5 Ways to Reduce Stress (from 52 Proven Ways to Reduce Stress)
1. Focus on understanding rather than on being understood; on loving rather than on being loved.
2. Do something that will improve your appearance. Looking better can help you feel better.
3. Every day, do something you really enjoy.
4. Get enough sleep. If necessary, use an alarm clock to remind you to go to bed.
5. Make friends with non-worriers. Nothing can get you into the habit of worrying faster than associating with chronic worrywarts.

Inspiration for the Week from Mrs. Pee
"NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING THIN FEELS." (Author unknown)
Mr. Pee and I just just got back from seeing Nicole and David. All is well in the Lee Household. We didn't walk, as I had planned, because I forgot my shoes. (I think Nicole was glad.) Tomorrow starts a new week. I have a new exercise plan to share with the group that requires only 10 minutes per day, 6 times a week. (This is from Nicole. I think she's being holding out on us.) Take each day, one day at a time. Don't make excuses, make plans. Being overweight is fastly becoming a major health crisis in the U.S. and we don't want to be a part of the crisis. Do we? See you on Friday.

Nicole's Motivational Thought
"My advice is to go into something and stay with it until you like it. You can't like it until you obtain expertise in that work. And once you are an expert, it's a pleasure." -Milton Garland

I'm Back!!!
"Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can" Unknown Author
Hope that everyone is doing great. I just got back in town today, but I will be at the next meeting. I didn't get to weigh in on Friday because there was no scale where I was. I'll probably just wait and weigh this upcoming Friday. On vacation, water intake was up and down depending on the day and what was going on. I tried to get in at least my 64 ounces. Eating was all over the place. I didn't over eat or eat anything extremely bad, but I didn't eat as much as I needed to throughout the day. Exercise should be great because we walked all over the place. Had fun. Hope to see you soon.
