How many of you take pictures along the journey? I am one that likes to take pictures, but not be in pictures!!!! But will take them and not show them to anyone!
The one picture is of me 5 years ago on a trip to New York City. We were on a tour of Radio City Music Hall--Home of the beloved Rocketts! I have always loved the Rocketts and seeing them perform! Well here was my chance to meet one in person and have my picture taken with them! Little did I realize, not to many people have seen this picture! I was in the high 290's in my weight in this picture! I had done more activity on this trip than I had ever been! You don't drive in NYC...you walk!!! EVERYWHERE!!!! Well I easily dropped almost 10 pounds in a week because I was moving my body!!! When I got back from this trip is when I walked through the doors of Weight Watchers!!!
The 2nd picture is of me and my sweet cousin Susan at Christmas 2012! I am almost 85 pounds lighter in this picture! I never fully realized until today that I am a totally different person!!
I had to speak this morning at a Weight Watchers open house about activity and what a difference it has made in my life! One of my friends recently made a comment about it seems that now my face is just beaming!!! It has just hit me that I SOOOO love living life now more than I did 5 years ago! I love being active with my family and friends! I look for new ways to push myself to doing different activities!!! And yes...last year was a first for me: 1/2 Marathon with my crazy friend Angela!!
Life is out there to be lived!!! Not to waste it away sitting on the couch wishing for something to be different! You have to be the difference you want to see!!
I will challenge you like I did today for a Weight Watchers meeting: Do something and no matter where you finish, you will beat the people still sitting on the couch!!!
Keep on keeping on!!!
