Saturday~

Hello Family and Friends!

Well today is Saturday, I know all day long!, and what a day it has been thus far!.  So many things going on and so many things changing within my life circle and trying to balance all is just a mild understatement.  First and foremost I am very excited to be moving back to Wilmington and hopefully reconnect with some friends, and be able to enjoy life away from home!

How is everyone doing with his/her life balance and are you finding struggles to be strong and if you are not able to be strong are you able to move past the struggle and jump back on board with the goal you have set for yourself? Remember each day is a new beginning and chapter for you to write and make any necessary changes!

For me I was in Wilmington this past week and noticed myself in the "MIRROR" and let me just say I was not happy with the reflection looking back at ME! SO when I returned home to Raleigh, I recommitted myself to getting back on track with reaching my goal! OH YEAH!!! I know you are saying yes, we have heard that before. WELL TH IS TIME is has to be spot on. First I purchased new clothes and I absolutely refuse to buy another new wardrobe that must be larger in size! That is just pure craziness for all the hard work I have done thus far!

A good motivator for me was my "MOM" had a pair of pants on her bed that were way to big for her, so I tried them and low and behold they fit me! OH YEAH! So now I am back to eating 20 carbs per day and walking my 2 miles, and doing some swimming until we move. Our new place will have a pool however; they are in the middle of construction so I am not sure when the "new pool" will be open for swimming this summer. Exercising can come in any form as long as you are using your muscles and burning and energy!

I certainly hope you all find peace with the choices you have made and are going to make! Just remember take one step at time and if you have too, one hour at a time. This helps to decrease your anxiety about beginning this new life journey! One-day at at time is motto you should include your daily mantra!  Remember I am here to listen and offer you guidance from personal experience!

God Speed!
