It's in the little things

I don't really have a lot for today...just know that it's in the little things that matter the most. I will embrace this!

Can't say I'm happy about getting on the scales this morning and seeing something I haven't seen in a long time...I gained 2 pounds....BUT it's not the end of the world, I'll get rid of those as fast as they came on. :)

Weight loss: +2

Total Weight loss: -128 pounds.

Some day's are better then others

Waking up at 4 in the morning is never a fun thing for me. I find that the only reason I am up that early is because I have a lot on my mind. That is the case this morning. I couldn't shut my brain off long enough to sleep another hour or so before I had to get up. I thought about Christmas, work, family, my life, people, friends and everything in between. Not really sure why this happens, but when it does it's a reminder that one, I need to be praying and two that there is some lesson that I am to be learning right now......unsure as to what it is, but I will wait and see. :)

May this day be full of blessings to you and your family!

Weight loss: -1 pound

Total Weight loss: -130 pounds! FINALLY!!!!

Temptation

So I log onto my facebook page today and I am welcomed by this picture....

Really!!!!! Talk about temptation at it's finest. All I could do was to ckick out as fast as I could. For some reason I wanted to just drive to the Cheesecake Factory and order a piece. Interesting how pictures, images can do that to us. Over the last few days I've been looking through the photo albums that I have on my facebook and remembering some good times, some not so good times...but realizing how much has really changed. How people, situations, locations have changed. I love change!

Enjoy the day...dont' be tempted to eat the image! HA

New years...

3 weeks it will be a new year. Doesn't seem possible! What new years resolutions will you be making? I can honestly say that this year for the first time I won't be making a new years resolutions to lose weight. I'm pretty excited about that. Mainly for the fact that it won't be my main focus. Maybe for the first time I can focus on something of more importance...not that weight is not. Please don't get me wrong. But what I'm trying to say is that for years that's all I've been focused on and for the first time I might be able to think of something else. I'm very thankful to be putting this part of my life behind me and moving onto other things. It feels great!

So I wonder what things will I want to make better, improve in 2011. I believe that this year for a lot of us will be a year of trials. The economy has tanked and all of us are just one step away from a major catastrophe. Each day I am thankful for that day, I no longer plan for the "future" because we are only given today. I would encourage, challenge each of you to find something in your life that you've been putting off...for whatever reason and make a decision to take care of it this year, finish it, start it, whatever "it" is...don't wait.

I'll think about this and in the next few days I will let you know what my "it" is and together we'll make this a successful, meaning 2011~

Enjoy the weather...love the snow!

Weather like this...

Boy oh Boy...weather like this makes me want to stay in and eat. What gives? Not sure if it's the cold outside or just the fact that when the weather gets like this, you can't just go out and do things...so yesterday I found myself starting to graze and I am paying for it this morning. I feel ugh! I don't want to get into that habit nor do I want to have this be the norm this holiday season. So I am going to find something to keep me busy....

Thankful for yesterday, had the chance to have lunch with two very special people in my life. It was good to catch up, know how to pray for one another and be encouraged by our lives. GOD is good all the time!

9 months

So I've been at this journey for 9 months. Sometimes it doesn't seem possible, other dys it just seems like yesterday. But so thankful and so glad that I continue to move forward with it.

** This was from yesterday:

Today I took a break from cold calling and stopped at a Starbucks to check my email and grab a venti hot chocolate. I had stopped at this Starbucks about 2-3 months ago while I was in the area. Today I went to order and the very nice barista says to me, “you’re the venti hot chocolate, extra hot right, no whip and skim milk girl?” You could have pushed me over with a feather! Really, how in the world did he know that? I mean he talks to hundreds of people and makes hundreds of differnet drinks and combinations...so how? I had only been here once before but that was months ago. Once I closed my mouth and said yes, I asked how in the world did you know that? His response, it’s my job to know my customers. That’s just it, we are on this earth to get to know people, how the click, what they do and how they work. That’s our job. He’s just really good at it. I stepped away with my perfect drink and thought to myself if I could just remember where I put my keys that would be a success. But in all seriousness, we are made to care for one another; we are made to remember each other. We’re made to make each other smile. So get to know those around you and take nothing for granted!

Another pant size!

Nothing like waking up this morning and putting on a smaller pant size! Love it! I feel great and I am so thankful to be in this size again. I've been here before but it was years and years ago. SO good to be back. :) Of course I look forward to trying out the other smaller sizes too!

Small things like this make up for when we feel ugh or just down right frustrated. It's the small things that we need to cling too and embrace. Today I will embrace my new size pants and make this a good day!
