Random thoughts

I won this weeks weight loss contest. I honestly am amazed every time I place in the top three. Jed and Mike are doing an amazing job!

(Kudos to Tim, Kristen, and Jenn as

well!)

Here is my philosophy on losing weight. I look at it as a project. A "ME" project, in order for it to get done, I have to work on it daily. If I were an architect and building a model of some buildings, I would have to work on it and do something to it in order for it to be finished.

Going for a jog, or to the gym is working on it, however it is only half of the work. Carefully watching your diet is the other half. If I workout and then blow it with my diet, then it is like wrecking the model of buildings right after building them. Yes I do occasionally have a treat.

Do I do all of this on my own strength? No, there are many days I have to pray my way through it. Some days I don't even want to go to the gym, but my husband and I have this saying..."lace them up!" Doing so helps to at least do some sort of physical exercise. I have to daily remind myself of my weight loss goals, and do something to obtain that goal, even if it is just skipping a sweet or high calorie snack. I just pray that I do well through this holiday season!

Update

Just a quick update on my Uncle who suffered a massive stroke a few weeks ago. He is now at Northern California Rehabilitation Center on Eureka Way. He still can not speak, and the right side of his body is still paralized. He can however eat somewhat. He is having problems with aspiration, so he has to be carefully watched while he eats. He has developed a blood clot in his right leg. He needs a miracle. My heart goes out to both my cousins, and my father who has been taking care of my uncle's personal business. Thank you to those of you who have been praying. Continued prayer is needed.
