The end....

Or is it just the beginning????
 
No matter what happens tonight, I want to thank Dan Farnworth and Kevin Faraci for believing in me, helping me believe in myself and making me work hard. The journey began with Dan taking me on as a pet project last Februaryish. Fostering me out to Kevin when he was unable to train me. There is something about those boys that created this bond we have. Maybe it's their truthfulness or maybe it's that they saw the "27 year old" that was screaming to get out and play! So, as for this contest that has lasted six long months, it is finally over as soon as I step on that scale and get my picture taken. Boom! (In the words of Dan.) Tonight at 630 I will be slapping a big ol steak on the grill and consuming it in one delicate bite. Then my next journey will start. Don't worry, there will be drinking and eating involved, but not like my old habits. Thank you Laura and Cori for your support during all of this. I know I drove Cori nuts with all of my questions, I'm sorry for that! Thank you to my family members that have supported me and to my friends and strangers who cheered me on. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I feel like I'm receive the Oscar Award....there is no prize for the place that I will end in EXCEPT for the prize of being healthy, strong and alive!!!  Peace out for the last time.....

The end but not THE END

One more week (okay 5-1/2 days) until the final weigh in.  I'm looking foward to the end of the contest, but by no means is this the end of my journey.  Life goes on, the journey goes on.  I'm in this to be healthy.  It is not going to be easy, I know this already.  I have a great support system.  I have those who do not support me, but I know now how to avoid their actions.  We can cheat, but not cheat every day.  Exercise as much as possible.  Drink water until I float away. 
 
This past week had been a super week for me.  Community Day at work got me my 15,000 steps in the morning.  Woooo hoooo.  I did a lot of cleaning and moving of junk.  Worked up sweat that I didn't know I could work up!  It was all for a great cause and it helped with my exercise for the week. 
 
I will write before the end of the week just to say goodbye.... peace out!

no words

I just don't know what to say... I've done everything right and just can't get out of this funk.  I've changed up the exercise. I'm now searching for foods that I like that aren't fattening.  I would love to just sit down with a huge bowl of combos and call it a day!  I'm starving all the time but nothing sounds good.  I'm trying new foods but half of the stuff just makes me want to kak.  I'm just tired of fighting with my stomach. We have a lot to fight over, but it seems like the tummy ALWAYS wins. 
 
Why do I feel like I'm in this boat alone...
