"Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself." - Robert Collier

It never ceases to amaze me when I come back to post on my blog to find that it's been two weeks since I sat down to write.  I apologize to all of you who follow so diligently.  I promise, I'm not blog-cheating on you. 

My life has had a inordinate number of changes in the last month.  Some of them my doing, some of them not, but it's been an interesting experience trying to stay on top of everything. 

Not all of the changes have been good.  My boss as you know left on a medical leave and I was not chosen to be her replacement.  It was a good lesson in grace and courage under fire, even if it still stings a little bit.

My aunt, passed away last week and 5 days later a member of my very extended family passed away as well.  In a terrible turn of events, this meant that some of my younger cousins lost a grandma and a grandpa in the week before Christmas.

That said, there have also been some really good changes.  As you may recall, on November 25, 2010, I started on my goal to not eat inside a restaurant or fast food location until January 1, 2011.  I can tell you that 28 days later, I am only 10 days away from my goal.

But the BIGGEST change, has been to my work out and fitness goals.  Since the end of November, I have started running on my treadmill more regularly and working out sometimes twice a day.  The end result of this has, shockingly, not been weight loss, as much as it has been a loss of inches.  I can celebrate the loss of two inches on my ass, and two inches on my stomach.  Now there are other areas of loss of inches as well, but you get the idea, I am changing, and I'm loving it!

I feel confident walking into the Christmas Season that I can survive without pigging out.  I have goals and a plan and I feel good about it.

Tell your friends to go to JDFT, it's so worth it.
