Eyebrows and other such nonsense

So, here's a theory: perhaps one can tell the tale of one's state of affairs by the hygiene of one's eyebrows? Really? I now have a brow on top and a brow underneath, both sides, which are beginning to blend quite nicely into my sideburns. Really. The tweezers feel as heavy as the phone when I should be making a call for help. I am powerless over tweezing and my brows have become completely unmanageable!

That said, how about a good start to a good year?! I started watching Biggest Loser again this season. I haven't been able to watch lately because it's just all to emotionally involving. But holy crap, this is going to be a good season! I asked a few of my sisters if we could all weigh in on Biggest Loser Night, and I'd keep track, and behold, I messed it up! I gave the wrong numbers on one of the girls and feel horrible! I lost seven pounds though... Ü I've been cutting out most of the carbs and really focused on good protein and lots of water. My job has me on my feet eight hours a day, which is such a good change for me! Feeling positive! "I feel skinny, Tony!" (name that movie and you get a cookie!)

Lastly, want to say how grateful I am for my life today. I have been blessed with so much. Looking over the events and situations of last year and looking at today, I am so grateful... to be clean and sober, to have a bed to sleep in, a room in a house with a door that shuts, a car that starts most the time, a job, good mental and physical health, awesome support and the feeling of connection among my friends and family, clarity in my brain, a little self-awareness, more self-esteem than I've had in my life, and most importantly a connection to my Higher Power, today. One day at a time. And how. Ü
