I had a NSV moment that I had to share. I have committed to adding exercise to my new lifestyle. I started by putting a treadmill in my living room. I walk whenever I watch TV. ( and I dance on it when I watch The Voice, LOL) I decided that during commercials I would bump up the pace. Well, the other night, I decided that it was time to give running a chance...That's when I noticed out of the corner of my eye movement next to me, And then I saw the most wonderful shadow! It was a shadow of a girl running...It was me, the young girl of my past that was always too fat to run...I couldn't help but shed a tear. And then a smile, and then a Happy Dance!!! Look out world, here I come!

i hear you! when i have been out walking lately, i have found myself running, without even being conscious of it. it's very exhilarating, doing something you never thought you would!!!!

Isn't it amazing to open up parts of life that were previously closed to us?

It's great, isn't it? I know someday I'll stop thinking like a 'fat girl' who has been granted a wish but for now it feels like a gift every day to be able to do so many things, even crossing my legs!
