Today is all about football for me!  My West Virginia Mountaineers are playing UConn (God Bless the family of Jasper Howard  #6; rest in peace young man) and my daughter cheers for her high school team this evening.  Football season rocks!  Should be a wonderful day!  The only downside to this time of year is the food that is associated with it.  I have my menu, however, and that makes me stronger.  When I don’t plan, I get stressed and eat whatever I can get my hands on first…NOT good…LOL.  I have even gotten to the point of planning my entire wardrobe a week ahead.  It is one less thing I have to deal with in the mornings.  Less stress = more control.  Yep, probably a little obsessive.  My daughter’s friends always tell her they want to prank call me and tell me they know what I am wearing (my lists intrigue them - I’ve got them for lots of things…)

I lost one pound last week.  I’ll take it.  I ate a full dinner before weigh-in (was too hungry to think about sitting through a meeting w/o something to eat), so I am pretty happy with the one pound.  I didn’t get this way overnight.  My daughter lost 3.7 pounds!  Whoohoo!  She is extremely happy.  The cheer uniform fits better already!  She is my inspiration!

Have a good weekend eveyone!  If you are so inclined, route on my WV Mountaineers and keep the UCONN Huskies in your prayers.  Their teammate, Jasper Howard, was fatally stabbed last weekend.  A defininte tragedy!  Young, handsome, and bright gone in an instant.  Makes me sad and just sick. 

We are blessed to have this day.  It is a gift.
