I finally made it back to the gym with my Dad today – as sore as I was it felt good to do. Depending upon how I feel in the morning I’m planning on going again.

Today I Am Grateful:

1) To have enjoyed my 40 minutes on the treadmill today, watching as little snowflakes gently fell from the grey sky. It made me doubly grateful to be walking indoors in a comfortable climate.

2) That my Dad reminded me (by having his radio today) to come home and find my mp3 player to charge so I can have it to listen to tomorrow – I have two discs of an unabridged book on CD ready to listen to tomorrow while I walk. It’s a book I’ve been wanting to either read or listen to and it looks like I’ll finally get to listen to it first!

3) For a new round of books borrowed from the library and the previous round safely returned. This round has a number of books on how to beat Arthritis – I will find a way to make myself stronger!

4) That I already know the areas I’d like to specialize in, to earn some of my Continuing Education hours in, once I get my MT License number. It feels good to have a direction planned no matter what. (And yes I have a few library books on those subjects too LOL)

5) For actually being a little under my calorie range for today and not feeling hungry at all. I had a decent breakfast, a warm & yummy lunch and a simple yet filling dinner. I had dessert after lunch and can actually have another smaller dessert now and not go over my calorie range – that’s a good feeling!
