I have such wonderful people God has placed in my life. This is a very hard holiday for so many. So many people are in need of that movie romance . It is hard to find.
My best friend and I went out on Saturday night for Valentine's day Best Friend date night lol. We met at the movies to see The Vow. It was a cute movie but I didn't cry like many said they did. Maybe I am a little jaded. Then we ate at Texas Roadhouse. We then went to play BINGO at the local American Legion. It was a blast the whole night but the best part was sitting in the car together just talking. I love that we can be honest and open about EVERYTHING in our lives and not judge one another.
Yesterday was Valentine's Day and there were so many temptations all around me. My day started off really good I had my mom and a few friends over for a nail salon party, lunch and great conversations. Then a wonderful, very thoughtful friend knew that this day was going to be hard for me emotionally so she brought me a beautiful card and wonderful yummy cupcakes for the kids and I. She knows that I am on a weightloss journey and still made 2 cupcakes for me. Sabotage I Tell YA!!!! just joking. She reads my blog and has been a very helpful willing ear to turn to. I didn't want to neglect the kids of all the wonderful treats this day has to offer so I made a party for them. I invited my mother, nephews, and a friend from church and her daughter. I made beef stew and a chocolate fountain. Actually it was a huge bowl full of melted chocolate since I couldn't get the fountain to heat up properly. I served it with mini cupcakes, strawberries, pineapple, banana, and watermelon. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. Then we were all entertained by the 5 kids (6 if you count the teenager that wanted to but never did) singing, playing drums & guitars and dancing.
God has always placed people in my life that know just the time I need them and vice versa. I am so thankful that I receive so much encouragement.
Update:
I have had to adjust my workout a bit. Jillian Michaels is a bit to intense for me at this point. I have been doing the Wii Fit daily to start with now. I will work my way up. I am still very happy with my progress I am losing weight and very happy with that. I also feel better not as tired and happier. I have also started to take vitamins (multi and B12)
