Hello all! Well, I have no pics for today - unless you want me to stick in some random ones - but I have a lot on my mind and a lot going on in my world...
I have a "friend" on FB who I really admire. I say friend in "quotes" because we have never met...weird, huh?? Anyway, after talking over FB last night about my nasty habit of smoking - yes, Nancy, I'm talking about YOU!!!....I have really realized how gross of a habit it is. I'm on day 3 of no caffeine and I am desperate for a diet coke or a a big GIANT Starbucks but I won't do it! I know, I know....I can get a decaf but what's the point??? And why tempt myself??? So I'm doing without all together.
I digress....back to Nancy...Nancy is a mother of two, helps her hubby with his company, retired cop (hot, huh??), fox hunter, horse rider, animal lover, and now a triathlete!! She is truly an amazing woman! She has become my inspiration for so many changes in my life and we're meeting in person soon and I can hardly wait! It's amazing to me how someone who isn't a part of your every day life can make such an impact.
As I was cleaning a house of a clients today I was thinking to myself "if you could change anything, what would it be?". I would have finished my nursing, check - in the process! I would have never started smoking....it truly is the hardest thing I have ever tried to kick (thank god I've never been addicted to drugs!) and they say it's harder to kick than heroin....can you imagine???
So, with that being said, I am on a quest to lose 75-100 pounds. That's right - I've said it out loud and put it out there! This will not make me "rail thin", "anorexic", "disgustingly thin"...this will make me at the weight I should be. Will I put the number out there? No. Telling you I want to lose 75-100 pounds is a big enough step for me. I've lost 2.5 pounds in the last week and we're now counting down....
Next up?? Another 2.5 pounds and quitting smoking. I can only imagine how "unhappy" those blogs will be..... :)
Thanks to all who support me and read my blog! Be sure to become a "follower"!!
What is your secret? Will it make you feel more free to put it out there??
Be true to you!
Hugs,
Heather
