I had all intension of blogging yesterday to tell you my exciting news and my day just got supah jammed pack with to-do’s! One being we’re painting our bedroom, and when I say “we”, I mean myself and my fabulous decorating sister, Amanda. I can’t wait to show you the before and after pictures… I really just can’t wait till the AFTER picture to get here.
Another thing I want to mention, my lil’sis now has her blog up and running, its fantastic!
She’s new at this blogging thing and it’d be great if you stopped by and welcomed to the blog world.
Today, the summer bootcamp session starts, so I need to get my booty away from the computer and ready to get out the door soon! But before I head out, I wanted to tell you my exciting news… but before that I thought this picture below was appropriate to show you again…
As of yesterday, June 6th, I have reached my weight-loss goal I set back in April 2010 to finally lose the last of the weight. Since April 2010, I’ve lost 45lbs. (the left side picture above is not from April 2010, its from 2001). I am so beyond happy about this accomplishment. I cried when I saw I had reached my goal. Tears of joy. I don’t know if I can articulate just how I feel. Going from feeling completely hopeless regarding my weight issues and thinking that I could never change the way how am, the way I eat, the way I act, the way I think. To becoming a fighter and tackling what I thought was impossible, changing how I thought about myself, changing how I ate, changing how I acted to become someone who loves exercise and not just sitting on the couch wasting away. To exceeding my expectations of myself and achieving what I’ve set out to do… I’m simply speechless.

For those of you who asked, my bike is a Road Master Mountain Bike. Nothing too fancy, but the baby at Wal*Mart for about $70 dollars. Wanted to see if I’d even like biking when I first got it, so I didn’t want to spend a ton.
Who’s saying what?
