Randomness on a rainy day!

Well, I got the sudden urge to blog after reading some other awesome blogs today! 

This morning I got up and drug myself to the last GRIT class for a while and then stayed for body pump after.  I was pretty pumped to get home and shower after-- little did I know that I was supposed to teach zumba- so my sincere apologizes for not making it and leaving peeps!  I will make it up to you next week with an awesome class!

Mom and I went to the gourd festival before the rains came and I was pretty pumped to see Dave since I haven't seen him in what seems like forever... to say I'm not a little disapointed that he's getting married soon would be a lie- but life goes on!

Today I've just been thinking about the awesome people who have supported me along this journey and how unfortunately there are going to be those "haters" along the way too!  I am so fortunate to have some great people by my side!
Just to name a few: Samantha, Jessica, Leann, Aaron, Marie, Libba, Andrea, Heather, Curry, Austin, Christy and my awesome parents!

The other day someone asked me how I stay motivated and how I decided to do this, and it was something I seriously had to think about because I'm not real sure how I decided to "JUST DO IT."  I told her I was feeling yucky about life and my life sucked.  My life didn't really suck, but I do know that I wasn't truly happy.  I could find things that made me happy, but just being happy wasn't something I felt often.  Around Christmas/New Years time I realized I sure wasn't getting any smaller and that I was larger than I had been in a while and that my clothes less than fit well and that was surely saddening to me.
I guess I just realized that I had to make a change and I also knew that I couldn't do it by myself and that Leann was seeing a trainer- Aaron.

I could keep going, but I think I'll save that for another rainy day-- since it is literally raining today.

I will say this- choosing to take control of my life and take care of myself has been the best decision I have EVER made in my life.  Some days are worse than others and some weeks are just plain crap, but RARELY do I miss a work out of some time every single day and I feel good about the progress I'm making. It might be slow progress sometimes but it's still progress and that's what I want.

Happy Weekend peeps!  Maybe you'll get lucky and get another post tomorrow!
