Day 64

"Making real, lasting change is like plowing a path. The more you use the new path, the easier it gets. So make that change and do not give up! Hard work does pay off eventually :)"

This speaks volumes to me. Every day I have a choice. I can continue on this new very difficult path i am on, or i can revert back to my old self. This new path (well not so new now) but new path began over a year ago. I stopped drinking, I started working out and I started watching what I ate. This is by no means a "diet" I made a lifestyle change and lost over 40 pounds and am sooo fit!. Now was this hard. HELL YEAH it was. Not only do you have your own self telling you, that you can take a day off from working out.. but you have so called friends who want you to drink, or insist you try their yummy super fattening cake that you have no desire to eat or to "just have one beer. It won't kill you. Do you really need to work out today? You look fine." No i do not need your food/drinks and yes I need to work out.

Any change you make even small will be difficult. I have always been one up for a challenge so this past year, though extremely difficult, the results are amazing and I am so happy to know that I can do anything I set my mind too. I have changed myself physically and emotionally. I am a happy girl through me. I no longer rely on others to make me happy, I no longer feel that I deserve something that someone else has. I am happy with the cards that were dealt to me. Some days i do wish I had someone to share my life with, as it is fairly awesome, but I do not dwell on that. That person will come along at the right moment. It must be the right moment for us both.

So get out there make your change.. whatever it may be and do not give up when the going gets tough, push through and remember only YOU can make YOU whole and happy!

Good Luck!
