I honestly thought that I wouldn’t be able to participate (again!) today since I just have so much to do these days. Am glad I finally managed to take some time “off” and just be with myself today.

• I am thankful for a lot of things, and the first on my list would be this time “off” for myself. For the past few days I haven’t had this luxury (to be by myself) and it feels good! Am so sure I’ll feel refreshed and energized after this!
• Finding a good household help is a huge blessing for me, and am really thankful that we’ve found Angie. She’s a real blessing!
• Hubby arrived home last night, after being away for almost two weeks; it’s the longest he’d been gone away from home, and both my son and I were really missing him.
• Am also thankful for the support of my family. Not really financially, but the reassuring thought that they will always be there for us whenever we need them.
• And last, but never the least, am so happy and thankful that our family have this deep faith in the Lord; something which my parents have really showed and taught us. Now if only I can impart the same teachings to my son …

It’s really no wonder why more people are more inclined to take a diet pill instead of sweating it out on a gym or at home. Just look at most of the pictures on the magazines, or at the television shows these days. People want faster results. However, the fastest doesn’t always mean it’s the best. It’s more important that you keep shedding off the weight gradually, but steadily.

The next challenge would then be how to keep the weight off!
