A Lot to Be Thankful For

This year, my turkey day will be a lot different. No pie, no stuffing, no bread, no pie, no butter on my mashers, no pie on my plate this year. I am normally the one that is jumping for joy thinking about the food pile I will consume. But this year I’m keeping my eyes on the prize. And although I do not get to enjoy Thanksgiving in the traditional way, I still have so much to be thankful for!

When I wake up in the morning, I have to constantly be thankful. When I start to lose sight of what I have been blessed with (good and bad) I instantly become selfish. I lose my motivation to press on toward the big prize. I become lazy because I forget that my life belongs to the people I surround myself with. That means that when I am self consumed I have forgotten that the world is not about me and my energy and strength is for others and not for myself. At the same time, I can not forget to take time for myself. Taking care of the life I have been given. Investing in myself so I can then invest in the people around me. 

I hope I say this every blog, but seriously I would not be her today with Lana. I have chosen to change my life, but she has been the one pushing and pulling me along. If she was not in the picture, I would not be where I am today. My Doc told me that the best way to invest in myself is to hire a personal trainer. PLEASE consider it a gift to yourself to be trained in a gym atmosphere, even if it’s in a group class like Boot Camp.  You will be so thankful you made the choice for you.

This week what are you thankful for?
