#147 Hump Day

First off, it doesn't seem like a Wednesday. That darn hurricane and holiday has sort of thrown me for a loop. I am still trying to get into the swing of things as well as continuing to write this blog. Don't worry guys, I will continue to write, but you know how it is when you get out of habit with something.

Like every day before weigh in day, I am nervous. As I stated yesterday, I weighed myself on Thursday just to see the damage. As you know, it showed that I maintained. However, I really don't like to weigh myself outside the WW scale because there aren't two scales that are exactly calibrated the same.

Any way, I am nervous bottom line. This past two weeks have sort of been crazy to say the least. With the hurricane and holiday, I haven't been tracking or exercising (i am not counting cleaning or yard work). I haven't really been eating unhealthy but just a little bit more. I sure hope that I didn't totally screw up, but if I did, I know from past experience that I can come back from it. I have the tools I need to accomplish what I need too.

When I first started WW, my reason's for joining were purely for superficial reasons. I didn't like the way I looked, but when I really think about it yes of course the superficial reasons are there, but more or less I wanted to be the healthiest me that I can. You may ask why then? Why two years ago? My answer is really simple. I WAS READY. I wasn't doing it to find a man; I wasn't doing it to please others. I wanted to lose the weight for me. I wanted to be healthy; I wanted to be able to keep up with my future children and nieces or nephews. That's it. 

This photo couldn't have said it better; it basically took the words out of my mouth. 

I finally have another motivation to finally lose the rest of my weight. My 10 class reunion. WOW!!!! It is hard to believe that I have been out of high school for 10 years. Time really does fly. It seems like yesterday I was walking across the CLHS stage getting my diploma. It brings me back, and it makes me wonder. When I think back on what I accomplished in life, I am happy. If you would have asked me 10 years ago, where I thought I would be, I think I would have said that I would have a successful career as a pharmacists with a family. Now really is that what I really wanted. Yes. When I left Central Lafourche, I had a different life in mind. My life has taken a different path than I expected. I still want to have a family and have a successful career (not as a pharmacist). In college, I changed my major a bunch until I finally settled on Graphic Design. Design is a passion of mine. I may not have a quote unquote "real job," but I am pursuing my dreams. Let's look at what I have done in the past 10 years:

1. I went to college 6.5 hours away from by myself without knowing a single sole. 
2. I traveled the world while going to class on a cruise ship with semester at see visiting 3 continents. South America, Africa, & Asia.
3. I worked for the mouse; I world for the Walt Disney World Resort and learned a lot about myself.
4. I went skydiving, which by far may be the best experience of my life.
5. I have friend around the world. 
6. I lived in 2 other states outside of Louisiana. Mississippi & Florida.

I can't really think of anymore, but you get the point. I have done things in my life that others have only dreamed about. I couldn't be more proud of myself. 

I don't have a single doubt in my mind that one day Mr. Right will walk into my life or come out of the shadows. He will show up when God's plan allows him too. I will find the career/job that I am supposed to pursue. I will be happy.

Thanks everyone who have truly supported me throughout my life; you know who you are. Without you, I don't think I could have accomplished anything. 

Happy Reading!!!!
