Good Morning, all…Got up today and the Red Badge of Courage was on TCM.  I’d never seen it and as I scurried to shower and dress to meet the day it occurred to me that when you are “in the trenches” of this weight loss and maintenance scourmish, it does require courage.  The courage to define what you want, purpose it, lay out your plan of attack and then go for the victory.  The bravery may come from a place unfamiliar to you.  It may come out of the blue one day, or perhaps it’s an old commrade that you are meeting up with once again.  Wherever…it doesn’t matter.  Follow it into the fray and stay close.  It will serve you throughout this battle.
