Woo Hoo Wendy!!  Sounds like you are doing great.  Congratulations.

Wendy, Congratulations on a job well done! You will hit your goal!! Sorry this is so belated, but I was out of town for part of Thanksgiving week and just saw this posting.

It is a lot of hard work, but so worth it.

 Gail, thanks so much. I always look to you as a good example. You inspire me. When I don't want to exercise, I remember how successful you have been with your program. It helps me get to Pilates class.

I never seem to do enough, but I remind myself, something is better than nothing. I should not seek perfection and give up entirely. I found a quote I like: "Best is good, better is best." In other words, I am striving rather than reaching a goal. It is the daily work and committment that pays off long term, not the big victories. The author of the quote said we can succeed with resolutions rather than goals which when achieved are over. Like saying I want to run a marathon, versus saying I want to stay fit. Both things have a place in our lives, but the resolve to keep going has the bigger pay off. Sometimes we are injured, don't feel well, lose interest, etc. But when we keep going in the face of those times, we support ourselves.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. I am nervous, but feeling confident facing the sweet temptations headed my way. I'm sure I'll think of you often.

Wendy, you're a huge winner in my book!  I was so sorry that you weren't working when I brought Zach by to meet you a few weeks ago.  I just think you're terrific!!  Visualize yourself having a wonderful holiday season.
