lost 30 pounds. Have you ever noticed that successful people are successful because they work so hard at being successful....no matter what it is they are trying to accomplish? So when I am whining to myself about my jiggly butt, flabby arms and my 30 pounds....I ask myself why am I not losing any weight? Well the real question is....am I working hard at being successful at losing those 30 pounds and the answer is a big FAT no to match my big FAT butt!!! I resolve to work hard this week and my first stop is going to be a visit at this FREE diet journal that calculates it all. Feel free to join me on this adventure.


• Mentally- I have to cut back on over extending myself...I hate to say no because I am really a people pleaser. However, I need to put me first because I really am stressing myself out to the point of heart palpatations. I will be delegating more to others and letting go....yes letting go is a good thing.


• Spiritually-I have been listening to lots of podcasts regarding The Secret. Each person on the podcast has something specific that they focus on as their prime reason on why the Law of Attraction works for them. This point struck me and has stuck with me.....Anyone can be grateful after the fact....but being grateful for all that you have and enjoy right now before attracting more into your life is key to the success is gaining more of what you want in your life. Hmmmmm....that makes so much sense to me. So I have been making it a point to just take a few moments each day (in the shower where I get my only "alone" time) and just saying thank you and taking in all that I am blessed with in my life.

So there ya have it. Anyone care to join me in the quest of losing 30 pounds? Warning....we gotta work HARD at it but in the end it will be worth it.

**Gratitude** I am grateful that I was given the chance to go to the Oprah show with my friend Vicki. I am thankful for all the gifts we were given that day too. BTW, the pic above is me with Vicki before we left her house for the show.

An Open Letter To Beth

My Dear Sweet Friend Beth,

I am such a SCHMUCK that I totally forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday today when I saw you at school. I am soooooo sorry for not even acknowledging your birthday and totally deserve you sticking your tounge out at me while leaving the parking lot. Not to mention that your subtle hint TOTALLY went over my head. Yeah....the part where you said you better be nice to me...esp today....flew right over my empty head.

Ok...I can not tell a lie. I almost completely forgot that it was your birthday today {I did remember to remind myself on Monday} and then as I sat here second guessing myself I called Mary to yell at her for not reminding me.....like she is my secretary and it's her responsibility. {Beth you are my secretary and shouldn't have to remind me of your own birthday!} Anyway, Mary's response....take your cell phone off vibrate and check your voice mail. {Thanks Mar}.

And so my dear friend it is with my most sincere apology that I offer you a belated Birthday lunch of your choice. **Read the Fine Print** Lunch must be between the hours of 12:00 and 1:00, in the city of Highland Park and preferably across the street from my office at Once Upon a Bagel. LOL...just kidding...you pick!

Happy Birthday Beth!

Love,

Denise

P.S. This is a pic from your birthday lunch last year! You have pretty eyes to go with that awesome smile.
