Leaving the past behind

Every time I step on the scales and see a new number I realize that I am no longer going to see those old numbers again, they are in the past. That's a great feeling because I love leaving them in the past...that's where they belong. You always here, the past is the past for a reason...it's so true, you don't want to repeat it. This morning I was having a hard time finding something to wear, it hasn't made sense for me to overhaul my closet yet, I know that day is coming. But my choices of clothes that fit is very minimal, everything else just hangs on me. Anyways, I have a black dress shirt in my closet that has been a staple of my outfits for years, this black shirt use to be so tight on me, well I haven't tried it on in a few months...so I went for it, yeah it's to big now...but I wore it anyways for "old times". But after today...I think I'll have to give it a different home.

Happy Friday everyone! Make it a great day!

8 pounds...

8 pounds away from entering a whole new number! I'm excited and can't wait to break through that number soon. I love seeing little bench marks when I have blah days. It's a little reminder to me that everything is ok and that no matter how blah it gets, there are always good things to think upon. I read this quote often "Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day." We just have to realize it!

Make this an even better day then yesterday! I know I will.

Got the W

So I've heard people use this phrase lately...."I got the W"...which means they got the win. Well last night many people across our country got the W. So that's pretty cool...2 years ago we where told there would be change....no one ever said if it would be good or bad change, you can decided. But we should never be afraid of change if it's for the good, it might be scary and we might wonder how we're going to get there, but embrace change and go with it. I'm thankful everyday that I took on the change for my life. I look at myself and I'm thankful for this "new" beginning. If there is anyone out there that doesn't know if they can do, let me tell you this...you can and you will. I believe it!

While I'm waiting...

I have to say, if you haven't heard the song While I'm Waiting by John Waller, I highly recommend it. It seems to be my life song at the moment. Seems to be appropriate in so many situations lately. I was excited to use my right to vote this morning. It was fitting, the moon was bright even though it was a sliver in the sky, but it was cold, dark and just the light from the moon was out....something about this morning and knowing that I have a freedom to make a choice and not be killed for it, that I could walk in with out someone beating me up or voting in fear. No one knows how long that will last...but for right now, I am thankful to have a freedom...but while I have this freedom I am waiting... listen to the song, this will all make sense once you do.


Yesterday I had a moment of weakness ( I didn't give in ) but I was in the mood for a zagnut bar. Not sure why, it's been years since I've had one. My mom use to get them when she had her own school, sometimes people would bring her boxes of them...they where good. Not sure if it was the memory of it or if I was just bored at that time, but I just walked away from what I was doing and focused on something else...the weakness went away. :)

GO vote and make it a great day!

The moments that take our breath away

This past weekend I got the chance to spend some time with my new niece Elle. I am so excited for my brother and sister in law. It was such a priceless experience to see them as parents, they are going to do great! Elle is blessed to have them as a mom and dad. I loved holding her and reflecting on when Makayla was that size...and now she's 5. Where does the time go? Just makes us realize that we are blessed and that we are to take nothing for granted.

Not sure what this week will bring...but I will embrace everything and take nothing for granted.
