I didn't forget the thankful post. I almost did. I came online a couple of hours ago to write it but then shut down the computer without writing it. So, here it is. I have much to be thankful for, as always. I'm thankful for the nine hours of sleep I got last night. I haven't had that much sleep in a long time. I guess I was tired. I'm thankful for the exercise class this morning. I got nine miles in 40 minutes. It seems I'll be doing that from now on with the longer tape. I'm thankful I found cards for my pastors this morning when I went to Walgreens. They weren't at the first store I went to and went to another. If I hadn't found them there, I would have gone to the Christian bookstore for them. I really didn't want to go all the way to that store today. It's not a short trip, twenty minutes. I know that's not long. I just didn't want to be on the road that long today. I'm glad I didn't need to go there. I'm thankful for the walk through the building I got after lunch. I always meet people and make them smile. Today was no different. So, I have all my steps. I'm thankful for the scale this morning. Losing a pound was good. I hope I can see the same again tomorrow. I think I know what the culprit is about my weight gain. Meat. I've had sloppy joes all week. They're gone now. I finished them today. It always seems that when I gain weight, I've eaten meat. I'll stick to fish. I'm thankful I worked on Destination Love today. Not long, but a few pages are better than none. I'm thankful I have the notifications done twice today. It's always good to see what you're doing in your world. Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I’m thankful for everything as usual . The temp hit seventy degrees so that was nice. I didn’t need a jacket when I went out. Sounds like you got a lot done today. Hope you have another good sleep tonight.

I'm glad you could walk outside without a jacket. It's jacket season here. Thank you. Yes, I got a good night's sleep. Not as many hours, but I didn't need as much with all I got yesterday.

@just4him It’s nice and sunny today but a little cooler. Glad you lost a pound. Wish I’d gain a pound.

@RubyHawk Do you eat before you go to bed? I've heard people gain more when they eat before bed.

Nine hours is great! I am thankful I had a good night’s sleep last night, and that my friend got a gift I sent her today. Sometimes I worry about gifts getting stolen that go to apartments (since it has happened to me).

Sorry you think it is the meat that is causing weight gain. Fish is tasty though, depending on the kind. Glad you had a good day though and have all that to be thankful for.

I always seem to gain a couple of pounds when I eat meat and lose as much when I eat fish. I eat a lot of salmon. I have flounder and cod too.

@just4him Well meat does have more fat unless you are eating leaner meat like chicken and turkey, and I know you don't eat chicken if I remember, my memory is not the best lately. Well salmon is tasty, I always ate it a lot when I was eating correctly.

@MommyOfEli2013 You're correct. I can't eat chicken. I don't eat a lot of turkey, but I eat it. I go all out for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Occasionally, I'll buy turkey deli meat, but not often.
