Awwwwwwwww yeah, I got your motivation right here!

Couldn't take the pants dragging on the ground anymore. The only thing holding them up was the junk in my trunk. So I stopped at the same store to pick up a new pair of the same pants, and SHAZAM... I'm two full sizes smaller than I was when I began my journey three months ago. Holla!  Who is full-steam ahead?!  THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE!

Wow... it's been a while! Can you say Happy New Year in February?!

HeartWalk went great!  With the help of friends and family I raised $450 for the American Heart Association!  My daddy would be proud.  The weather was beautiful, and I was rockin to go...until I arrived and realized no one told me I was going to be hoofing it up the tallest bridge in our county, but with my guy by my side encouraging me the whole way,  I came, I saw, and I (we) conquered!  Wore the same dumb shoes though, and yes ended up with blisters again.  Just bought myself a new pair this week, with the help of a birthday gift card from a dear friend.  I am looking forward to breaking them in tonight.  My next event will be the Edison Festival of Light 5K on February 18.

People are asking me everyday, "How much have you lost?"  Truth is, I have no idea.  I don't own a scale.  Guess it is time for a courtesy trip to my doctor's office to check that out.  Regardless of what the numbers are, I am wearing a pair of pants today that I haven't been able to put on in four years!  All of the rest of my clothes are falling off.  Needless to say, "saggin" for a near 40 year old, is not cool in the least.  I am looking forward to dropping another full size before doing any shopping though.

Not only can I see a difference, I can feel a difference.  I have more energy.  I can tie my shoes without feeling like I'm going to pass out.  My smile is brighter.  My step is lighter.  My confidence is higher.  Life is good... and will keep getting better as I continue on my journey.  Thanks for following me!

More to come soon...
