Wednesday - The little voice

You know the little voice that tells you to slow down when you're driving or reminds you to turn off the coffee pot in the morning, that little voice is God. So next time he whispers to you, listen. It could help.

Tuesday - Still Crazy

I've found that the only good thing about crazy days is that they go by quickly. Thank the good Lord. I was up to my eyeballs today with lots. But I am thankful every day that I have a job that I love. And when I'm busy I don't even think about eating candy. That's right folks, another day without candy at work! And a weird workout. I het a little thrown off when I can't get on my favorite treadmill. So I ended up on the elliptical for 10, running the track for 15 and then on the treadmill for 20. Like I said kinda crazy!! But again, I'm so very thankful to be able to exercise. I guess what I'm saying is that even though it's been a crazy day I'm still grateful for it!!!

Blessings & Thanks,

Monday - Crazy Monday

Just back from Thanksgiving break and I'm covering for 2 other supervisors. Talk about a bit of crazy!! But I did get some much needed relief in the gym. Oh how I missed my treadmill. I felt so much better when o got home. And yet another day with no candy at work!! Yeah me! So did all of you get back on your schedule after eating too much this Thanksgiving? Of not there's always tomorrow.

Thanksgiving

I am very thankful today. Thankful that I ate too much, that means that we had a place to be and food to eat. Thankful that my husband irritates me. That means I have someone in my life I love and who loves me. Thankful that I have to slow down and wait on my Mom. That means that a year after her stroke my Mom can walk and talk. God has given me so very much. Much more than I deserve. Thank you Lord all the wonders in my life. May I never take them for granted.

Blessings & Thankful,
Magnolia

Sunday - Cookies & Cleaning

Cleaning the house for Thanksgiving and baking cookies for J to take to work. All that and church, lunch out and the grocery store. I think that's a pretty full day. But I thank God for every minute!!

Saturday - Nice Day

Ok, just to update you....I didn't eat candy at work all week long! I know right!!! Am I sick? Nope, just busy and that led to a "can I do it everyday" type of challenge. Which is good I think. Challenging yourself with small things can be such a confidence booster. So, I'm very proud of myself. Now onto what we did today. Not a whole lot, just some eyebrow waxing and grocery buying. Except for the desserts that we indulged in (mine was a red velvet cupcake). And no I'm not going to eat the whole thing in one sitting!!! Or at least I don't think that I will. I guess we'll just have to see won't we!

Blessings & Challenges,

Thursday - 3 Whole Days

That's right. 3 whole days with no candy at work!!! And I changed my workout tonight so that I'm not struggling so much and work from that point. Needless to say my workout was way more enjoyable tonight. My lesson for the week (or month) is if you're struggling then just dial it back a little. You need to enjoy what you're doing.

Blessings & 3 Days,
Magnolia
