Good for you for regaining your balance! Yes, it’s really hard when you want (need) to write most of the day and then find time to fit exercise in. I hate to exercise, which is why I have to watch what I eat like a hawk unless I want to gain weight back. I’m determined to start exercising on Monday because I feel so much better.

Love hearing how much the writing community has helped you! It’s an amazing place, and I’m proud to be a part of it.

I wore mine today and my feet are killing me. But they made me feel sexy, and that’s really all that matters!

Thank you. It’s more of a struggle to keep it off than to take it off, and that’s something I’ve had to come to terms with over the summer.

Excellent, and you, too. Great things coming for both of us!

Thank you so much! I felt a little corny with this post, so your comment means a lot.

This Thanksgiving is tough in terms of my brother, but we’re trying to focus on the positives.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday as well!

🙂 I love hearing all that, especially about Cosmo. He’s such a snuggly little ball of spoiled!

You know how thankful I am we got together. How you tolerate my various neuroses is beyond me!;)

Thanks so much, girl. You, too. Your posts are always among my faves.

I love hearing about how the community has helped you. Even though writing is an extremely competitive business, it’s also more supportive than most.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Congrats on losing 65 pounds – that’s quite an accomplishment and I know how much better it makes you feel! I shed 45 three years ago, got to my target weight and looked and felt great. I put 30 of them back on when I started writing again, because I couldn’t figure out how to work all day, write all night, and still get off the butt to exercise : ). I’ve regained my balance since July and have 15 of those back off again, and like you am so thankful to be in the right groove in that respect.

The writing community has helped me in soooo many ways this year. From sharing goals and frustrations to writing prompts and critiques, blogging and meeting other writers has helped me grow so much this year. I count you among my wonderful writing friends, so thank you!

You’ve accomplished sooo much and you should be sooo proud!! I know we all are of you!!
Here’s to one hell of a year ahead….xoxox

What a beautiful list, Stacy! You are an amazing woman and I’m so glad to virtually know you 🙂
Congratulation on your weight loss, on your marriage, on the happy family life. I’m so sorry about your brother. I hope this Thanksgiving you guys will spend a lot of time together.

Good luck with the query process! Happy Thanksgiving.

Oh, I’m posting about what I’m thankful for tomorrow (Wednesday) — there is so much, I don’t want to take up a lot of space here 🙂

I’m thankful to have people who love me, a warm place to sleep, and food to eat. And I’m thankful of the happiness my little dog has added to my life.

I am also thankful for my writing friends. I am forever surprised–and grateful–you all tolerate me. 😀

Great post, Stacy. You always bring a smile to my face.

How has the writing community helped me? The wonderful writer and blogging friends that I have made over the past year have helped keep me sane and helped push me beyond where I could have pushed myself. I am thankful for each of you every single day.

I learn from you guys….and you make learning fun! 🙂

Happy Thanksgiving!
