Blessed Beyond Belief!

I need to be in the gym right now but I am sitting in the food court bawling my eyes out for so many reasons!! I have been really emotional lately about the fact that I am SO CLOSE to 100lbs gone. I have to lose ONE pound this week. ONE. So in case I wasn't emotional enough, my good friend Amy sent me a FB comment just now that has me literally sobbing like a baby at school. I wanted to share the comment with you:

This morning when I was working out, I had a major breakthrough. When my muscles started to ache, breathing got harder, & sweat started pouring, I smiled. And pushed for more. Normally, I would have given up the minute I felt that prickly heat starting, but now, I live for the sweat & the sore muscles. I made my shopping list yesterday & was surprised at how many new, healthy foods I had on the list as opposed to junk. I've come so far in a couple of months & while I know im the one putting in the work & I'm the one making changes & choices, I still feel that I owe a lot of my success & drive to you. Your constant motivation, friendly advice, dedication, & "get back up" attitude was exactly what I needed to make some healthy changes.

As you step on the scale on Saturday, remember that no matter what it says, you've achieved much, much more than a number. I am confident that you will make that 100lb mark, but if for some reason you do not, remember that you've inspired nearly 1,000 people.. Some of them looking to get fit.. & some of them needing a change to save their lives. You are an amazing person with so much to be proud of & when I said your daughter is going to be proud to brag about you, I meant it. You've become a phenomenal role model for not only your followers on Facebook, but your mom & your daughter, too. A journey that started out as a personal journey to get yourself healthy has spread to other states & countries.. All people looking up to you & you deserve every last bit of it. Im excited & anxious for Saturday & I'm so proud of you. ♥


I would be nothing without the support of my friends and family. While Amy has been there since the very first pound cheering me on, I appreciate every single one of you on this journey with me!!! This is not a journey you can take alone and I am blessed to say that I have gained a tribe trecking right along with me!!! BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF!

The zoot suits have had a tough time in their Rolex replica existence during 1942 as they were banned by the Federal War Production Board. They ban was initiated since they thought the Replica Watches UK suits were wasteful of fabric. Following this, in 1943 the zoot suit riot erupted in Los Angeles and this made the Breitling Replica style very popular among Mexican- American youths. But they received harsh reaction. The soldiers and Rolex Replica sailors started beating up people wearing the suits in areas of East Los Angeles, which was the heart of the Latino community. Even the African-Americans and Filipino Americans were also not spared.
