PROUD MOMENT!

So here's something that wouldn't have happened before: Today I stayed home with a cold. Tonight,however I was feeling better, and was looking forward to my workout buddy coming over and enforcing me to keep my committment of walking 30 minutes every day. I called her to confirm and she CANCELLED on me - CRAP! My girlfriend said - "Sweety, just go outside for a walk, or go down to the workout center by yourself." Well. . .I was feeling better enough to workout for my buddy, but not good enough to face the world alone. . . SO - I pulled out the Leslie Sansone and walked for 30 minutes in my bedroom. I got a healthy sweat, and am sipping my victory Crystal Light as we speak. It is so amazing to me just how much my habits have changed. I mean, this was the perfect opportunity to let my habits slip, to let my inertia take over and drag be back down away from progress, and back towards 400lbs. But I didn't! The words of encouragement from my girlfriend, the thoughts of all of you and your journeys, and love for myself and my new life all brought me infront of that TV doing my workout like I needed to. I feel great, and am so proud I'm starting to tear up. Thank god for each and every one of you! Thank you for sharing your journey with me, that I am healed by reading your struggles and triumphs. I feel great! Good night, ~Lara
