My daughter and her fiance bought me a jar of Kind Notes to open when I was depressed because of my new life style. I have been opening one each morning to get me through the day. Today's made me cry..."Just look at where you are now...this was the right choice!" That is what I was thinking all day yesterday! This morning at my weekly weigh in I am down 35 pounds! It may not sound like much, but it is huge to me! I went through 2 weeks of not losing anything and I was really depressed. I stuck with the new life style and didn't fall back into bad habits. I know that I am going to lose this weight and to know that the weight will never come back is the best feeling ever. It has been a long haul and will be for a while longer, but I know my decision was the right one! I feel like I am shrinking:)
My goal now is to start exercising and have the strength to get on a horse when we go to Yellowstone this year instead of riding in the stage coach...I am always embarrassed when Fred is telling the story. Not this year, I am going on the horse!!! I would also like to take that hike out to the lake that we wanted to take last year, but I couldn't. I am excited for my new life.
I also have so many reasons to feel lucky this past 12 months. Sara found a job that makes her happy and she loves going to work, and is planning her dream wedding. Chris found a job and he is happy with his life and a baby coming, they are also thinking of looking for a new home. Jason found his place in life this week too! I am so excited for all of us! We are celebrating tonight with a Luck of the Irish party and campfire. If you are bored, stop by and have a beer with us:)
Got to go clean:)
