Well as of Yesterday I am officially down 10 pounds...YAY! I could not be more excited. I have however learned, or realized I should say, that the number on the scale is not quite as important as what you actually see in the mirror. What I mean by that is, lean muscle obviously weighs more than fat and by gaining lean muscle while I am loosing the fat I may not see the numbers drastically drop as quick as people on "diets", that are not gaining the lean muscle like I am, do. I do have to admit that this is one of my favorite things about the Body by Vi challenge. You don't just loose weight, you gain lean muscle and improve your overall health. I feel great, I look great and last weekend I wore a pair of jeans to the movies that just a few months before I couldn't even get the buttons to touch. I am one happy woman right now, as if you couldn't tell :-)
So on a new note now, I am preparing Thanksgiving dinner again this year, only it will be a very small dinner of just myself, my husband, Peanut and my mother. my two older boys will be spending the Holiday with their dad and the rest of my family is either going somewhere else this year or working. I am however still preparing a wonderful meal and the four of us will enjoy it just the same. I am so thankful for all the many blessings God has given my family and myself this past year. I hope everyone remembers to thank him daily and not just once a year. A good friend once pointed out a beautiful quote to me and it tugged at my heart and stuck with me. "What if tomorrow you woke up with only what you thanked God for today" Author unknown to me. That is wisdom. So on that note, rember to thank God daily for everything you have big and small and remember the people who are less fortunate because there really are so many.
That is all for tonight. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and as always something to smile about!
