Just finishing day 8

[jlyn]

I am so amazed at how great I feel! My energy has skyrocketed. I have joined several exercise challenges, and I have had fun doing the challenges. My kids are so proud of me. Everyday they tell me good job mom! I am moving toward taking my life back... for so long I have been absent from family pics and have avoided doing fun things like riding on rides in the amusement parks because I am afraid the seat belts or bar won't fit... My kids have asked me countless times to jump on the trampoline with them in our back yard and I don't because I simply haven't had the energy and to be honest I am just too embarrassed. I have not put on a pair of shorts in years. My children are all 3 active in sports and they make the softball, baseball, and basketball traveling teams. Over the summer we travel with the softball and baseball teams. It gets so hot, and there I am in my jeans because I do not have the confidence to wear shorts. Next summer I plan on being free from all of this!!! I am going to fight my way back to me!!!

Jlyn,

I can tell by the tone of your post that you are really feeling great. Being able to fully enjoy being with your kids is an awesome motivator.

Maybe you can be creative with them and find some kind of exercise (like line dancing, swimming or whatever) that ya'll can all do together. Makes it a lot more fun!!

Keep up the good work and keep your great positive attitude!!

Pam
