Feeling Lighter

I am having a good week. Not only am I losing the weight- but I am feeling lighter. I am feeling lighter emotionally and physically. I have more energy, and it's funny but I am moving better. I never thought of myself as physically restricted in any way- now I realize that I was. Don't get me wrong- I knew I was out of shape... I felt it. But it is so much easier right now... and if it's easier now I cannot wait to see how much easier it is going to be in a few more months!

I am excited. But I have also started to get a little nervous. I know that when the DVD is done I am going to have to keep myself motivated and keep on moving. Getting to Slimmons during the week, for me, is really hard. Not only does the price add up- but I have to rush straight from work to get there on time. Luckily, I have one of the coolest bosses in the free world and when it is slow I get to leave a few minutes early- which helps.

I just have to make a promise here and now that when the DVD is done- I WILL NOT STOP.

Whether or not I make it to Slimmons 3X a week, I will start jogging more and (hopefully) hiking and swimming laps throughout the week! I have to, because if I stop I will wind up right back where I started which was not  in the best place. Gotta keep on keepin' on folks!

I feel too good right now to go back. I am feeling lighter and prettier and might even be standing a little taller- with special restrictions when my back muscles spasm ;)

I am just really happy.

In other news- I am so excited because some of my friends from the DVD and I are going to be doing a walk for Ovarian Cancer Research! I have never done one before, having always wanted to, because I was embarrassed about being so out of shape. Well times have changed and I am doing this whether I can run faster than others or not. I get to donate my time and energy to women suffering from this terrible illness- what better way is there to work out?! Of course, it will also be a big bonding experience for all of my Slimmons friends! If you are interested in walking with us let me know, or you can start your own team- just go to www.ovariancancercalifornia.com and click on the banner for the September 13 walk.

This month is full of goodness dude!!!! In a few days I will be registering for Birthright which I am praying I get into for the December trip~ cross your fingers for me.

Candi and Marisa are coming out at the end of the month for the Slimmons wrap party and I am sooooooo excited to see them. I already told Marisa- I might cry... lol.

Not to mention a nice three day weekend--- THank You LABOR DAY!!!

I would say that all this goodness means that I haven't been bogged down with stress and sadness but that would be a lie. However, I am choosing to count my blessings and be happy whenever I can. Not gonna let anyone get in my way- especially ME.

Alright, enough blogging for now. 

Thank you for taking the time to read and for all the support I have received. I love, love, love you!!!
