Until Next Year . . .

It seems impossible that we're only two days away from Christmas, and just over a week away from ringing in a new year!  With much to do over the next couple of days and with our 4-year old twins spending the night (for the first time with us!) next week, I'll be taking a break from writing my blog until the first of the year.

Regardless of where the scale says you are right now, most of you weigh less and are healthier now than you were just a few months ago.  You may not be where you want to be, but you also aren't where you were - celebrate that! 

Over these next couple of days, don't allow the busyness to distract you from what you really want - a healthier you!  If you've made the decision to stay on plan through the holidays, good for you - you'll never regret it.  If you've made the decision to wait and get back on Take Shape for Life/Medifast 5&1 after the holidays, set a firm restart date and write down all of the reasons you want to get to a healthy weight, then stick to that restart date.  It can be challenging starting again, and it's never as easy the second (or third) time around because you know the drill, but focus on what you want and go for it!

Most of all, over these next couple of days, don't allow the busyness of the season to detract from the REAL Reason for the Season :-).  "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."  ~ John 3:16.  God gave us His very best gift, Jesus Christ.  My prayer is that there will be no unopened gifts for you this Christmas.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year . . . and, of course, choose wisely :-)
