Weigh day and a REAL Friday :)
Happy Friday, Buddies 
Well, I went back to the gym lastnight and got over 5 miles in! I felt so great while I was doing it, keeping my breathing right and REALLY working up a sweat and drinking my water all the while. I make sure that I dont HOLD ON to the machines and keep my arms pumping, except every so often checking my heart rate. Then I got home and showered and I was BEAT! It is amazing how it makes me feel. I can’t believe I waited so long to get physical. The important thing is I have done it now and I am NOT looking back. This is my second full week and I am going back tonight with Jeff I see people at the gym who are in a place similar to me a year ago. I have this overwhelming urge to go up to them, to reach out, to tell them what I found. But then I don’t. people may get offended or think I am a whackadoo or bragging rather than relating to them. I will NEVER do it but i get this feeling like I MUST but then I just swallow it. I think to myself, “Ooo, please don’t let them give up on themselves, let her keep coming and working on herself and her health, please.” what if I would have given up? What if I would have said this is too much work, I am not worth it? For the bajillionth time? Thank goodness I didn’t cause I am aCOMPLETELY different person now. I weighed in today at 182 with TOM in full force. I feel good about this considering the highest the scale showed me this week was 190… I mean, an 8 pound spread? Seriously? I am SOOO getting to my 3 pound loss goal of 178 by December 15 so I can say, on my 30th birthday, that I have LOST 100 pounds I WILL keep this running thing up and I WILL do IT ! ! ! I have this weekend off so it is a REAL Friday for me and this makes me sooo HAPPY. I am feeling almost all better, with just some coughing and nose blowing here and there, the sun is shining, it is in the 70s and will eb ALL weekend and I am LOVING life — and I hope u r all too! Enjoy your weekend and make good choices ~~~ XoXoXo

YOU ARE AMAZING!
!!!!!!!!
Yes, I always wondered why you wouldn’t work out sooner but that doesn’t matter now because you are doing it.
oh the sun is shining and its in the 70’s! well I say pfffffft to that LOL. No seriously, you are awesome Becky and you have all the reasons to be proud of yourself and feeling good about yourself. I had the same thing with the working out. You feel so good afterwards, the high is so great that I too have been wondering why I haven’t started this sooner and why not everyone is doing this lol. 100lbs is AMAZINGG like holy crap! You are an inspiration!
I think it is mainly because I was still under the mindset that it was going to HURT. Moving my 278 pound body HURT and especially extra physical activity. I mean, just getting up out of a chair caused me pain, ya know? I dunno, whatever it was that kept me from getting physical, that is in the past and I am moving on gals! Thanks for all of your love and support !
Great job! You’re an inspiration. Maybe one day you can be a motivation coach or something, then you can give those people all the support and encouragement without it being unsolicited.
Aw, I love happy blogs! So happy to hear that you’re happy & back in motion again! You go girl!
5 miles is great!
I often feel the need to reach out and help people…even people I see in the halls at my school. I know I hated being overweight/obese and it made me sad…so I want to reach out to them and tell them about free online sites ect. and how they can make little changes…but I am too shy to!
I also want to get my mom to make changes, but she doesn’t…
Wow you are such a compassionate person!
I can see how it would be difficult to reach out to someone that way because you never really know where someone is at and weight can be a touchy topic but at least you are there and open to share your story and that’s awsome!!!
with TOM??? That is like a loss!
I have wanted to approach this lady I see working out at night when I do just b/c we could be buddies and encourage eachother!
Hey you and me should cross into that 169 and I will celebrate, if it’s you or me BUT you a little more b/c it will be the big 1-0-0.
You go girl!!! AWESOME…
