Tyler, Texas Weight Loss: Secret equals self sabotage

July 22nd, 2010

On the one hand, keeping your weight loss goals to yourself only makes sense.  After all, if you give up after a few days there’s no one there to criticize you or judge you.  If you do succeed, then you’ll have the upper hand to surprise those who have not seen you in a while, which is a great ego boost.  Mostly, there won’t be the constant, nagging, and annoying questions of what type of plan you are on, how things are going, and how many pounds you’ve managed to get rid of.

On the other hand, keep your weight loss a secret could be a recipe for disaster.  The very reasons for keeping quiet are the same reasons your chances for success are quite low.  There is no accountability and no motivation to push through beyond your own often finicky thoughts.  It is very easy to rationalize eating that doughnut to yourself if no one is there to discourage you and help keep you on the path to success.

While it is difficult to tell your Tyler, Texas friends and family of your intentions knowing there is a possibility of not living up to your goals, having a source of accountability can do wonders to keep your motivation high in those times where you are ready to give up.  It also helps to have a strong support system for encouragement and help. If you are serious about losing weight, let it be known.

Brookshire’s Pride

March 23rd, 2010

The Brookshire’s grocery company has been named one of the top companies to work in the state of Texas. I totally agree with this award. Although I know that most people do not want to go to work in the morning, honestly, who does? Brookshire’s offers great benefits to their employees. But something that has always impressed me is that it is honestly a family-centered business. Every year they have events to honor their employees and their employee’s families.

Brookshire’s has a camp ground on Lake Palestine available for their employees and family. Every year they put on picnics to honor the workers for every part of Brookshires. Not only do they have great food but they also give away great prizes, including the flat screen television that is now hanging up in my bedroom. Brookshires has a small house available for employees and their families to stay at if they are in need, or if they have undergone some sort of disaster.

Brookshire’s has always been a family friendly company. In 1928 Wood T. Brookshire opened a small store downtown square in Tyler. Wood along with his brothers owned several different stores in East Texas. In 1939 the partnership dissolved. Brookshire was founded with the motto of “people first, profits will follow”. In 1953 Brookshire opened its first warehouse. Now Brookshires has more than 150 supermarkets throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Not only do they own the Brookshire Grocery Company, but also Super 1 Foods, and Ole Foods.

Tyler has the premiere Brookshire’s located on Rice Road. This store is the nicest store in Tyler. You are always treated with respect and the employees are always helpful. One thing that I love about the Brookshire’s Company is the fact that the employee carries out your groceries to your car for you. When you are trying to balance two children, and digging through your purse trying to find your keys, it is nice to have someone hired to put the groceries into your car.

Brookshire’s employees volunteer. The company looks at this as their way to give back to the community. All level jobs within the company find opportunities to give back, whether it is running for breast cancer or if it is cleaning the creek at Rose Rudman Park.

Brookshire Grocery Company is a great place to shop for you and your family. Their goal has been not only to make the store convenient to your needs but to also be a great experience for you and your family.
