Final Friday

Wohoo! I am thrilled beyond belief that it is Friday! It has been an emotional but character building week for sure. I really appreciate the feedback on yesterday's post. It made me realize how absurd that whole situation was and that I am glad I won't have to worry or deal with the "neighbors" anymore. I am ending the year knowing that I stood up for myself and what I believe in and that makes me proud of myself, not just about them but some others as well that I felt were taking advantage of my generosity.

I looked back in my blog and it looks like I have lost 12 lbs. this whole year. Not a stellar year on the weight loss front, that's for sure.  I did get on the scale this morning and I was 249 so the 2 lb. gain is going away. Whew! The biggest lessons I am walking away with from this year is knowing what it is going to be like (maintenance) for the rest of my life and that GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION. I may be totally dating myself but I feel like a weeble. Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!! Also, working on self-esteem and the mental aspects of WL is crucial for success.

Danielle gave me this frame since it screamed my name while she was shopping - LOL! I have the bare wall too from Dave removing his family pictures, etc.  I decided that I am going to put pictures in it but also I want to put some of my favorite quotes from Pinterest. I will show you when I am done. Feels good to have a crafty project to work on. I miss doing my crafts. Definitely will be doing much more next year.

Nothing exciting planned for the weekend. Dave needs a place to stay for the weekend so he'll be around. I want to put Christmas decorations away (with his help) and finish A Place of Yes which turned out to be an excellent book.  I will elaborate more once I finish. Hope you all have a safe and sane New Year's.  Happy 2012 everyone! Until next time...
