The rest of this year is flying by. I've had a very satisfying and as I sit watching the Cowboy - Packer game, I am feeling grateful that the Universe is sending me abundance. Mark and I are eating food we like and eating healthy. Something that I didn't used to think was possible. It is so important to make sure your kitchen has healthy food choices in it. I believe that since we are empty-nesters, it is easier to keep the sugar and unhealthy carbs out of the house; especially if your children are used to large amount of sweets, breads of all kinds, and have not been reading labels to determine your choices.

Do know that I only wish I had been educated by Jorge 25 or 30 years ago; I do believe I was meant to be on the journey I've been on, because I've been on it. And appreciate First Women magazine and Jorge Cruise at this point in my journey of life.

I've heard many specialists' words regarding emotional eating. At that time though, I felt deprived and often hungry. I cannot wait for tomorrow's class on emotional eating. Since I have the choice of eating foods that other programs do not allow, I do believe I am in a space to be more aware of emotional eating.

Tip: If you haven't found a drink to replace your diet or regular cola, experiment; there are all kinds of choices in the grocery store. I've found chocolate mint water that I think tastes like liquid chocolate. Don't give up until you find one that satisfies. We've been through many and are still experimenting.

Being healthy is a Divine gift from my Higher Power and I gratefully accept it!
