3 Years Ago.....

OMG!  Has it been 3 years already???  I almost forgot (OH reminded me what day it was).  Sometimes it seems like just yesterday I started this journey, and now I feel like I am getting towards the end of it.

I have learned SO much about myself.  I have learned that I do not have to tolerate the things I would have brushed off in the past.  I am equally (if not more) important as everything else that I do in my life.  I am ME, before Mother, Sister, Daughter and Wife.

I have learned that I have an inner athlete.  Sometimes she's a bit much to deal with, but she's there and LOVES to do things.

I have learned that I have an inner Vixxxen - my alter ego.  She loves adventure and loves to try new things.  Heck....she rides a Harley!

I have learned that people like me for me, and not because I am willing to do things for them.

I have learned alot.  So...what's next?  Where do I go from here?  I am doing the plastics route, now.  1 surgery down, next one will be next month. 

But, it's a scary thought.  Like graduating from college.  What do I do now????  I'm still not sure.  I went and earned a certification to become a Personal Trainer, but not sure that's what I want to do.  I enjoy my workouts too much to share them.  But, knowing me....I'll find something.

Just wanted to share.......

It does not seem like three years!  Congrats.  You have come so far and are such an inspiration.  I am proud of all you have already and have yet to accomplish.  Thanks for sharing!

CONGRATS! HAPPY 3rd SURGEVERSAY! The things you mention in your post are things I'm still working on and I am so glad I can come here and see yours and others posts that still encourage, inspire and motivate me. I'm so proud of you and your accomplishments and am glad we've been closer friends. I miss ya lately but Life eh?!!?

Hope you celebrate!

Congratulations!!!!!  What an awesome accomplishment.  You are such an inspiration, I hope to be where you are in three years, not just physically but mentally and emotionally.  You are such a positive and encouraging person.

Keep it up!
