Thursday already????
I bought a new watchband today which is remarkable because I’ve needed one for months. I have a nice Seiko, a gift from dh many years ago, and it’s a miracle I haven’t had the band totally break and lost it. I can only wear leather bands which seem to deteriorate rather fast, the metal ones make my skin break out in a rash, esp. in warm weather. Anyway, I actually stopped and bought something I needed for a change. That sounds whiney, I know.
The week has gone by fast. Another soccer game yesterday, another loss. Also lost the one Monday. Rachel was almost comatose yesterday at the lesson; very difficult to keep her moving……and it’s almost her “in season” time again.
My willpower is missing. I confess I find myself raiding A.’s room for candy; Twix today and yesterday, having ice cream and chips. Thinking of hypnosis maybe. Anybody done that? Usually in the spring I’m into good healthy eating and on a roll food wise; not this year, for sure. Don’t know why.
Have to go to a funeral tomorrow—son of an older friend, heart attack; close to my age. A. off school (teacher work day); has soccer practice; her dad’s off too so he’ll have the duty. This may be a battle; he’s really not into doing that sort of thing.
Book: Double Tap by Steve Martini (legal thriller) blah so far, or maybe it’s just me
G’nite chickadees.

I guess the book I’m using is sort of a hypnosis thing. You listen to the CD every night just when you’re going to sleep. Jon doesn’t call it hypnosis, but it’s the same idea of reprogramming your brain. It’s called The Gabriel Method and there’s a link to it on the home page of 3FC. My blog is really all about seeing if the book can help me.

Actually, Ms. Close, in my heydey I was a certified hypnotherapist. You can do it yourself. Seriously. I used it (self hypnosis) to quit smoking, and never felt the slightest urge to smoke again after having smoked for 30 years. Now I can’t even imagine putting a cigarette in my mouth. To be honest, I haven’t used it in connection with losing weight. I know it works - in fact there are some pretty good, non-scam websites that explain it without turning into ads from snake oil salemen. Oh, Feathers - YOU are the Chook! Fancy that! Oh, and Ms. Close? Sometimes you just HAVE to buy yourself something. It’s one of the rules of survival.
Hugs,
