I can’t think of anything in particular that sparked it, but for some reason I feel incredibly blessed and grateful today. Although I dislike my body and losing weight has been hard work, I realize that I have few things in my life to complain about. I have a great job, wonderful family and supportive husband. I am a happy person and I like who I am. I know this is much more than many have. Tonight I just wanted to acknowledge that I’m thankful.

Today didn’t go exactly as I had planned. The day started on a high with a peek at the scale (despite my good judgment I weigh nearly every day). The number was the lowest one I’ve seen yet and it was BELOW 180!!! (Just barely below, but who cares right?) My eating could have been better. I had dinner … then dinner part 2,  and my day started and ended with sugar. Ah well … I’m headed to bed with a smile on my face.
