Day 6

Today's task was to check in with my Diet Coach. I have two people who are unofficially my diet coaches -- unofficially, because I haven't asked them officially to hold that esteemed position.

I check in with Kim daily. Not just about diet stuff, but the very fabric of my life. She's the one who smooths things out when the fabric gets a snag or gets torn or gets worn out. No one knows me as well or puts up with as much as she does.

... well, now that I think about that, there are a lot of people who put up with a lot from me, primarily Earl, my hunny-bunny.

And then there is Gigi, who has courageously stepped into the Beck waters with me. We don't check in every day, but often enough that I know I need to mind my p's and q's. Not to mention my treats and snacks.

Both of them are grand encouragers, and there would be a great void in my life and my heart without them. Thank you, dear friends!

Today Gigi and I went to the Christian Chamber of Commerce in Lakeland. We were pleased to hear Pierre Chastang, Station Manager of WKES, 91.1 FM, Central Florida's Moody Radio Affiliate. Kate Bruington and Ron Maxwell from New Day Florida were also there, and I got to talk to Kate. I was delighted to receive her business card and a hug.

Overall, I made some good contacts for my business, Electronic Marketing Success -- you can check out my website here, and even download my free report, "7 Principles for Success in a Challenging Economy."

So, what is it I do? I work with solo-preneurs to help them breathe new life into their business through electronic marketing strategies, such as a website, blogs, electronic newsletters, social networking, article marketing, and implementing a keep-in-touch strategy.

Businesses today need to be smart about where they spend their marketing dollars, and they need to take advantage of the new trend to information marketing... and when I get started writing or talking about this kind of stuff, I forget about eating -- so you might be hearing more!!

Gigi went to the Christian Chamber meeting to represent her new business, too. She is The Classical Instructor, and you can check out her website here for more information.

So, back to the food thing for a minute... I had to fast this morning for blood work, so I didn't get any coffee until after 9:00. Heavy sigh. Then I went home and had an egg-beater omelette and COFFEE. Mmmmm. Contented sigh. For lunch I had a chicken breast and green beans. Two teeny little potatoes. Water. Dinner was nice - Earl and I went to Applebees and I had a 7 WW Point sandwich. Very satisfying. A WW Ice Cream bar this evening. More water. And now it's time for bed. Nighty night!
