Today I am beginning the start of my 5th year mark of my 5 year plan. What's incredible is how far I have come, and what's even more splendid is that I DID THIS FOR ME! I get so excited when someone asks me about being healthy and fit. Recently, my husband and I went to Thailand. Before we went I had to get my travel shots updated.
The doctor at the clinic was looking at my chart when he said, "You know, you are 5 months older than me, and you look 15 years younger." I was smiling from ear to ear when he said, "and you haven't done anything cosmetically, have you?" I shook my head that I hadn't and then, laughed.
I thanked him and told him everything about me was natural and real to the bone. When he asked me how I stayed so youthful, I couldn't wait to tell him about the five year plan I had made to live a healthier lifestyle. I told him all about strength training and my love of weight training. How I was proud of my age and my transformation. Best of all, I could tell he was excited for me! ha
I told him how he had 'made my day'. Everyone loves a compliment, especially when it is a real one. You know what I mean...genuine and heart felt.
I felt happy! Just like now, when I think about how I have stuck this out....kept the weight off, kept the journals, kept the faith even when it got hard, I feel happy and proud of the person I am and have become.
So, if I seem HAPPY AND HEALTHY....well, it is JULY 22, 2010.....
my 5th year has arrived just like me, promptly! AND IN TWO DAYS I AM 50 years old!
woo hoo!
Hug 2 u! in case someone is sharing my news....
