Well Hello Again.

This is not going to be a long post. Shocking as that statement may be, I'm a little under the weather and I have an early start tomorrow.

Due to my lack of lung capacity (the majority of it being taken up by a stubborn infestation of mucous), I haven't been to the gym in over a week. Nevertheless, it's Thanksgiving break anyway. Who wants to waste all that available family time sweating it out at the gym?? Actually, after falling off the proverbial wagon for nearly 3 months, I'm back on and with more determination than ever. Before today, I went 26 days without processed sugar and it was much easier than I had imagined. I'm down almost 10 pounds more making 35lbs in total...I think. Don't quote me on that one just yet.

Work stresses have made gym attendance a neccessity. Now that I'm quitting to go to school full-time to be a teacher, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel and I am moving forward, engines running full speed....almost. There are hiccoughs along the way that are creating a need for more breaks in this road trip than I had ever anticipated. I suppose that's what happens when one makes the correct decision.

My choices lately have been lazy ones. No scripture study, tired prayers, too much emphasis on this week's love interest...and I can feel that confidence and energy slipping from me. I am hoping to feel better by Saturday so that I can get to the gym and get myself psyched for the week. My friend Kat Davis and I are going to the temple tomorrow. I have nearly canceled-or at the very least prayed that she would do so-on several occasions. Luckily, I don't fall for the adversary's tricks that easily. I should hope that tomorrow will bring a more positive end.

This was not the most wonderful Thanksgiving holiday I've ever had. And shame on me for it.

Oh good. My Vicks is here. Heaven bless my little sisters!
