Something to be Thankful For

It is two weeks until Thanksgiving. I decided to give myself something else to be thankful for this year. I am going to stick to my program and see what kind of results I have at the end of the two weeks. I have lots of things I am thankful for already. But I want to somehow put my weight struggle over with the things to be grateful for. Have a little victory to celebrate. Tuesday night I did a little mindless eating while watching the election results. But yesterday I was able to recover from that by sticking to my eating plan. I was way too tired,though, after getting only a few hours of sleep to exercise even though the Tae Bo videos arrived. I will break them out tonight.

I am still losing the few pounds that I gained during my slump but I should be able to break new weight loss ground soon.

I will end this rambling with a little part of a meditation I read this morning:

We are just where we need to be today. The experiences that we meet are like points on the map of our journey. Some of them are rest stops. Others resemble high-speed straight-aways. The journey to our destination is not always smooth, but the more we let God sit in the driver's seat, the easier will be our ride.
