Spring is eeking it's way in...... finally!

Well I must say that it is so nice to have sunny days that are slowly becoming warmer as each day passes. I love the Springtime because it tells me that Summer is just around the corner.

And that brings to mind a change of clothing.... uh-o!

Now that is going to be a bit of challenge for me. It seems that since I have become the owner of an online Travel Agency and I sit in front of my computer most of the day, that I've somehow added a few unwanted pounds over the winter. Yuck!

But I am resolute to loose them quickly before these "few" pounds become "many". I am staying a healthy diet of high protiens, dark green vegetables, and of course lots and lots of water. About a gal a day! And in a week's time I've already lost 5 lbs. It won't take long for the last 10 lbs. to drop off too. Wow, how did I gain these pounds so easily and so quietly. I'm not a big eater...... although I do love the sweets! My body is so sneaky with me too. It seems that I can eat whatever I like for weeks and nothing different shows up on my scale. Then all of a sudden (long after the carefree eating has stopped) I'll hop on my bathroom scale and get the shock of my life! WHAT!?? Six pounds!!! Where did that come from! And I'm forced to think back to what I had eaten so carelessly a few weeks ago. Darn, and I have no one to blame now either, not that it would do me any good.

So I'm doing what is best for me and sticking to a healthy diet. I have to say, that I feel better and the sweet cravings are gone. Even my daughter Lisa, stopped in one day and said, "Mom, your skin looks really nice... so smooth! What did you do?" I told her I'm just drinking a lot of water, like a gallon a day. She just grinned at me. But what the heck, if it works then I'll do it gladly. I also have a friend who has lost over 10lbs by doing a 10day water fast. He says the next one he's going to do is a 30day water fast. More power to him, I say.

I've also discovered some great new things that really help with the problem of my clothes not fitting so well. It's a cream (now seriously, don't snicker) that you just rub on and within the hour you'll lose inches from your tummy, thighs, arms or wherever! I just bought some and I'll let you know how it works for me. If you listen in on a recorded call about this stuff, you'll hear from a woman who used and how it worked for her. I've heard several other women say they got the same kinds of results. I've even talked with a message therapist who used in on her face and saw some amazing tighting of the skin happening. Yah! a face lift in a tube!

But I'll go into that more on my next post....

So til then, be happy and SMILE big and often. You'll make someone feel better when they see your beautiful smile.
