I love the holiday season, but I am starting to get that feeling that all mom's get with all that we have to do at this time of year. Thanksgiving is next week and we get to have all our family over for the big meal except for a precious few that can't come in from out of town. I am learning to take some deep breaths and spend some time daily asking God to give me peace and joy instead of stress and exhaustion. After all, let's put things in perspective---why are we celebrating anyway? I have committed to continuing the working out exercise during the next few weeks when it would be easy to let that go, but my trainer has not let up!! I look forward to WW weigh-in tomorrow and am in hopes that I will reach or even exceed the 20 pound loss mark.
