Today was another enjoyable day. We took a trip to Target and found out our gift card was $50 instead of the assumed $25, so that was awesome. We all had lunch after that and went down to a local art museum, the McNay museum, since it was free. As we all toured the Impressionist art, and looked around the permanent art, we also found out that they had children's activities down in the basement. We took Ellie down there, and we all participated. After the museum, we went out to dinner at one of Tom's and my favorite restaraunt. Its a german place called Friesenhaus. Absolutely wonderful food there.
So, there was plenty to be grateful for today. So many pleasant things happened. What I actually am the most proud of though is something I didn't mention earlier. I haven't really paid much mind within this journal about my weight loss journey. I'm just now starting it, and have had numerous struggling moment, but I haven't caved in yet. Today I noticed that I was making this a permanet facet in my life. I was making healthier choices and noticing the difference in how I felt. I've realized the importance of my health, and my weight plays a large role in that. I've taken an active role in my weight loss, and I'm proud of that. I'm grateful that everything that I've been hearing is finally sinking in. I know that losing weight is much harder than gaining it, so I'm keeping that in mind when I do have set backs. I have another weigh in tomorrow, but if I've only maintained, or even gained, I know that the mental aspect of this battle is starting to be won.

Good night.
Fed Govt closed for a second day lets you know just how bad this has been -- Uncle Sam doesn't give us govt employees free days off that often! The snow has become a pain - it was wet heavy snow with very cold temps so it now isn't fun to play in because it's frozen like ice, and we have another approx 10+ inches of wet heavy snow on the way tonight and tomorrow. I haven't been anyway since I came home Friday - so I might venture into the crowded grocery stores this morning before the next round starts. Enjoy your warmer weather in San Antonio!
