  • QOTD, Tuesday, November 8th: With the Thanksgiving season upon us, it's a great opportunity to share at least THREE things that we are thankful for this year!

    1. I am so thankful that I married my best friend this year. He is such a good man, and I feel so lucky that he chose me to be his wife!
    2. I'm thankful that we are both employed in this down economy and that we are financially prepared for emergencies.
    3. I'm thankful for all of the people who are supporting me in my weight loss journey. Most of all, my fitness coach at the gym (his nickname is Silk, and he's got an amazing body and sweet personality - what a combo!), my hubby who works out with me and pushes me to run faster/longer and Rebecca (aka shydaisi) who has kept me going for the past 6 weeks! THANK YOU!

    "Just stopped by to say awesome mini challenge. My abs were screaming by the end."

    Way to push it girl!! It's a good pain right? For some reason planks make me feel like a rock star. I'm glad it worked for you!!

    AWESOME question!

    1. My husband - he's practically perfect. Life is bliss - 6 yrs into this forever deal and we still feel like we're on our honeymoon.
    2. The ability to change - my body is stronger and healthier than it has been in years.
    3. the copious amounts of blessings I'm given daily by HF.

    1) My husband of almost 2 years. He is so loving and its amazing to feel like he truly wants to be my partner.
    2) My job; in today's economy I am truly blessed to have worked for my company 23 years and counting and make a really good wage!
    3) My health; After spending so many years not healthy, on so many medications and not being able to move, I am thankful everyday for where I am now.

    Thanks for the opportunity to reflect!

    I love this question!!!
    1. I am so thankful for my husband. He supports me in all the things that I want to do with my life and he cheers me on.
    2. I am thankful that I have a family that is close and love each other (on both sides; his and mine). And I just found out that I have an uncle that I didn't know about who was adopted out when he was a baby.... so my family just got a little bit bigger. :smile:
    3. I am thankful that my job has allowed me to travel so much this year. Vegas twice, Switzerland (and Ben got to join), and Singapore this week. What a blessing!
    4. I am thankful that I have been able to stay motivated to lose this weight. It is easy to lose sight of our goals when life gets busy, but I have been able to keep up my pace, and continually lose weight (even with all the traveling). I am now 5 lbs away from my new goal, and hit my original goal yesterday!!!!
    5. I am thankful for my annual vacation that is coming in just 31 days!!! Caribbean cruise here I come!


    I could go on and on and on..... What a great question of the day. :flowerforyou:

    1. I am thankful for the freedoms we have in this country - one of the greatest is to be able to thank God for all He has done for me and my family.

    2. For my wonderful husband of almost 32 years and for all of my family.

    3. For the opportunity to be able to stay home and keep my sweet grandson (at least for now) after loosing my job in August.

    1) I am thankful that yesterday my boyfriend set up his MFP account and is logging!!! I just hope he sticks with it.

    2) I am thankful for the middle class upbringing from my parents that allowed my bf and I to go to college and get stable jobs with regular paychecks and health insurance

    3) I am thankful for all my friends and acquaintances at work, on MFP, and in my social groups. You all make my life happier.

    QOTD, Tuesday, November 8th: With the Thanksgiving season upon us, it's a great opportunity to share at least THREE things that we are thankful for this year

    1) I am thankful for my family and my boyfriend. There is probably not one day that goes by where I don't say when someone is getting on my nerves but their love and support keeps me going and keeps me sane.

    2) I am thankful for my job. I know there are a lot of people out work and facing difficult times. Even though I complain some days, I am so thankful that I have a job.

    3) I am thankful for my health. I watched my 25 y/o sister fight for her life this summer and lose. I see now that our temples are a precious gift from the maker. Everyday I wake up and ask God for the strength, wisdom and determination I need to take care of my body. I know I can do much better but I know I'm in the process of change and that feels great.

    I have actually only done this challenge. I haven't joined any other groups mostly because I don't have the time. This challenge pushes me enough for now.
