Accompishment

Today's Beautiful Thing is accomplishment. My supervisor told me we absolutely, positively had to complete a task today. Many things came up that took away from the time I'd set aside to complete the project, but we still did it. Yay!

(Pictured: the Chinese symbols for accomplishment.)

Finally!

Today's Beautiful Thing is weigh-day...other wise known as Sunday. Four Sundays ago, the scale said I lost 36 pounds. The following Sunday it said I gained three. I knew I didn't, but it stressed me out and I started eating junk--which I what I do when I'm stressed. I started weighing myself on other days in between. The scale went up and down, but never dropped back to the 36 pounds lost position.

But, this week, I made a conscious effort to watch my fat and calories again--scale be damned--and today I'm back to 36 pounds lost. Yes!

Sizzling Goodness

Today's Beautiful Thing is a skillet of sizzling chicken fajitas! After we got our taxes done (Yay! Crossing that off the to do list is Beautiful too!) we went out for Mexican food. The simple goodness of grilled chicken, onions & bell peppers, fresh pico de gallo and hot corn tortillas was out of this world tasty!

This Blog

Today's Beautiful Thing is this blog itself. I've been a little down the last month or so. I'm grateful that posting something every day here at TBT reminds me to find something beautiful every day. All I have to do is look back in the archives to be reminded that good things happen every day. They really do, you know.

Canadian TV

Today's Beautiful Thing is a silly little Canadian sit-com called Corner Gas. The silly scripts and quirky characters always make me smile.

Clean, Clean!

Today's beautiful Thing is two clean pooches. They had a bath special at the vet today and we took both Ace and Lulu for the works. They not only look nice, but it's obvious they feel good too.

Finding My Way Back

Today's Beautiful Thing is getting back on track. The last couple of weeks, I haven't been as good as I want to be on my diet. But the last couple of days I've been making better choices. My calorie and fat gram count are going down. Hopefully tomorrow will be just perfect. :)
