    I have been meaning to make a post about this
    As you all recall I made a very public tantrum when they lost the games last year..I allowed myself to give up hope. I was so afraid of getting so far and becoming disappointed..

    Well, when I calmed down I began to realize something..there was an odd parallel to my weight loss journey. I had been large for most of my life and had tried just about everything to lose..and would give up and say "Next time".

    Until now..I got on a program and stuck with it resulting in the lighter version of myself now (130 pounds FYI). There was a time of plateaus that didn't seem to go away but I kept at it, and see the results so far.

    Some of you wonder..where am I going with this??

    Well, I came to realize those losses in that year was plateaus..and they came back harder to reach their goal.
    Like me there was a problem that lasted for decades and it was decided that now was the time to claim that prize. What clinched it for me..when I saw the slogan on the t shirts..

    "Finish Strong"

    It clicked..it spoke to me what I wanted to accomplish in my life right now. I want to finish strong and reach goal weight..I want to finish strong and maintain. I want to finish strong in 5ks by improving my time..

    Finish strong...
    At that point my belief became stronger..and when I watched that final playoff game I sat on the edge of my seat. I felt like someone watching "Peter Pan" responding that they believe..
    I kept saying "I do believe in the Saints"..
    They won that game and the rest is history. Days later I celebrated a milestone on my weight loss journey..:)

    Granted I did miss most of the nail biter since I had to work on laundry and in my screwy headspace I thought they did better when I wasn't watching *yes I'm silly like that*. However I watched that winning play..
    *GLEE*
    Anyways-if anyone was put off by my angry post and now think my recent ones are hypocritical.. sorry
    Just wanted to explain..
    Finish strong!

    After he was dead, a Cajun discovered himself in Hell. He looked around awhile, then went right to work shoveling brimstone. The devil came up to him and said, "How you like it here, my friend? It's hard work and it's hot, yeah?"

    The Cajun just smiled and answered, "It not so bad. The work is steady. I got no problem with steady work. And it ain't so hot. You think this is hot? Man, I'm from south Lousiana --- It hot there, my fren! This ain't nothing." He just laughed and went back to work singing and having a high old time.

    Satan, being a former Texan, did not like Cajuns. He said to himself, "I'll get him. So he don't mind the hot, huh?" Satan waved a hand and the whole place was suddenly ice and snow, solid. And he said, "That'll fix dat fool!"

    When he went back to check on the Cajun, he found him jumping up and yelling and laughing and clapping and dancing. So Satan said, "Man, what's wrong with you?!"

    The Cajun smiled big and replied, "The Saints done won the Super Bowl!
