I can’t believe it’s May!
So much has happened in the last year and so much lies ahead. Since last May, I completed graduate school,
adding two Master’s degrees to my name, and started my first “adult” job. My love, the scientist, passed his candidacy exam and
is preparing for a first author publication (so exciting). We got engaged (and planned a
wedding)!!!! We travelled to see family,
we hosted our first Thanksgiving, and we managed some significant losses (read
major stressors). It has been quite the
adventure.
Through all of this, I decided to take the steps necessary
to become a healthier person. At times I
have wanted to see results faster, but I am working on being gentle with myself
and am proud of my slow and steady progress.
In the past eight months I have lost 30 pounds. Now that I am getting
a handle on what works for me and have built the confidence that I can continue
in my weight loss journey, I want to share my experiences and adventures with
others. I’m not a fitness professional,
but I know social support is a key factor in everything we do! I couldn’t have accomplished the first 30,
without the loving support of my family and through the ideas that so many
other bloggers have shared! THANK YOU
ALL!!! This is my journey and an ongoing
process. I have not reached the finished
line, but I invite you to join me as I keep pushing forward on my quest for overall health, fun adventures, and improved fitness.
For so many of us, one year can bring major changes and big accomplishments. What is something that you have accomplished, since last May?
