Motivation is the key to success!

I had been struggling getting used to my software and my machine, but I found some motivation, and I was able to transcribe the entire test today. Now, it may not be a pass yet, but it's a far cry from the jibber-jabber I had been typing last week. It's a lot cleaner, plus I've had a little time to get a few of my briefs defined in my dictionary.

One thing I haven't been struggling with at all is my fweight loss! I'm 137 pounds as of today! That's down from 160!! And I'm doing it the old-fashioned way, just finally motivated enough to get it done.

133 was my original goal, but as I get closer to that I just want to keep lowering my goal. Perhaps when I graduate I can be a svelte 125 again and wear a beautiful dress to my graduation.

Life is great.

Personally, I'm enjoying every single moment of my freedom and my time spent with my incredible children. I love being just by myself with my kids. Even though I have guys beating down my door, I prefer to shoo them off. I really just love this life. It's every thing I've ever wanted, really. I think this was meant for me. I'm good at it. Too good for just any old idiot within close proximity to be with just out of convenience. I need someone on my level or no one at all. That is a rare find, after all.:)

She looks like a platypus.

Seriously.

It's my birthday

As well as the end of my #18daychallenge.

I did THIS in 18 days! You can too!

Excellent!

I can't believe it, but it looks like I'm actually exceeding the goal I set for myself during my 18 day challenge.

In all aspects of my life right now, I am really doing well.

I've lost 12 pounds since January 31st. TWELVE. Amaze-balls. I only wanted to lose 10 for the whole month.

I've gotten two blue cards in the 200 speed. I only wanted to get one this month.

I have my machine and software up and running, though still tweaking it to my liking.

My cooking skills have definitely risen.

I haven't had any soda or fast food in two weeks.

I'm actually doing it for once, and not just constantly talking about it without action. ;)

I've reached a turning point and I am at the top of my game right now.

Today

I'm going to clean my house.

I'm going to practice at least an hour.

I'm going to learn 10 new briefs.

Then I'm taking Mallory to the movies!

Triumph over Trying

Ever tried SO HARD to do something but still couldn't do it?

Hm?

What's that like? I'm unfamiliar.

Losing weight and feeling great!!

I love this new body! And this is just temporary. Can't wait to see my even NEWER body! Amazing what dedication can do!!
