[CyberTOPS] Encouraging Thought for August 12, 2009

[Royal & Linda Coan]

Good Afternoon Everybody,
    How has your day been today? Hope that you share lots of smile with others today. We sure did. Also we took our grandchildren schools shopping today. They were so cute. We were teaching them about money by purchasing items on sale. They couldn't believe how much they could get when buying items on sale. We all had a great day and even had lunch out at the Golden Corral. Another great bargain.  We always tell them to pick one veggie, one fruit and one meat along with their glass of milk. They have to eat that before they can have anything else. They did a great job.
 
Today's Encouraging Thought:
 
                                          You control the hand that reache and fix your plate
 
               You must learn to be in control of everything you do. Yes, it is a hard job, but one which we must learn do.  The next time you fix your plate, remember that you are in control of what you are about to put on your plate. Think about portion size and dividing the plate into sections. Remember that veggies and fruits are super good for you. So we should fill the plate with half veggies and fruit. Then how about some protein. I think about a quarter of the plate should be good. Now for some bread or starch. It too should be about a quarter too. Wow! It almost seems like we have a lot of food now. Just remember use the right size plate too. Don't get a large plate. I would say a 6 or 8 inch plate should be good. You control that hand that reached for that plate and fixes it. So think before you reach and fix. Now enjoy your meal and remember you are in control. Think positive, drinking water before making discussions, take
 your time and be in control. You can do it. You are in control . You are the Star of of your Goal.
 
 
Take Time For YOU!!
