Happy Hump Day!

I am so impressed on how much my spirits have risen these past few weeks. At one point I thought I had really hit the bottom, but I picked myself up and kept going. I am optimistic that something great is going to come into my life soon. But as my bestfriend Lindsey reminded me " It takes the bad things in life for us to recognize the good things" I mean what would the good things be if there were no bad things? hmm quite the question to ponder. ha.ha. I have come to really enjoy my new outlook on life. Having a sick family has completely kicked my butt into gear. I have been heard saying " I can't do anything about our family history, or what I have done to my body in the past, but I CAN change the route that I was going and try to prevent myself from getting cancer. I have already lost 5 pounds in two weeks, and I have upped my kickboxing classes to the max (four times a week). My mom and I are walking 13 miles in the Cleveland Marathon in May, so I am going to begin training for that this coming Sunday, and I want to also train to run my first 5k this March. Health has kind of consumed my life these past few weeks. I often can't believe how I let myself spin out of control those four years. 50 pounds. Wow that's alot of beer, swensons, olive garden and mac n cheese. Not to say I will still not enjoy those things but I have definitely been hit with reality and I am glad it came crashing down on me at this point in my life. To me I have NO OTHER CHOICE. I have to get healthy. That's the bottom line :) I am so ready for new things to come into my life and I am going slightly impatient waiting for them to happen..but I know that is normal :) Much thanks goes out to my best friends who have supported me through everything. I could not be who or where I am today with out them.
