I have a long road ahead and am looking for cheerleaders! I have never felt more committed to making weight loss my mission...it has become almost a full time job for me. Fortunately I don't work, so I have plenty of time. My mantra is: 2014 IS MY YEAR!!! I began using my treadmill in mid Jan or so and decided after a week or two that I wanted to try jogging on it. Biggest Loser had just ended. I thought if THEY can run, then so can I!!! Bad idea. I'm completing my first month of physical therapy for bursitis in my knee. I was devaststed when I hit this roadblock because as most of you know, weight loss is a big head game, and my head was finally in the right place, and now this. I work hard on my therapy(shout out to Brad and Danielle!!!) and push myself daily. I have a husband and 2 children, 18 and 14, whom I feel I have limited in everything we do, from what kind of vacation we do to where we sit in a restaurant and beyond. I feel sad for letting them down. And I'm angry for letting MYSELF be so limited!! My son goes off to college(Clemson...GO TIGERS!!) in the fall, and I am DETERMINED to help him move in without dying walking from the car or up the stairs! I am tired of being a passenger in my life. THIS IS MY YEAR!! I'm down 18 lbs. so far...12 lbs away from my first goal I set. There will be many more after that. Baby steps. I get very emotional through this process and cry often, even on the treadmill. I don't mind. It's a good release! But the biggest struggle is keeping my window open and my head in the right place, through set-backs and all. Which has led me to this very unorganized post! LOL So, if anyone out there wants to join me, please feel free to reply 🙂 I need all the help I can get!!!! Thanks
