Coming out of the Comfort Zone
We all have a mental place where we are most comfortable, a place where we feel safe, protected and often times that enhances our own bad stories about ourselves.
I have shared in the past that I have a story about myself that I am worthless, have nothing to offer, and therefore why would anyone want to listen to me?
Well this week I am stepping out of my comfort zone. On Wednesday night July 28- I will be presenting My Weight loss Journey in a program called Lose weight Gain a life.

I hope all of you will join us that night.
This is a big step for me- I am both excited and terrified.
Hope to see you there as this journey is taking me places I never thought I’d be.
Love and Laughter

How to eat when traveling this summer
How to eat when traveling this summer
I have received a number of emails this week about how to eat right and keep on track when traveling. Well it really all comes down to choices. Each meal, each moment is a choice.
So if you are away from home this summer and need to eat out here are a few tips:
Fast food- If you really have to do fast food- Think, look and make smart choices-
Wendy’s has a great Asian Chicken salad- I really like this it has mandarin oranges, grilled chicken and salad greens
Burger King –has a good Grilled chicken salad as well
I occasional have either of those for lunch or dinner on busy days.
Buffets- I love the variety but they are temptations
I usually start with the salad bar- salad greens, tomatoes; mushrooms, etc are great veggies.
Most buffets now have grilled steaks and chicken, or even grilled seafood- I try to avoid the deep fried items.
Restaurants- These can be really tempting but again it’s a choice – I try to look for the lean proteins, I love seafood so that is my usual choice, I ask if I can have 2 vegetable options instead of a potatoes- or I just ask for a box for the baked potatoes and eat it later .
Desserts- I usually just DON’T- but as I have spoken about before I have a sweet tooth and love these decadent delicious items. When I do indulge I try to go for something that is good.
Even when I do make poor choices I do not beat myself up for them- I just move forward, recommit myself to what I want and make better choices the next time.
The journey will take you many places- experience them, enjoy them and make them meaningful.
