Week 19

Happy Mother's Day to you all!! 
This week I lost .5 pounds again.  I am truly hoping to get better numbers over the next few weeks before my trip to California.  I've been thinking about my mom a lot this week.  She told me that when she wanted to drop a few pounds, she'd just have a candy bar and a coke for the day, and nothing else.  Ha Ha!  Such an interesting diet plan.  But I thought she always looked good.  She told me during her cancer treatments, when she couldn't keep anything down, that she'd never worry about weight again.  She just wanted to feel good and be able to enjoy food.  So, I feel today I should be grateful for the better habits I've developed, and for being able to enjoy a good meal or a fun treat, and know that my body will use the energy to carry me through my life.  As I strive to be healthy, I will strive to be happy and enjoy life's journey.  That's something my mother taught me.
