Wednesday, Week 17:

Exercise:
I wanted to... but NO.


Daily comments:
I have been at home sick today.  Slept most of the day.  My doctor called in some antibiotics for me.  So hopefully I will be feeling better soon. 

Who has time to be sick?  Not me!!  I need to go shopping for some clothes to wear at Walt Disney World Florida.  My sweat pants/jogging suits do not fit anymore.  They are too BIG!!  That is such a joy to say... they are too BIG!!  I purchased them a little bit big so they would not cling to my legs and butt.  Well.. they are bagging now!!  It's so sad.....NOT!!  I did find one jogging suit in the back of my closet that had been too small... and it FITS!!  My Disney T-shirts had also gotten too small.  They all fit!  Hurray!!

Please pray I will be 100% soon!!

Tuesday, Week 17:

Exercise and Daily comments:
I woke up this morning feeling sick.  I am catching a cold or flu or something.  This is not good... a week before Disney.  So, no "bells" today.  Pray I get to feeling better fast!!

I have been sitting here watching 'The Biggest Looser".  Man!  Those participants have come a long way.  They have loss so much weight.  They look so much better!!  Then I thought I have come a long way.  I have lost 30 pounds.  I look so much better.  I am on a journey that I am enjoying.  I have 50 pounds to go to reach my goal and I am looking forward to loosing each and every pound.

On "The Biggest Looser" tonight, five participants competed in a race to the top of a hill.  They each had to don weights equaling the weight they had lost, 102 lbs, 112 lbs, etc.  This goldfish weighs 30 pounds.  It represents the 30 pounds I have lost.

I can not imagine donning that much weight again.  I mean.. look at that 30 pounds.  Why would anyone want to carry that around everyday on your arms, legs, thighs, and stomach.  Man!  I am so glad those 30 pounds are gone.  I want to remember how far I have come even when it doesn't feel that far and I want to keep going!!

If you are on a journey... keep it up!  You can do it!

Monday, Week 17:

Exercise:
Yes!  I woke up late but I did 15 minutes of "bells".


Daily comments:
Today was a very good Monday.  It was the first day back at work after a fantastic 4 days weekend.  There is lots of work to get done this week cause.... it's one week till Disney!!  Woo Hoo!

The house is decorated for Christmas!  It looks so good.  The only thing missing is  the lights on the outside of the house and of course shopping for the presents.  We will get the lights done sometime this week.  I decorated my office today for Christmas and listened to Pandora on my computer while I was working.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!


Inspirational Thought:

Ephesians 2:8-9

New International Version (NIV)

⁸ For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹ not by works, so that no one can boast.
