I am getting ready to go take my walk. It is so beautiful and sunny today I want to enjoy a quiet walk just by myself. Luckily the kids are about to nap and my oldest daughter is off from work. So I will do just me! Yay!!!
No worries Andy :) You have a wonderful day on purpose as well.

I hope that you all are doing great.
Today I am thankful for my family and true friends. This journey is never easy and when family and friends think of not making life tougher than it is for me during the holidays. I get all teary eyed and this fuzzy feeling inside.
The family asked me what would be good for Gino and I at Thanksgiving dinner. They didn't want to make stuff that would make us sick. That was so sweet of them. But I said no reason to change anything. We just have to behave and taste everything with one or 2 forkfuls.
Now tell me what are you thankful for.
Have a wondrous day on purpose!

Looking forward to trying out Jazzercise on Saturday. Ive been looking for something to fill in between Zumba on Mons and Weds. Jazzercise is on Tues, Thurs and Sat morning. Im planning on trying Saturday and see how it goes.
Im feeling successful and motivated today. Hope you do too!!
This is an old email I received from the Jillian Michaels program. I may not always share her philosophy, but for some reason this always stuck with me. Ive had this email saved in my inbox for years. Im actually feeling successful today. Its hard for me to accept success at times, but Im trying to enjoy it.
I thought I would share this with you. I know sometimes when I can call myself 'successful' I tend to take a step back. Hopefully re-reading this AGAIN, will help me to keep myself straight.
Stay the Course
So you're well on your way to achieving your weight-loss goals. Feels good, right? Remember, though, my program is about total health. Those changes you're implementing in your life? They've got to be PERMANENT, baby. You might get into a size 8, or have a six-pack to show off, but that doesn't mean you can cheat, get lazy, or stop counting your calories.
Keep in mind, all this work — mental and physical — is helping you look at your life in new ways, with deeper insight and understanding. The bottom line is this: You can never go back to your old way of life if you want to maintain your new physique. You're on the wagon, my friend. As with any kind of recovery, just because you're rehabilitated doesn't mean you can't relapse.
All that soul-searching and honest examination has to continue. All those behavior modifications and healthy, life-affirming habits you learned have to stay in place every day for the rest of your life.
I know, it sucks and it's hard. Whatever. It's the truth. The good news is that it will get easier. You'll get accustomed to how awesome it feels to treat yourself well, not to mention how awesome you look every time you catch your reflection in a store window or look in the mirror! Eventually, behaviors and choices you've had to think through will become gut instinct.
You can do this. Remember, you're doing it right now.
