Final Week

I can't believe that we are in the final few days of the contest.  I have come a long way.  I remember my initial assessment, and just walking for the 5 minutes on the treadmill.  I though I would not make it.  Then we had the initial group workout.  I barely made it through that, and I could not move for a few days after that.  I still struggle with some of the things we do, but I get through them, even if I am slow.  I certainly believe in myself more than I have for a long time.  I know that I can do anything I put my mind to.  I also realize that in the past, I was kidding myself with my "workouts".  What I thought was pushing it, or my max, was no where near where I am now. 

I wanted to say a big thank you to Jacqueline.  She has been such an inspiring and supportive person in my life during the past 2 months.  I am glad she came into my life.

I also wanted to say a big thank you to Red Dawn.  I can't imagine going through this process without the love, support and encouragement of the rest of my team.  We all have been a family since about 30 minutes into our first workout.  We have all had our good days and bad days, but we have all been there encouraging and supporting each other.  I am glad that you all came into my life.  I can't wait for all of us to continue on our journey's.  I wish each and eveyone of you the best in everythnig you do.

Thank you all.
