I know it has been a long time since my last entry but here it is. I recently just ran a half marathon this past Saturday and it felt amazing. I always thought that running a long race like 13.2 miles would be an impossibility. I have gained so much more motivation in the last few months that I would never have thought would be possible. I am so grateful for all my friends and family that have supported and encouraged me to reach farther and further for things. I have a new found motivation to achieve more things. When I lost the weight I initially thought it was all about a number but I realized that it was more than that....It was about digging deep within myself and finding the person that had been hiding from the world.
I guess the thing that I have to admit is that their are obstacles along the way. There are times that I have fear that I will gain the weight back and let people down but I realize now that it is all about a journey and pushing through the hard times and reaching farther and further ahead of us. We live in a world where people try to make us into people we aren't. I think the most important thing is to realize that we already are important.. We all are beautiful and extraordinary people. We all have our own gifts...We all have our own quirks as well and we need to be proud of the skin we are in and savor the experiences and opportunities we are all given in this life. When we want to give up....we got to just keep fighting and pushing through. We got to keep getting up when we feel like the world has knocked us down and we have to know that in the end the most important thing to remember is that we matter and always matter no matter what!
don't forget to smile and don't forget that I believe in you and I love you!
