Our health and our weight are things we manage. We don’t own a goal weight nor do we get to the “end” of achieving good health. It’s a continuous management process, therefore we MUST find peace within the process. The old way of thinking of our health as a diet with a beginning and an end no longer makes any sense. The “storm” as the quote says, will always be there in some form or another. Each day as well as every stage of our life is going to bring different joys and different challenges, so we can’t wait to be happy, wait to be content, wait for it to be “over” when we hit a certain number on the scale. Finding peace and contentment with healthy habits and making them part of who we are is the way to manage our health long term and feel good about doing it. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to wait, so let’s NOT….Let’s be joyful and grateful on this rainy, stormy Thursday for where we are and what we have and then let’s act like it by not letting anything stand in our way.

Sue's clever little sign is absolutely right...so let's take control of our thoughts AND our actions today and make it a FABULOUS Thursday, June 9, 2011!!!!!!
