This is the sunset I want to ride off into some day.

My favorite quote

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not
our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the
world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not
just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Impossible?..... NOT!!!!

Hey Everybody,

So I have this renewed spirit in me... I have yet to test it in the gym but that doesn't even matter because I am so excited about this right now. I do have negative thoughts but I'm trying my hardest to not let those get to me. Not entirely but part of this excited feeling is due to a song I heard for the first time on The Biggest Loser from like two weeks ago that I was yes just "getting around" to seeing tonight. SO the song is called Impossible by Kate Earl and I found it on Youtube and just keep playing it over and over. I feel like it explains so well the things I've been going through on my journey. So here's the lyrics... if I can figure it out I'm going to try to put the video on here but you know me... who knows if it'll work lol.

no matter how hard
no matter how tough
there is no turning back
no way you’ll ever give up on me
no matter how dark
no matter how deep
the challenges may be
you’re gonna find me right here
always right beside you
What ever curve
life may throw
we’re in it together
cause you and i
are building our dream
they say impossible
they say it can’t be done
can’t break us down cause we’re unstoppable
they say too difficult
that it could never work
they think that we’ve been tryin for too long
but i know better
i know that we’re about to show them all
no matter how sick
no matter how tired
frustrated i become
you never let me give into that
no matter who sees
no matter who thinks
that they can put you down
go on and hold your head high honey
circumstances for worse or better
are no excuse to forfeit our dreams
they say impossible
they say it can’t be done
can’t break us down cause we’re unstoppable
they say too difficult
that it could never work
they think that we’ve been tryin for too long
they can say what they want to
anyway it never matters what they think
they’re still blind and we’re still free
i know i know i know...
they say impossible they say it can’t be done can’t break us down cause we’re unstoppable they say too difficult that it could never work they think that we’ve been tryin for too long but i know better but i know we’ll prove them wrong cause i know better i know that we’re about to show them all

Ok the only thing with this song is that when it's said "They say... They can't" for me all of those things are the things I was telling myself. I didn't think it was possible. I believed all of those things about myself and about the things I was trying to do in my life. I don't for sure know when things but man am I glad they did. I just wish I could inspire that change in other people. But for now I'm determined to just be happy with what I've done for myself and to keep it happening.


I finally jumped off the platue (sp?) I've been on for like.... I don't know a REALLY really long time. I was stuck at the 195lbs mark for months... honestly almost a year. I've gotten past that though. I got back to the gym and honestly I thought my workouts sucked lately I didn't feel like I was doing the best I could. But it paid off anyways. I lost 3 pounds. I know I know 3 pounds is nothing compared to the 30-35 I've already lost but I was stuck for so long and honestly that 30-35 lbs added up because of the 2,3,4 pound weight losses. I started this journey at a size 24 or 3X. Just the other day i bought (shouldn't have but did anyway :/) a pair of pants that are a size.... GET THIS... 16!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited.


I never thought i could do this but now I've proven that I CAN. Some people even myself sometimes and people that love me that it's taken too long. Well yes maybe it has but I'm just glad it's happening at all and fact is... yes FACT that people who lose their weight slowly have a better chance of keeping it off PERMANENTLY!!!! Thats what I'm going for here a life change... a healthy life for the rest of my life.


I have so much to say but I really need to get to bed and this has been long enough as it is. lol I hope you all enjoyed this post. I'm hoping now that I've gotten all this feeling out I won't be as emotional as I have been the last week. BYE p.s. I love you all for being on this journey with me. THANK YOU!!!!
