Wow... I haven't posted in a while.

:) Not sure if that's good news or not... But I have been busy. And the weather has really brought me down, mentally and physically.

That said, I am blessed to wake up every day. We do not know when our time will come, so we make the most of each day we have. I'm working on being a more pleasant person. To myself. I'm pretty sure I do a good job treating others well, not so sure I treat myself as well. I'm hard on myself. Expect at lot from myself. Beat myself up over things I have no control over. But I do have control over how I react to situations. And I'm going to work harder on that.

The weight loss journey has been slow... :(  I did commit to the Atkins Diet and I'm seeing little signs of success. My weight has been fluctuating in a 5 lb range so it's hard to know how much I'm actually "losing". So when I put on a pair of slacks for work and they feel just a bit looser, I'm smiling! I have a coworker/friend at work that is doing Atkins too and we are a wonderful support team! Along with the ladies from church, this may actually work for me this time.

Tonight the family is celebrating the birth of my son 28 years ago! Unbelievable. I can't believe I'm old enough to have a child that age :) I'm so proud of him. Tonight is our annual stuff-yourself dinner at Red Lobster! woohoo...

Keep smiling everyone!
