I’m feeling a better than I did yesterday; I really needed to experience what I did in order to feel the way I do today.  My anxiety was high today but I felt happy; I really enjoyed the day. My anxiety got to me a few times today; when I was working out, it’s tough enough to breath during our tough workouts, but then when my anxiety kicked in it made it even harder, but I pushed hard, got through it, and I felt okay about it.

My eating was good, I did have a piece of tomato pie that my friend Jennifer brought over…YUMMY!  I would have never thought to make a pie out of tomatoes. It wasn’t something I should have eaten, but, it was a small amount and I have been soooo good J

I am really looking forward to the beginning of a new challenge and the end of an old one.  My trainer is starting a new challenge with our group next week.  I only know bits and pieces of it, but it sounds interesting and fun…we will be working together in groups.  I think this maybe exactly what I need to get me up and over that damn hump I’ve been struggling with for a long while now. Being involved in this challenge with this particular group is just what I need! 

We will be finalizing the results for our 6 month challenge at work on Friday.  A good part of the participants did great!  I am so excited to find out who the winners are.  For me, the 6 months during this challenge have been a long, exhausting, trying, exciting, disappointing, hectic, and a very emotional experience.  I put so much time, effort and heart into it. There has certainly been a crazy mix of emotions throughout.  But whatever happened, whatever changed, the purpose of the challenge was well served and we have many more healthy employees J and for that I am very excited and so grateful to our trainer. I’m feeling pretty proud of our group at work.  I can’t wait to plan the recognition ceremony.  I’m hoping to do something special since the winners will be announced in front of everyone in our SC and NY office.  This is some pretty exciting stuff!

Friday is nearing and I’m praying it comes and goes quickly.  I’m not looking forward to it. I’m hoping once this day passes many of my worries and much of my anxiety will be lifted. I would truly appreciate any prayers you can offer for strength, hope, and patience J Thank you!
