Today, I am going to send a giant cyber hug and a very special thank you to each and every one of you who commented on my blog yesterday?There were 15 of you, and I gotta say, I was feeling pretty darn low yesterday?

It is my nature to beat myself to a pulp, and then pick my self up?You guys were instrumental in that process?I actually was at home all day yesterday due to the winter storm and I checked in frequently to read your comments?

You guys are wonderful and don?t ever underestimate the job you do when you take the time to comment on someone?s blog?

So?I am very happy today to report that even though I was home all day yesterday (With the husband no less!) I stayed 100% on plan. I wrote down every calorie that passed my lips. I measured out my portions just to get reacquainted with them. I bundled up like the abominable snowman and walked through 10 foot drifts of snow to get to the work out room (okay, slight exaggeration) 
and this morning, I weighed in at two pounds less then yesterday. I don?t care if it was a fluke, or water, or what, the scale was down and I seriously needed to see that?

I guess you could say I just got back to basics?

So I feel MUCH better today?And I owe a lot of that to you guys and this wonderful community?THANK YOU!!!

I must also send a very special thank you to my husband Steve who had to put up with my breakdown yesterday morning, but handled it like the true trooper that he is?On Valentines Day, no less! Thanks Stevie!

And to my buddy Scott who lent me a hand up, once again?Thank you for not letting me feel sorry for myself too long!!

I hope you guys have a safe and warm Thursday!

I have chosen this song today as my theme song:

?I see trees of green…….. red roses too
I see em bloom….. for me and for you
And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue….. clouds of white
Bright blessed days….dark sacred nights
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces…..of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands…..sayin.. how do you do
They?re really sayin……i love you.
I hear babies cry…… I watch them grow
They?ll learn much more…..than I?ll never know
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world

I knew you would feel better today. You are a great inspiration to us all and even you are allowed a break down every now and then. Congrats on the 2 lb. loss!
Keep it up Dawnie!
That’s great you feel better — I knew you would! Cause today is a new day. Life goes on. If we all didn’t have bad days, we wouldn’t be human, we’d be robots. And not fat. Keep on pluggin at er….you know we’re always here for you, just like you are ALWAYS here for us! Have a great day, Dawn. Peace Out…

Oh, I’m so happy to hear your feeling better and getting back to basics is something we should all evaluate throughout this journey. Wooohooo on the 2 pounds girl you deserve it.
Hey Dawn,
I’m glad to hear that you have picked yourself up and are back on track and how wonderful that the scale decided to reward you so quickly!! Thanks also for reminding us all that everyone has their weak moments.. I feel more focused today because of your blog yesterday! Glad you are back on track and headed towards that goal…
Yeeeeaaaaahhh! Dawnie sounds like her old self again!!!! So happy to have you back dear buddy!!!!
I am happy to see your feeling better!
Great job on getting back to the basics!
Steve gets 1 thumbs up for all of his support!
2 lbs. Now that is the boost you needed! Awsome!
Well I’m glad your today is better than your yesterday!
And I love that song!!!!
I am glad you feel better today. We all have those days. I am glad you bounced back. Keep your chin up.
