First of all, DH was telling me the other day how he could not believe how long I have known the "LJ Girls" and how we should all do some girls trip someday! HA how cool would that be? But yes...it has to be 10+ years! BEFORE we were married right? Oh my.

I always meet people now and they think like you that I grew up sporty and all into fitness and its just not so. I had to go through the whole "I hate this so much" for so long until it just became habit, then I found things I love in it. Thank goodness right? Otherwise my daily life would be misery!!! I do always look for new adventures and challenges.

Thank you for the sweet words about my before. Like I said, I never felt badly about myself. I only changed for my health and thats what its always been about. :)

You truly are an inspiration and always have been. I remember when we shared our WW journeys back on CC and they were good times. :) Keep the great work. I hope to have the body you have now one day! I unfort gained most of my weight back so its will be another long journey!
