It's 100 Days til Christmas Day!

I love the anticpation of Christmas! It is truly the best! Counting the days, planning, shopping, cooking, and all the joys that go along with this season...the cooler air, the hint of something fun just around the corner, the opportunity to plan a surprise for the people I love! Come on, ring those bells! Light the Christmas tree! OK...we can wait a few months for that one! :)

Striving on...

The Lifestyle Challenge is chugging along, but I must admit it is more of a challenge that I had expected! Maybe because I'm older? What a hateful thought! The fact is this: if I am going to lose weight, I am going to have to take in fewer calories than I burn each day, and if I'm not finding the time to move more and walk, then I am going to have to take in even fewer calories! I can do this--with God's help. And I must focus on improving the body image I have in my head, as well, and I must strive more for contentedness.
