Thankful

This year, we have so much to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving week.
1.First of all I am so thankful for Jesus Christ for dying on the cross to save us from our sins.
2.I am thankful for a wonderful family and a loving husband.
me, mom and Houston at his thanksgiving luncheon
3. I am thankful for amazing friends.
4. I am thankful for a house to live in.
5. The food that goes on my table.
6. The cars I drive.
7. My job
8. And many other things in life I take for granted

This Thanksgiving we will celebrate by going to my great aunt's house like we have for the past 30 years and celebrate thanksgiving. She called and left a message saying they are baking 2 turkeys and frying one. YUMMY! I can't wait to spend the afternoon with family and chow down and eat. Of course tomorrow will be my cheat day and I will be lenient on the things I eat.

On another note, Friday will be spent shopping for Black Friday deals. I know, me and the hubby are crazy, but he is already talking about making a list of where to go and when. Also, Friday marks my one year anniversary of my weight loss journey. I was up to a loss of 57 pounds. I want to weigh again on Friday and have a total number. It has just been kinda hard lately and I feel like I have been at a standstill for a while now. But, I guess that it is better to be at a standstill than to gain any of it back, right?

I am going to close now. I have been out of school on fall break all week and have spent all day today decorating for Christmas inside and out of my house. I am exhausted! Hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving holiday spent with the ones you love!

  2. I am very proud of you and your weight loss journey...I know how hard it is! And you're exactly right...its better to be at a stand still than to gain it back, or to have never lost at all!
