A Light That Never Goes Out

Being thankful for little mercies does wonders for a journey to joy , so this year I chose to be thankful for the progress I have made so far. [Also for the fact that Thanksgiving food isn't a thing down here too. #DodgedACalorieBullet] How It All Went Down Weeks 1 & 2 There were no exercise goals for the first 2 weeks, but the end of October was already looming and I knew I had to start something right away. Basically, most of the talking happened over these first two weeks. Having already quit smoking in August, I resolved to make sugar my first priority (ie avoiding it - must read those labels!). The rest of the babbling also brought forth these nuggets ...
