100 calorie snacks

Last October I lost 24 pounds in one month and have kept most of it off ( only gained back 5 pounds!) yes it is a little difficult but well worth the pounds. I highly reccomend the hcg diet it's only 21-40 days and then 2 -3 was of Maintenance.It's life changing.as I prepare to try again this year I am reminded of choosing my carefully what I eat. These are all 100 calorie snack ideas to eat. (after the diet and mantenience, hcg is very specific what to eat and not to eat.)Try it!

Weekends

The perfect weekend outfit.

Now that the wether has been cooler the weekends have been fun. Flea Markets,outdoor activities, movies....time with family and friends.Take time to relax and laugh each weekend. Yes I know house cleaning usually gets in the mix, but divide it up into Saturday and Sunday.Use your weekends to rejuvenate yourself. Then you will be ready for your week.

Happy Week!

Cultivating Friendships

Today I had a half day off. I could have shopped, gotten a pedicure, taken care of some business things or caught up on my sleep. So many choices. what to do?... what to do?... Instead I invited a friend to lunch, and then went to visit another friend I hadnt seen in a long time. I could have come home with new clothes, freshly painted toenails. or a rested mind and body. but I came home with a warm heart instead. 

So glad I chose friendship.

We are all on our own unique journey through this life but we all share in common the road we walk on. We might as well support and lift each other up as we go along. It makes a world of difference to have friends walking along side of you.

Take time to cultivate those friendships. They will fill your heart and encourage you to press on.

What makes your heart sing?

What Makes your heart sing?

I simply can not pass up a bargain. Attie and Lucy both got ... a new skirt. It brings me joy.
Dont pass up the small joys in life, for they are what makes up your life when strung all together.

Tell me, what is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? - Mary oliver
May your heart always sing

Embrace The Rain

This morning I dressed lucy for the rain and realized... we have no jeans, no pants, no leggings. just dresses and skirts. A girly girl at heart. So we settled for a jean skirt and a hoodie we received as a gift. she went to the glass door and squealed with excitement at the rain. As I opened the door she ran straight out to the grass instead of staying on the covered patio. I caught myself from being sensible... and let her dance around. She waved her small hands in the air and began to twirl. she loved it. We brought out her little chair and watched the rain this morning. What a wonderous way to start our day.

So what does the rain represent in your life? do you avoid stepping out into it? or do you step out and know, it is just a part of life as when the sun shines in. Embrace the rain in your life. You will find ....that you can dance in it.

Filling My Senses

Though my days of leisure seems to have ceased, small joys are still to be found. After a sleepless night I woke up with a plan. To play hookie. eight hours , just to myself, to do as i please. no demands upon me.I sit by a window drenching my senses. I see the sun beaming across my souffle. I smell the coffee for another customer. I hear the silence of the peaceful early morning, I wrap my hand gently around my warm cup of tea. what could be better then filling my senses.The day seems to say .. come, sit enjoy.

We all need down time. seize yours. you deserve it.
