Down by 2.5 lobs!! :) Psyche! Yippee! The scale was down 2.5 lbs. today-PTL! Yay! I’m 4 pounds away from my first short term goal! I should be there in a couple of weeks. Did I say yay!?! 
I went to yoga this morning. It was good. I always feel taller when I come out of that class. I guess it’s because we stretch so much. I didn’t get either of my DD’s to go but one of my BFF’s did come. She’s had a stressful week and she daid it helped relax her a lot. I needed it b/c my muscles are hurting from the weight machines yesterday. I only did 25 reps on each machine at a low weight (I didn’t get above 50 pounds) but I did it. I was tempted to really push and do 50 reps but I figured I’d scare myself right out of weights all together.
Work is still stressful but I am choosing joy. I’m not going to let something so temporary as a job steal my peace and my joy. It needs to be dealt with and I am updating my resume and praying but no more joy or peace stealing. I refuse to give the situation that much power. We are going out to lunch for someone’s bday today so that will be nice. I picked a healthy lunch: grilled roast beef, salad, corn and cooked carrots. It’s not what I’d planned on getting but it’s what I want! Dinner tonight will be a salad. I’m doing well with my choices, through God’s strength. This healthy lifestyle surely has improved my prayer life “oh, Lord, please remove that pan of brownies from the kitchen at work and help me not kill the person who brought it” :)
One thing my Bible study has done is suggest that you never put more than one bite in your mouth at a time. I never realized how often I go to put food in my mouth when I am still chewing on my previous bite until I started chewing deliberately. So, that’s one thing I’m working on this week.
That’s it for now. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be. Abraham Lincoln
Let’s choose to be happy or better yet; joyful. Sometimes life is hard but all the time God is good.
