Holiday NOT the end of anything! Keep up or renew your efforts! (((big hugs to all))

[Pookeyism 1,143]

I just wanted to say before the holiday officially kicks in, please take a moment to congradulate yourself - wherver you are, whatever you are doing- give yourself a moment and just recognize that even just being here makes you pretty awesome.

The food and family for many of us is going to be pretty think this weekend, for others maybe we are lonely as a kiddo is away or grandbabies are back into a school routine. We have too many plans, or forgot to make any - maybe you forgot you made plans and will be (no kidding) touring a BLUEBELL ICECREAM FACTORY -

Just remind yourself to not give in. This is WHY your lost the weight - to have enough evergy to do this, to be here for this, to see your kiddos at holiday or weekends. Let that be a treat, not the cookie or bite of something - even just to see if it goes down.

I suggest this if you get too stressed: take 'savasanna'.

lay down, stretch out - calm, quiet, alone. lock a door. do it in the bathroom or a large closet, if necessary.

breath in and out with a hand on your tummy, the other on your heart, feel the breath come from your abdomen, near your belly button, feel it fill that space back in...when you have a steady pace, relax your arms out casually by your side, make sure you bum is out from under your sit bones, your shoulder blades out and down relax everything - don't forget your jaw!

take a moment to just feel the ground holding you - let the world support you for a change - nothing more needed from you for a few (or several) moments than to just breath, be supported, be awesome....

when you are ready, come back with slow, gentle movements, deep beaths as you come back.

YOU ARE AWESOME!!! YOU!!! YES YOU!!!

Namaste.
