So the Race for the Cure was apparently just what I needed to jump start my journey again. This was definitely a week of lessons, but it was a week of accomplishments too.
On Wednesday, my friend Sharon came over for dinner and some "shopping" through my many boxes of clothes that I either can't or don't wear anymore. It was a great evening. Sharon was a delight to visit with and I'm thrilled that she was able to use some of the clothes I had. Sharon is a true inspiration for me. She's already lost quite a bit of weight and has a commitment that is to be respected. She's a beautiful person inside and out and I'm so blessed to call her friend. Way to go Sharon! Here's to the next goal!
Today I received another blessing; my friend Shirley shared the start of her journal with me. It is beautiful - the story of the caterpillar and the butterfly from her heart - the path she is choosing to take to become a healthier woman. You're inspiring Shirley! Keep going - I know you'll make it!
I counted my points on Weight Watchers every day this week - yippee! That alone is probably my biggest hurdle - commitment. But I have a great support system and I have determination and I'll make it.
So the plan for this next week....
Well first, I will become another year older. On Thursday I will celebrate my 36th birthday. I'm celebrating because I know that making the choices that I'm making now will only help me add more time to the life span I shortened with my unhealthy habits and extra 100+ pounds. Also this week I will buy a Wii and a Wii Fit. Don't laugh - I've sweat more on Kirsten's Wii Fit than any piece of exercise equipment I've been on in the last year. :) It's another step towards my goal - and it's fun.
To all of my support system - thank you. I know you're rooting for me and it's making this journey a much more pleasant one.
