Hit my first goal!

I never used to make goals. It was always so depressing when the time would come and I didn't even come close to hitting the goal I set. As the pounds have come off I have started to become a different person. I am a positive person with a new outlook on life. I now set small goals. My first goal was to hit 50lbs and last week I did it! I hit 56lbs lost! (pics to come) It been along time since I was proud of myself. Its been about 9 yrs ago when I had my first child. since I have had a feeling of pride. Next goal is to cross the start line of my first 5k race. I have started a team of friends,  family, clients and anyone else who wants to join.


The best part of my week was when I was getting my goodnight hug from my kids. My daughter Ashley put her arms around me and wouldn't let go. My first thought was she was trying to spare herself a few min so she could watch the end of a show. But how wrong I was. I told her "ok Ash its time to let go." She looked up at bright eyes and a ear to ear grin. I asked her are you ok? She said to me " I can wrap my arms all the way around you, I can lock my fingers!" She has never been able to do that. I cried! Needless to say I am getting more hugs these days! I love it!
