 This Holiday Season lets reflect on all we are Thankful for!  I am first and foremost thankful for my family and friends.  2nd I am grateful for the wonderful tool I was given 7 years ago.  This Holiday Season I intend to recommit myself to using that tool and not abusing it!!  I would like to wish you all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I was sitting at my support group meeting tonight thinking about my journey.  There have been so many people coming to the group as of late that are just starting their journey.  October 7th will be my official 6 year anniversary of becoming a loser and April this year was 4 years as a support group leader !!  I have faultered from time to time over the last couple years and have re gained about 40lbs.  Tonight, I was looking at these people and thinking Hey, you are their leader & they are looking at you to be their example.  I have avoided the Dr. because it seems ever time I go she rags on me about the weight.  I didn't start this journey to fail.  I did it to become a healthier me.  If I am going to continue to lead this group, I must recommit to myself that I live what I preach.  The other day, I stepped on a scale at my mother-in-law's house and was quite shocked to see I am back to 210lbs.  I have not gained anything this last year and actually in the last month lost 10lbs.  I accredit that to the travel we have been doing and the watching what I eat.  I am not getting daily exercise but, we have been walking a lot at the places we have been going like the zoo, split rock lighthouse, and Mall of America.  I was walking with my husband and new puppy quite a bit in the spring until I fell and severely sprained my ankle and thought my foot was broke, also busted a tooth and bruised myself pretty good.  Spent 2 weeks on crutches and missed a lot of work.  I haven't walked much because I have been too scared.  I need to stay on track.  I start work again in about 7weeks.  Where did the summer go?
