Celebrating today…just another day on the journey.

Today we celebrate a new beginning. A new year…a new day…a fresh start. That’s a good thing, and I embrace it!

Last week I blogged about two weeks of downs/struggles that caused the scale to move in the wrong direction and me to lose my emotional edge. It also had me worried that health issues (I will spare you the details) would interfere with my plan and progress longer term. Read more

Remember to fulfill the promise you made to yourself

These past few weeks have been tough. And it is in these tough times that I am reminded to keep it simple. To keep the promise that I made to myself about nine months ago – to put Lori in the equation…one moment, one day at a time…day after day after day. Read more
