#Mamavation-Week 8

ARRUUGGHHHH.  Need I say more?  Yep I gained. Again :(  I am up to 211 pounds again. That number just ticks me off.  I tried not to overindulge during Thanksgiving, but the scale doesn't lie.  On the good news however I did complete the local Turkey Trot.  My time was not as well as I had hoped for but at least I did it.  But boy oh boy was I sore all over for 2 days after the race.  My back, legs, & ankles were just killing me.  But no pain, no gain!  I will definetly be doing that again next year.

What are you thankful for in your life?

I have a lot of things to be thankful for, I don't even know where to start.  First & foremost I am thankful that I have God in my life.  I may not always "talk" to him, & I may not go to church every weekend, but I feel his presence around me.  I am also thankful for my fantastic family.  I truly do not know if I would be trying to get to a healthier weight if it wasn't for my children, & husband.  They encourage me everyday & love me no matter what.  I am also thankful for all the friends that I have.  Not just the friends I have personally met, but also for all the internet friends that I have made over the years.  I am also thankful for the Mamavation sisters.  It is great to be doing this with other women who are also struggling to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
