Getting in the right mind set.

First off I have been thinking and trying to get back on the diet wagon...not the diet wagon, but back to the lifestyle change. I have so much to be thankful for and so much to live for. I know you can't say "It will not happen to me it only happens to other people". If I don't continue to make good lifestyle changes I will just continue back down the road I don't want to go. I did not weigh in today...I actually forgot but then it was too late as we had eaten breakfast. I wasn't really looking forward to it, so I gave myself the week off and will weigh in next sunday, and that is okay....
Pete and I have so many plans for our future. Our kids are raised and have dreams of their own. We have so much to live for and so much to do...I love you Pete and look forward to our next adventure. Your heart attack in February really brought to life a new perspective. We can do this together.

Mom...I miss you so much. Your strenght and determination have been such an example to all of us. If you can go through what you did with a smile on your face and say I am lucky, there are so many people out there worse off than me, if this is what God is going to give me then He will help me through it. I guess we all have our crosses to bear...thanks for teaching me by your wonderful example. I love you and you still give me inspiration. I know you are there cheering me on because you struggled with your weight your whole married life and you want more for your kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. Thanks mom I know you are there everyday!!
