I saw this Dr. Oz on TVthe other day- and he makes a lot of sense. I bought this book yesterday!
Reporting in sowell wenches:
my diet continues to suck.
but I did exercise yesterday - went to a wonderful class that was half tai chi and half yoga. it was the perfect workout for me. the tai chi was beautiful, graceful yet powerful with squatting, lunges, twists and elegant arm movements. then the yoga was a series of stretching and strengthing poses. loved it.
I am excited about checking out Jill's new One Yoga studio this saturday morning!!! :clap_1:

Good for you!! I'm proud of you for getting your exercise in! Wish I could say the same. I'm just maintaining at this point.....

Maintaining is a very good thing. that way, when you are motivated to do more, you are still at a good starting place - not like starting over. we can all start anew after the holidays. with our new year's resolutions to "reinvent" ourselves. maybe we can pick an online photo of the person we want to become and put it on our 'tar or sig. ha ha ha ha ha.

Warning: I went to the Thai Elephant for dinner last night and ordered (and ate) the half order of steamed Duck. As it turns out, it is actually half a duck, not half an order. My belly looks like I ate the whole duck, feathers and all. That said, I did have a rather vigorous workout yesterday, so the duck will soon be burned off. (insert smilie wiping sweat from forehead with the back of his hand.)
By the way, I sampled several items from other's plates and everything was delicious, especially the whole Snapper! Thai Elephant is located in the strip center with Cancun's, located across the street and a little west of McDonald's on Hwy 98 in Destin.

and why my little duck-stuffed SJ are you posting this on sowell? do we need another restaurant to try? to the Dining forum!!! ;-) seriously though, I've heard good things about Thai Elephant lately. We tried it a long time ago and did not enjoy the food at all. But, lately I've heard really good things about it. we need to give it another try.

You make a good point about posting my post in this thread. I guess it was primarily a warning that to be careful when eating foods that taste so good, because stomachs have a tendency to throw that portion control philosophy out the window. I knew other people would ask where the Thai Elephant was located, so I saved the back and forth chatter and gave the full details.
The warning comes at a time when we can make a lot of difference in our health. The holiday cooking is already underway, and we will have the opportunity to shake things up and eat healthy. The other option is to say to ourselves that it is just this one meal exception, even though we know that is a lie. We will be tempted by many sweets, and unhealthy foods, like ham
or Fried Turkey, but we do have a choice to avoid those items by eliminating them from our Traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas cooking. 
I know some of you are cussing me out right now, but making the right choices on our dietary intake over the next 45 days can make a huge difference in our health, and can eliminate the need for working so hard at trying to get in shape for swimsuit season. The choices are ours to make.
(note: I am speaking to myself in the mirror, but thought I would share my thoughts with you of internal battles between my stomach and mind.;-)).
