Today was a pretty great day.  I'm very excited that Melissa, the lady I met in Savannah and who walked the ½ Marathon with me, is coming to Charleston Wednesday with a friend of hers; we are going to meet up at some point during the day for lunch.  It will be great to see her and catch up on some things.

I had a pretty awesome early birthday surprise today…my birthday workout J  if your trainer ever asks you how old you are…LIE haha I tried but it didn’t work.  Knowing how old I’ll be sent me into a minor panic but he had me do somethings that I love and have missed doing.  I had to do 46 reps of each exercise.  It was a tough workout for me and I realized that I have some work I need to do but I was very excited to start working with the bar again and extremely thankful for such a great surprise…Thank you Brent!

I feel great about some things; feeling very motivated to move forward and accomplish things that have sort of been in limbo.  I’m excited about these things…I am  ready,  ready and even more ready to reach my goals and bring this weight loss journey to an end so I can completely live out all that I have learned and help others do the same. I have so much to share when it comes to this.  I’ve learned so much, mostly, trial by error.  The hardest parts for me were  not learning what I needed to do but making the transitions into so many different things like eating healthier, applying it to my family’s lifestyle, dealing with all the emotions that were unburied, and conquering all those demons that tortured me for years. 

The only thing I need to make the transition into is a thin person.  I can’t wait to find out how that will feel, how I will look, and what I will experience so I can share that with others to.  Every transition has been bittersweet, emotional, and tearful but well worth every second of it and I truly believe that the very best is yet to come.
