Sunshine finally in Missouri!
Extra downtime today-I can finally see my desk!
I have 12 athletes who have qualified for the State track meet!
My son who said he would run the 5K with me, then changed his mind and said, "but I will cheer you on!"
My daughter who is going to run with me!
My wonderful BFL friends and this community!
new beginnings
my Mom being so patient with all my simple cooking questions
the scale finally moving again
the fun I'm having picking things to put in my new apartment
gladware - it's a good find
That random guy at the gym that told me to "put some weight on there". I love that even strangers won't let me cheat!
My husband staying on board BFL with me
My new shoulder muscles
That time of day when I realize it's time for me to have a snack!
Tilapia - I was ODing on chicken breasts
This program, and everyone who supports me in my goals!
runninggrl :)
Another beautiful sunrise in Missouri

that I didn't hurt myself playing volleyball last night (last time was not pretty!)
lawn is mowed just in time for 3 days of storms coming...
that I didn't do a faceplant on my treadmill this morning, thank you emergency cord! :)
5K in 2 days...
my family at home and my BFL family here! :)
Jessica Mighty Max: even though I dont post on this thread every day (cause some days I just think I have nothing substantial to mention) I think about her every day and feel blessed to know her in the little way I do. She is quiet, but I just know she listens to all that we say and she enjoys reading success in us. I am thankful she started this thread so people like me at least THINK about options to be happy for in our days.
Waking up and seeing Miriam Frances Guns Colts Fan is on my Facebook: there was a time when she thought FB might be too much to keep track of, but now that the GB is gone and the daily interaction, we will be able to better keep track of each other like before. She made my day. She is a VICTOR and a WINNER in my eyes of BFL and life accomplishments - a role model of sorts and I admire her. She is also insanely funny and I love that. :)
DebbieMO: for being my texter buddy, sending me inspirational emails that allow me to think with an open mind and set the stage for a positive day. I look forward to hearing from her throughout my day and thanks to BFL I have a wonderful confidant, supporter, shoulder to lean on, comedian, ROCKSTAR SINGER MOM, and growing friend. She is an honest, open raw woman - I like that.
Liesl and Darcy for keeping in touch daily with me. The back and forth support is incredible. I think I may want to stay in Nashville for weeks and kidnap you all!
Jimmieb: for singing to us every morning and giving me a spandex visual.
Its Friday and I am pretty sure a good day at work. ALSO I can wear jeans. I like that too.
The new people posting regularly on here - MarquiD and JamesK, Armster...to name a few. They have great things to share, are kind, informed and objectionable. More VICTORS.
The ablitlty to smile whenever I want and however big.
Today I'm grateful for:
It's Friday!
Last day of the month-Payday!
Legs...she is a Treasure! :)
5K Tomorrow!
I Get To be a BFL "Coach" for a friend on Monday!
Music-It keeps me going all day long!
that I can be a Blessing to some! :)
that my shipment of Betagen and CLA arrived (just in time!)
This forum and this thread! :)
LIFE!
I am thankful for:
My wonderful daughter and husband who keep me going and suffer through my BFL meals when they know they don't have to :)
Keeping an old exercise HIIT style wkout video that I swore I threw out but found again in my living room.
The BFL book that found it's way into my house and sat ignored for nearly 5 years until 2 months ago when I blew the 6" of dust off of the cover.
My healthy body.
BFL forum so I can receive help from everyone and know I am NOT suffering alone!

It's Friday.
Last night my youngest son played his final solo on the high school concert stage and I was there to see it with tears in my eyes.
BFL is not too hard to do for life.
Clean food.
A good job.
Sleeping in and waking up with happy texts from my special friends
A day to do as I please
A fantastic cardio and ab workout
My health
Not feeling pulled towards unauthorized foods for the second weekend in a row
Armster: his idea of a checkered flag is really inspiring me
Week 8 is ending and Free day is approaching.
I am taking free day to mean more than just food or a workout, but meant more for not having to follow a schedule and just be free!
Finally letting go of unneeded things (thanks Craigslist and Ebay) Since I am changing physically and don't need the excess fat, it's opening my eyes that I don't need the excess stuff (fat) laying around the house that I don't use anymore.
Always thankful for everyone who takes the time to share on this forum so we can all be inspired and know that we are not alone on our quest!
~Marqui D. C1W8D55
My faith in God and in myself...
My successful 5K!
ALL of my BFL friends who support me, wave checkered flags and cheer me on!
The rain has held off for my husband and son to go cub scout camping!
I get to go out with some friends tonight!
In two weeks I get to spend some time with Renee and Pam! So excited! :)
15 days of school left!
159 days til Nashville-really really really can't wait!! :)
