| Holy sweet lord, look at my starting weight!? |
Yesterday marked a milestone for me. It was my one year
anniversary of the beginning of my weightloss journey. I began on 7/8/2012. And,
what a year it has been! I’m down 88 pounds and 34.11% of my original body
weight. I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful I feel. How different I feel.
How much more energy I have! And, I realized that weight truly does play a huge
role in the onset of problems so numerous that ain’t nobody got time for dat!
What I do have time for is the fact that today is a
milestone for me as well…as I’ve moved into completely uncharted territory. Where
do I go from here? How do I maintain what I’ve achieved? What’s the next step?
I’ve never lost weight, achieved my goal, and been at goal for any length of
time. I always wind up losing the war. But, this feels good. This feels
different. I CANNOT lose this war or even lose a single battle!

So, I’ve set a new goal. Mark (sorry babe) and I will
participate in the Warrior Dash in May of 2014. I don’t even know where to
begin. What kind of training is required? What kind of shape do we need to be
in to participate? Should we set a time goal or just an “I need to finish this”
kind of goal? It’s a place to focus. Also, in that training is the thoughts
that I’ll run the Hike for Hope +5k next year.
What’s that you say? I’ve been “running” the Hike for Hope
for years, but in 2014, I plan to be a participant and support it thru that
means, rather than thru the organizational means. I can’t wait! I can’t wait to
see the event from a different perspective!
I’m so excited about the endless possibilities. I’ve set my
mind to it. I’ve set the goals. Now, again, it’s time for action. How
achievable are these goals? I start today. Today is the day that I find out the
answers. Every day is the chance for a new beginning. Today is the day.
Well, it appears that I’m asking more questions than I am
giving answers this week, so I’ll finish by saying, will you all follow along?
