Saturday - Almost 2012

Have you made any resolutions? I'm still thinking of things I want to do, need to do, continue doing or need to stop doing, so in a nutshell, I haven't decided about any resolutions. I'm not exactly the kind of person that makes goals or resolutions. I suppose that I've always been scared of not fulfilling those goals. No goals, no failure. So I really need to think long & hard about what I need to do or not to do. One thing that I can say is that tomorrow, all of the junk food from Christmas is going in the trash can. I can't stand that stuff anymore, I've eaten enough and seriously don't want to see that stuff anymore. I suppose that's a start. And I think that I'll let God fill in the rest of the blanks. I'm sure that he's got plans for me this coming year, I'm not sure what they are, but I trust him. So cheers to 2011 and I'll see you next year.

Wednesday - Grace

Just when I was starting to get ticked about buying presents/baking/etc. God has a way of reminding me just what Christmas is about....

Thursday - something personal

I was asked today how much weight I've lost. I had to say that I didn't know. The fact is that I don't weigh myself. Never have. Never will. Why? Bottom line for me that weight is a number and that number does not define who I am or what I've accomplished. And I don't want to become obsessed with what a scale says. If you're someone who weighs themselves. I can only say from experience that it can be very disheartening. Just a thought for today.

Tuesday - still No Candy

Yep, that's right a whole month and still no candy at work. I'm so proud of myself. And yes it's okay to be proud of yourself. All of my red hots & skittles in my desk drawer are probably wondering what happened. Oh well I guess they'll just have to wonder. Other than that j and I have been busy with debutante balls and Christmas shopping. The ball is done and I've only got one more gift. Thank goodness. So how are things in your neck of the woods??

Tuesday - That Day

There's always that day at Christmas time when J and I have to stop & remember what this time of the year is all about. Today was that day. It's not about the decorations or the presents or the food. It's about Christ's birth and what that birth did for us. No Christ no salvation. It's pretty simple for me. That birth allows me to be able to see my grandmother and dad again. So when things get to be too much stop and remember what the season is all about and say a heartfelt thank you. I know I did.

Blessings,

Just Because

Monday - Oh My Gosh!

Another week/day with no candy at work. I can't explain the why or how. God works in mysterious ways. That's all I'm saying. Not to mention since no candy and tracking my calories & fitness for the last 4 weeks I down almost another pants size. Not planned might I add. I was perfectly content with the size I was. Oh well I guess I'll have to buys some more new pants. There could be lots of worst things. So I'm thankful. For whatever God does, I'm thankful. So what's been going on in your neck of the woods?
