DAY 9

First of all, I want to thank you for reading this. Your support (and comments) mean a lot to me. A lot. So thank you for taking the time to read about my journey and for reminding me that I can do this.

This has been an extremely busy day! I'm so ready for a good night's rest...no more of this can't go to sleep but have to get up early stuff.

I have behaved quite well today, too. Too busy to be hungry or have the munchies really, but made good food choices throughout the day. (Although the Cream of Broccoli soup that Chloe brought home from the restaurant she works at was more than likely NOT low-fat, it was still within my daily points limit. I only had a small amount and it was delicious!)

TOMORROW'S GOALS:
1) continue this tracking trend
2) continue making wise choices (asking myself, "is this [food] worth it?")
3) continue with the positive outlook -- only I can make the changes necessary
4) and I'm doing my best to stay OFF the scales until my official weigh in at WW on Wednesday night -- I want to be pleasantly surprised

So I close out today feeling satisfied. Satisfied with progress. Satisfied with choices. Satisfied with myself. Satisfied with life.

Before I sign off for the night, I want to share with you a few lines from my devotion today. Talk about perfect timing!!!

"...You may encounter many obstacles as you move toward your goal, but don't be discouraged - never give up! ...Do not expect an easy path as you journey hand-in-hand with Me, but do remember that I, your very-present Helper, am omnipotent. ...Instead of dashing head-long toward your goal, let Me set the pace. Slow down, and enjoy the journey in My Presence."

Such a gentle reminder for me to take baby steps :)
