Thank you for a rest filled weekend and for my friend Pam. Thank you for Marie's birthday yesterday and for Alicia's birthday in four days. Thank you for the cloudy day because I was able to give my mind and body the rest it needed. Thank you for the love of Mew - she is so sweet.
Now I lay my weight before you.
I ask you to please help me make wise choices like I did today.
I ask you to please help Marie lose weight consistently so she can reach her goal.
