Fat Girl Recharged

Tomorrow or tonight I will give you all the race recap (HOMM 1/2 marathon), but I remembered today is an important day.  This is the day two years ago that I weighed 190lbs!!  This was the day that I came home from a week in the Caribbean and realized, "Holy crap, I'm fat!"  Everything was set in motion that day; my life would change.

So this weekend  I ran away to Salt Lake where this fat girl's heart got a recharge.  I enjoyed the love of a best friend and his family.  I enjoyed a race and the time with fellow athletes.  I enjoyed the spirit of the Stake Conference in which I attended on Sunday.

If I had known my "Fat" anniversary was this weekend I might not have ran away.  I know some of you thought I was going up for a date or something, but you could not be further from the truth.  I know SLC is the place for all the single LDS people, but I really don't travel for dates.  And along those lines, I wanted to inform you all that I found out I not as big of a whore as I thought was... If you are new to this blog, you just fell out of your chair.  Please see previous post called Whore

I continue, I found out I am not the attention whore I have claimed to be.  Don't get me wrong, I am still easy and still want paid for it, but after un-hiding my profile on a dating site and getting about 60 emails in one day (that was just one day!), and I didn't count how many I got other days,  I decided that is not for me.  Thank you to the 500+ guys who looked at my profile over the past week (what an ego boost!) but right now I know, that my "someday" with someone special is coming, but good things take time, and I don't need to push that.  See these two years have taught me that hard work, dedication, and faith make things happen.

Did I mention it's been 2 years!!  Holy Cow!!!

I mean, look what I have done with my body, look what I have done with my life .  It took almost 2 years to become a size 0 (started at a size 16).  It took two years to want to run everyday and love it the way I do.  It took two years to be this happy!   Don't get me wrong I still have issues and problems, but like my friend said "you are a different person now".  I am happier and the feel of my home and even my company has changed because I changed.

These days it is sometimes hard to remember the "fatty" I was before, and some days I don't want to remember the "fat" girl I was, because it makes me sad.  I do try to remember that I don't want to ever be that girl again.  I am always thankful of the lessons I learned, and I am really thankful I have became a Beachbody Coach and have had the opportunity to inspire others.

If you need to make a change take a step today and keep going and like anything of value it is going to be hard work, but it is worth it!

2 years!!!!!!  Life has changed so much!  Love all of you have been with me though this awesome journey.
