I have gratitude today for...
* sleeping in after a late night last night
* decorating the Christmas tree and house for the holidays. I'm trying to get into the Christmas spirit, usually I'm really excited but this year I feel like everything has been so rushed!
* yum Chinese for lunch.
* starting to write out Christmas cards. I always put thought into writing out the cards and take the time to write a message in every one. It would be so much easier just to sign our names, but I don't feel they mean as much.
* Mrs. Roth making a roasted chicken dinner for us tonight.
* the Biggest Loser. Of all the reality TV out there these days I think it sends a great message and has influenced thousands of people to be healthier.
* finally getting a plan together for Christmas weekend. I've been stressed about making everyone happy.
I like the Biggest Loser sometimes, but I think it gives a false message about what is a good timeframe for weight loss. these people lose ALOT of weight in a short amount of time because they are able to commit themselves to hours in the gym each day with trainers on board with them. Yes, I know some of them are able to do it on their own after, but...they need to make it a bit clearer that 1-2 pounds per week is the healthy way to go. I get sad when I see them disappointed if they ONLY lose 2 pounds on the weigh in.
