Doing Good!

I have officially lost 5 pounds this month!!   I am very excited about that, because I am moving  closer to my goal!   I am focusing on a day at a time.  Waking up each morning, planning out my goals for the day, and then following through and making them happen.   I know I have been blessed in this too.   I am sure you know that too by reading my posts.   When I am consistent and giving what I can,  the Lord has always taken care of the rest.   When I struggle or have fallen "off the wagon,"   I tend to become Eeyore-like in my attitude.

I am grateful to be surrounded by some many supportive people.   I am sure there are many who will never know how far-reaching their examples have gone.  But I am watching, and admire them, and their willingness to cheer me on!

Last night we had a Relief Society activity on Health and fitness, and it was nice to sit there and think, "Yep I am working towards it!"   It was a great frame of mind to have instead of one that made me feel guilty.   I do have to say that my scripture reading is truly and integral part of this experience.   Reading has sustained me, pushed me, and encouraged me to look at my life in many different lights.   It is the force behind my desire to change and draw closer to the Savior.   And more importantly they are my testament of the Savior's power, and reading them and then seeing that power in my own life is one of the greatest blessing I know.

Today,  I thought often of how blessed I am, and grateful I am for the opportunity to keep plugging along.   To move forward in faith, to stand courageously and step towards the direction I need to.   I have much work to do, but I love the feeling of progress!!
