Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I am so happy to be spending the day with Bear and my family. It's hard though, because I know that Bear would love to be with his family as well. So I am going to do my best to make tomorrow as special as possible for him.
He has brought so much to my life…I think about last year this time. I had gotten the closure I needed with EH, and was able to finally move on. I didn't know it at the time, but Bear would be coming into my life, and adding so much more than I could have every imagined.
I feel blessed to be able to spend a day of love and gratitude with someone I am extremely grateful for. Thank you Bear, for everything. For showing me what a healthy, loving relationship looks like. For always being honest. You are incredible, hard working, and I am so proud of you.. Of us.

Vision...
Recently I sat down and created a vision for myself, 10 years from now. And with that vision comes the inevitable goal setting, so that I can achieve what it is I want for my future.
These goals terrify me, which can only mean one thing. I am setting goals that are going to push me forward.
And with the support and love I have from my family and Bear I know I can achieve whatever I set my mind on.

Counting...
Day 9 of my new eating plan and it's going well. I've realized I do really well when I have guidelines.
For the last few years it's been all about counting calories, which worked. But after 3 plus years, it definitely became a little tiresome.
I was too afraid though to stop though, for fear of gaining all the weight back.
But with this plan, I don't have to count. It's all outlined for me. It's been a great alternative to counting. And it's freed my mind.
If you had told me 3 weeks ago, I would not be counting my calories, I would have said there is no possible way. But it's been 9 days. I can't say I won't go back to counting, but for today, for right now this plan is where I am at.

Plan Worth Following...
So many exciting events/moments have occurred since last week. Halloween with my niece, the grand opening of the new store I work at, a new structured eating plan...the list goes on.
Bear and I dressed up for my niece who wanted us all to go as My Little Ponies. When a 4 1/2 year old enthusiastically tells you her plan for Halloween and what you are going to wear...well it's impossible to say no. Which is why I dressed as Applejack and Bear as Big Macintosh.
To see the smile on her face as I walked up to her house...exclaiming, "Applejack!!" it just doesn't get better than that.
And the day after Halloween was the grand opening of the store I work at. It was a whirlwind...from Halloween to opening the store and hosting the day to day events. But it went amazingly, and I am so excited to be working in an environment that really helps me thrive in my personal work, my health and my career.
As for my new structured eating plan...I will update you all on my progress. Right now, I've been successful at following it. I didn't weigh myself before starting, as my gift to myself last Christmas was no longer weighing myself. So I won't know what weight I've lost, if any at all. What I will know is that I am feeding my body healthier foods. And that is a plan worth following.
