I DID IT!!!

Wow I have lost 70 lbs in about 11 mths. That is just crazy to think about. I honestly don't really know what to write I am really happy, excited, proud, all at the same time.

So not only did I hit the goal today but I took it up a notch on my exercise. I have a few things in my head that I would like to accomplish one is a Marathon hence the training for the 1/2 marathon, the other is a triathlon, so there is nothing like today to start working on your dreams. So I biked one mile down the highway and then ran 4 and then biked home. Now just so you don't get the wrong idea a lot of my "biking" was walking beside the bike uphill literally both ways. But I thought it was kind of ironic that I am now to the point where I can run 4 miles without walking at all and yet now I have to walk with my bike instead of riding it. I am always very attracted to things that are a process instead of instant. So much so that I really don't even like instant pudding. I do believe the "INSTANT" is the devil's playground.

I do believe this applies in all aspects of life. Live a full a vivacious life but LIVE IT don't just participate in it. I have to be honest I didn't know how much I was missing a year ago I didn't know that one could be so happy without chocolate. But I am I really really am I wish you could see the sparkle in my eye as I say that. It is a cross between tears, and peace, and perhaps a little bit of my spirit peeking through.
