The Verdict IS IN!! October 28, 2009

Goals: I have goals to continue working out drinking, plenty of water but only better and remember to say no.

Weight: 204.2

Mood: Still very much encourage, happy and full of joy. To add peaceful and blessed.

Yes, I know I gained 3.8 lbs. I know you expect me to be upset, But I am not. My life is going just great. I have learned so much more by completing the Subway GET FIT Challenge. Like I have said before, I thought it was about losing weight and to a certain degree it is, but that is not the ultimate prize. I have lost several inches and proud of that. My body is more toned that ever. I still have a ways to go and the best thing about that is I am getting there. And will get there. I may not be there by the end of the challenge, but it won’t be long after. That’s not all, I have the power to say no and not feel bad about it. Actually it feels great to say no to sweets and the foods that are not healthy for me. It also feels good to tell people no every once and a while and not feel guilty. I can’t save the world and if I can’t get it done today it will surely be there tomorrow. My life is far less stressful and now I am even happy. I have always been a happy, peaceful person, but now God has open a door to even more peacefulness and joy. My family is happier and my husband loves me regardless if I lose a pound or not. Don’t get me wrong I have always known that, but taking time out for others and not for each other, I somehow forgot to focus on that at times. We just celebrated out 17th wedding anniversary. What a great celebration.!! Julie has been a great inspiration to my success. It all started by weighing in after our visits. Once I discover my, victories and accomplishments, the scale is the least of my worries. Thanks Julie. Looking forward to greater victories.
