Today feels like Sunday. I spent some time getting ready for the work week. I went food shopping, prepped food for the week. That means I spent some time cutting up vegetables and putting them into baggies, making vegetable soup, and hard boiling eggs.  So much of being a successful Weight Watcher has to do with good planning.

Today is the day we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, and I thought I’d begin my post with a favorite quote from his I Have A Dream speech:

“We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

I love this line because it hits a chord inside me, one of unity and progress. I believe that important work begins with an idea and spreads across the water like a sweeping wave. People like Dr. King were put here to inspire the rest of us. That is something incredible and worthy of our enduring gratitude.
