Adina’s Cute & Perky Blog!

I went to eat Chinese food with a friend from work yesterday.  And I ate clean, don’t y’all worry!  Just a California Roll.

But anyway…as we were leaving, I noticed the cookies by the door.  Our waitress had forgotten to give us one.   And isn’t that half the fun of going to eat Chinese food?  Watching everyone open their cookie and read their fortune?

And…yeah…our group still plays the game where you add “in bed” to the end of every fortune as we read them out loud.  What can I say?  Not a lot to do in the piney woods of deep east Texas.

But anyway…there at the door was the biggest basket of fortune cookies I had EVER seen!  It was a like a laundry basket! 

So I stood over it, eyeing them all.  Yes, I was going to reach in and get my cookie!

Carefully I perused the cellophane-clad morsels.  I picked the package with just the right look.  After all, my fortune was contained therein!  Shouldn’t I be careful choosing my fortune?!

And I laughed when I read, “What’s the point of having a mind if you can’t change it?”

And y’all know how I relate everything to health and fitness…so….

Half of all that we do is mental and involves changing our minds.

I had to change my mind about overeating all the time.

I had to change my mind about being a couch potato.

I had to change my mind about who I hung out with.

And maybe some of you need to change your mind about drinking too much.

Smoking.

Being lazy.

Being committed.

Dedicating yourself to the task at hand.

Because let me tell you how the cookie crumbles….

What’s the point of having a mind if you can’t change it…in bed!!!

Sorry…had to throw that in!

For today…be a cookie. Change your mind about something and get after it!
