Maura
absolutely you can lose the weight! But you can’t obsess about it. What you put out is what the universe hears. So if you say I want to lose weight, guess what the universe hears? you got it WEIGHT. What we speak is powerful. Just like the written word is powerful. SO, be cautious in what you say. If you want to lose weight maybe say/think/write things like…I am healthy, I am thin, or whatever. Say what it is you want instead of what you don’t want. The same with your writing/publishing. Speak what you want. Speak it into existence. It’s powerful this ability of intent. It’s powerful and REAL.

{waves to all the nice folks who said hi}

Trista, never underestimate the power of google..

Tyler, I know the feeling.. I try to go to the gym in the AM, but it means getting up early, and sometimes it’s way too easy to keep hitting snoose. Since I have a commute, if I get up an hour earlier, I shave a half hour or so off the commute, so despite spending time in the gym, it doesn’t ‘cost’ me that much.. Not sure what Maura’s workout plans are, I think she’s going to spend the first few weeks just focussing on diet, and then try to find a way/time to add in exercise.

I so want to go! Houston is like right there… I still kick myself that it was in Dallas the year I started reading and I didn’t go. Where as Dallas is farther, I have friends there ;).

Of course I am not a writer, just a reader. So you would think it would be cheap to go, but being in a room with that many books to buy scares me. Or at least my bank account.

Good luck with the diet!

Houston is closer than Florida. I’d like to go to that conference myself. I’ve been telling myself to walk more. Last night I walked around downtown when I went to a concert and knew the parking would be tight. So, I walked around rather than go sit down and wait for an hour. I gotta do that every day!

I know your pain, Maura. I've been on the diet for weeks now and what have I lost? Six piddly pounds. Six. Where is the justice in this? I'm going to RT this year and I have about eleven weeks left.

The worst part is going to the gym every night. Really cuts into the writing time.

But the best part is that my whole body is starting to firm up again.

So, chin up, girl, and keep going. It's worth it.

Hi there, c.

LOLOLOL! Good luck with your challenge. I do the same thing with M. If I tell him I’m on a diet, he cracks down on me as well. Nothing worse for a diet.

But I think I’m safe too. Unlike Jaynie’s hubby, my dh knows what a blog is (because I talk about it all the time), but I doubt he’d be able to find mine! he he he

I don't think Q even knows what a blog is, so I have no worries about him finding mine lol.

I should have known - sorta like when I hide your presents in places you haven’t looked into in years.

Then suddenly you have a legitimate reason to look there.

It’s like this psychic “find stuff deliberately hidden from me” sense! LOL

You sealed you doom the moment you wrote Now, as long as I never admit to C that I’m trying to lose weight, things should be good.

but I promise I’ll try to be good.. hey if both of us are eating healthy, I might even start cooking more often.
