My Canadian buddy Sara – Use it 2 lose it posted the event rocktober this morning. I will be the first to admit that I have joined event challenges in the past and never really stuck with them. For whatever reason the PUSH just wasn’t there and after a few days I lost interest and eventually quit.
Here I am, typing this to all of you on the last day of September. My biggest accomplishment for the past month has been participating with my new friend Susanne and my ten year old daughter in the 5k Terry Fox Run. A first for my daughter and I.
I had every intention of being in the 150′s by October 1st but saying and doing are two completely different things. I have managed to maintain 169.5 lbs for the month of September. Physically, I am much stronger. Mentally, I struggle with the fact that I wasted a month. As I enter into October my mind set has changed. I took a few minutes today and looked back on pictures of myself in October 2010. The changes are amazing and I am so very proud of myself for all that I have accomplished since January of this year. October means A LOT to me, not only is it a brand new month but it is also my birth month. On October 21 I will turn 29 years old. As a promise to myself I have pledged to lose 10 lbs, these 10 lbs symbolize SO much for me. Not only will I see the 150′s but will also celebrate a 50 lb loss!! This is something I will do for ME. A birthday present to myself and probably the greatest gift I could ever receive. Honestly, who wouldn’t want to add years to their own life?
It may not be October 1 just yet but today will be a STRONG day for me! There’s nothing quite like getting started early.
Life is GREAT and my support system over at 2011 – The year of fit, healthy and slim helps keep me on track and moving forward every single day! I am one of the luckiest women in the world to call these amazing people my friends!!
