I started off my day with "bells". Yes! I exercised on a holiday. I woke up early and I wanted to exercise to offset extra calories on this special day. Then I prepared deviled eggs and sweet potatoes before getting in the shower. We traveled to Terry and JoAnn's house (Steve's brother and his wife) and had a great time with family and friends. Here are a few pictures:

Today, Friday, we slept late!! Woo Hoo!! I slept till 8:45 a.m. I did NO "bells". I ate an apple and a banana in front of the TV and was lazy watching two Christmas movies on Lifetime. I got all misty eyed. It's the most Wonderful time of the year!! I loved it. Then after showering, I went and got a pedicure. Oooohhh that feels so good!
Family Game Night started at 5:00 p.m. We ate diner; Ham, asparagus, corn casserole, and purple hull peas. We celebrated Melanie's husband Chris's 30th birthday and ate cupcakes. We played with Arianna and we played Pictionary. We had a great time together!!
Inspirational Thought:
************************
Change requires the belief that change is possible for you. You are far more powerful than you believe yourself to be. You would not have made it this far if you were not capable of change.
************************
You must be willing to be uncomfortable as you push past your previous limitations. To lose weight permanently requires faith, faith that there is a bigger life waiting for you beyond food and weight. Faith is an eternal remembrance of home. Home is where the heart is.
************************
You eat your attitude. Choose to focus on the beauty and goodness in the world. Acknowledge all that is well in your world.
************************
Matthew 9:22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.
Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.
Matthew 21:21-22 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
