To the friends who inspired and paved the way…
To the trainer who believed in me and my abilities before I could believe in myself…
To the friends who didn’t laugh when I told them what I wanted to do…
To the friends who walked and ran beside me as we cheered each other on…
To those that took the time to say a few kind words, drop a line, or call to say, “You’ve inspired me.”
To the friends that taught me how to be a friend and what true friendship looks like…
To the marathon: being able to say, “yeah, I ran a marathon, I can handle this”…..
To the fear, and the courage to proceed anyway….
To shows like The Biggest Loser for motivation and inspiration…
To the deployment that frustrated, stalled, and detoured me…
To the technology to keep in touch with accountability partners, friends and my husband…
To this body that continually surprises me with its capacity for strength..
To Facebook peeps who tolerate my exercise vomit…and food pics…
To the constantly improving weather as we head into spring…
Thank you.
Thank you.
To the gremlin voice who still rears its ugly head: thank you for the criticism that propels me forward…just to prove you wrong. I am doing the damn thing and my goals WILL be achieved.
Watch me!
