Goal

The last 12 weeks I have been on a mission to lose weight. In that I have been successful. Sure I can still stand to lose more, and I am make head-way.

Sometimes I forget all the things I have been able to accomplish over the years. It's silly that I don't give myself enough credit for it. Left over feelings from my family. My mother used to say that I never finished what I started. That was so untrue, even then.

In the last few years, I have finished my book which I am trying to get agent for. There is the scooter shop that against all odds is still up and running. I have helped to raise a few litters of pups.

As far as my exercise routine this is going to be 4 years of consistently going to Pilate's and 3 years of Belly dancing. In the Belly dancing I have become quite good and have performed most of the year, even subbing for my teacher.

The last 12 weeks was about dancing more times a week. I was able to do that and it has help so much. I have a lot more energy and don't get winded like I used to. This will all help in my surfing. I need to get back out and do that. Really I have a lot of motivation in myself and I get up and go all on my own. I do pray for the endurance to keep going and to keep a positive outlook.

Some say we should just be happy no matter what weight we are. The truth is we are not healthy being overweight. I have not been healthy and it is that concern that has made me really take this to heart. Sure we don't want to be mean, but encouraging family that is overweight to go for a walk with you or a bike ride can be a positive way to tell them, "I love you and want you to be healthier and around for a long time."

Here is to the rest of the year and keeping up with my goals! OXOX
