Life's a Party!

“Greatness is the courage to overcome obstacles.”

~ Dr. David Hawkins

It is said that life is a party.

If in fact that is so, I believe that it is one that I surely don't want to miss.

And if I plan to show up to the party, I think it would behoove me to do so properly attired.

Sweats and a hoodie are hardly what one would consider as putting your best foot forward.

With that in mind, I spent some time last night going through my closet in preparation for the cooler weather that is coming this way.

After putting away some summertime gear, I found that I have 5 nice sweaters that are perfect for this time of the year.

I do have a collection of hoodies ,however I think I am looking to up my game a bit.

I pulled out a half dozen pairs of slacks, none of which I fit into at this point.

Yes, I have not discussed my weight lately and yes again,it has become an issue.

(We'll get back to these slacks in a minute).

I also found a pair of jeans that I can add to my wardrobe.

They are the same size as the pair of jeans that I have been wearing since mid August.

I decided to try them on and guess what.

Yep...no way!

In the past, this would have been devastating to me.

This is no longer the case.

Because I weigh myself every morning,I know exactly how much I have gained.

I had already made the decision that after celebrating my birthday on Sunday at dinner with my family that I would go on a 21 day version of our 40 day cycle.

If I started on my birthday,it would end the Monday before Thanksgiving.

So,my current goal is to be able to wear those jeans on Thanksgiving day.

Sounds like a doable plan to me.

As for the other slacks,they are neatly folded and stored in a plastic bin next to my bed.

One mountain to climb at a time!

Who knows....Christmas is not all that far away!
