And you thrived last year by staying focused, despite a few ups and downs. I so admire that. Looking forward to a wonderful, happy, pain-free year for you, my friend.

We find what we are looking for - so why not look for the surprises and find in joy in them? Having that as a daily goal sets us up for success and fills us with anticipation for what is ahead. I so need to use this in my daily life right now. Thank you for sharing this again. It sparked something in me!<br /><br />Blessings and Happy New Year.Tami@NutmegNotebookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734911958992997465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-20881017683880669792013-01-04T15:06:00.240-05:002013-01-04T15:06:00.240-05:00Nice photo!

So proud of you......You look MARVELOUS, my Dear!!!! So proud of you... Someone recently was complimenting me on my weight loss --and I wrote back saying that I was really proud of myself. That is a true statement. Only someone else who has achieved a goal like this can understand how I feel... I know that you understand. <br /><br />I also am pleased to announce that I made it through Nov/Dec without gaining... That is HUGE for me--who can gain weight by looking at something. AND--I did it by eating a little of some of the fattening things I love during Christmas --such as Eggnog... Gads---that stuff is nothing but calories!!!!! ha...<br /><br />My weight on 11/23: 140.6; on 12/21: 141.6; and on 1/4: 140.4..... I did it!!!!! Yeah! My doctor wants me to stay below 145 --and I have been doing that since I started maintenance in August... This is much harder for me though that being on a strict diet...<br /><br />My only goal in 2013 is to continue working on this maintenance and hope that in Jan. 2014---I can say that I am still at this weight....<br /><br />Have a great weekend.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-85327632434292349492013-01-04T10:29:06.355-05:002013-01-04T10:29:06.355-05:00I'm reading a wonderful devotional book named ...I'm reading a wonderful devotional book named "Jesus Calling" and I love it. It is a great way to start the day.<br /><br />The eight pound sick gain is strange, but I do the same thing. I can lay on the couch sick as can be and not eat a bite and gain weight. I know you'll get it right back off and maintain from here on. I'm glad for you that you have reached that place on your journey.<br />LoriLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348740719854853661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-88450646788746879362013-01-04T10:16:41.928-05:002013-01-04T10:16:41.928-05:00Wow, you snuck up on me there with two posts!

I will have to find my 'Bread for the Journey' that I got on your advice and put it into use again. He has such a wonderful way of thinking and a wonderful way with words.<br /><br />debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-35870664331483888452013-01-04T09:54:56.027-05:002013-01-04T09:54:56.027-05:00Fabulous smile!

My mother told me to always wake up in the morning thinking, "What fun thing could happen today?" and then expect something to happen. <br /><br />I am also 50 less pounds than my worst weight in 2006. Jinx! <br /><br />:-) MarionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.com
