Thursday

Thursday's are the hardest day of week for me - one day away from Friday. I had to succumb to a cup of coffee this morning - yes I love coffee - and I needed to feel more awake and ease my aching body. The morning ache isn't so bad that I can't get up and get going - but honestly it does encourage me to stay warm in bed. I am going to bed earlier and getting more rest so my spirit feels more rested, but not my body.

There is another blog I read regularly - 125 - written by a young women who is committed to losing weight and running. I love her for her honesty and humor. Here is of a list of things she says to herself that I - if I am being honest - I think some of them too......

The highlighted one are things I have said and still say to myself - I did it yesterday - I was eating ginger lemon cookies and I was still hungry so I took out 2 more and then I said to myself "what the hell - lets finish the box."

I will add more of my own lies I tell myself as I come across them.....
