Hi Everyone! It is Saturday Evening and dark outside here in the Park. Was
really tied up today in business; just have time to make a stop at the Sandbox
and drop off my quotes on the theme, Destiny. Wishing everyone a wonderful
weekend. Those of you following the 'Tortoise and the Hare' 20 lb. weight loss
challenge race between me, the Tortoise and my son, the Hare: race still on. I
am at a 16 lb. loss and he has not been weighted in at 20 lb. loss as of this
evening. Maybe I'll run a few laps around the park tonight...... Oh, Yah, I am
really improved through Physical Therapy, however, not at the point of 'LAPS'
yet. Imagine my son still got in his 10,000+ Fitbit steps again today. Only Four
pounds to 'goal.' Thank you for all your good wishes.
The 'Determined' Tortoise

Thanks Jane, for these great destiny quotes. My favorite is It's CHOICES - not chance - that determines your destiny.
Good for you, Jane. I think the tortoise has a better chance of keeping it off!
Love your quotes, especially "It's CHOICES - not chance - that determines your destiny."
~Jean Nidetch
Agnes & Stephen captured my sentiment regarding destiny. When all else disappears in our lives it's often all that remains.
Jane just do not lose too much too fast, not only is it bad for your health but it is also bad for your budget you will need to buy new clothes:)Endre
Morning Jane.
All great quotes today, my favorite one is by Stephen. I'm pulling for the tortoise
"No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently."
I like that one, Jane!
Good morning, Jane Chaulklin-Schott congratulations on your weight loss.... creating new eating habits is the bottom line to weight loss and maintaining it.... the exercise improves your metabolism and the shape of your body.... how you "workout in the kitchen" is most important....
and my favorite today is:
"It's CHOICES - not chance - that determines your destiny."
~Jean Nidetch
Good morning Jane. Sean O'Casey gets my nod this morning in a close race! Enjoy your day!
You are getting close my friend, I am certain you will lose those last 4 pounds and achieve your goal, maybe even before your son!
Hi Jane,
First, let me send kudos for your continued success toward your weight loss goals.
As for my favorite quote, I chose Hermann Hesse. This goes along with the one of my favorite scriptures Romans 8:28.
