Hopes and Dreams?

Dawn put this question in another post and I thought it was a good one and we should toss it out to everyone! "WHAT GOALS OR DREAMS HAVE YOU GIVEN UP ON BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT THAT YOU NOW LOOK FORWARD TO DOING?" As for me, the answer is my marathon! I'm going to train for it next year and I'm going to finally do it! And think I'll pick the Hawaii event! http://www.strokeassociation.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1005 "Ain't no stopping us now!"

This is an easy one for me! I'm going to finally finish nursing school! I stopped when I got pregnant with my little girl (that was Sept 03) because I was having such a hard time with the pregnancy. I intended on going back the next fall, but between having a baby I couldn't stand to leave and the additional 40 or so pounds I added with her pregnancy, I just didnt have the energy or nerve to go back to school with a bunch of skinny, high-energy 18 year olds. It was hard enough being one of the oldest students, even at 31, but being so overweight made it even worse. Nothing worse to me than walking from one class to another and being seriously out of breath and covered in sweat by the time you get there to kill your confidence..... So- if we dont get transferred in the next couple of months I'll be starting back either in January or June, whenever I can get my paperwork and financial aid settled. Three more semesters to go!!!

I wish you the best on finishing your nursing degree!! Lord knows we need more good nurses (I'm saying this because of the experience I had in the hospital). Keep us updated and good luck!

Hola Violeta! One of my goals was to be able to run with my children, play with them & not feel fatigued...I hope to acomplish that some day... Also going to a normal store to buy clothes..

I'm with you on all of them! I'll be ecstatic when I can do all those things!

YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEAUTIFUL!
