Final Weigh In

So today was the final weigh in day for our three month competition. I am so happy to say the I lost a total of 17 pounds over the course of this. I feel so awesome about it I can't hardly stand it. I have mixed emotions over this time period being over. I guess I struggle with thinking of it as over. Honestly, I feel like I have just started, so that is how it will be. I will not look at this as an ending, but as a successful beginning to the rest of my life. I have some really good times to look back on. I have been completely honest with myself and how I have been feeling as I have had to go through a difficult process. I feel like I have been able to break through some mental barriers that have been in my way. I got a membership to the Life Time Fitness gym for Shawn's birthday present. I don't know if that is really fair since it is probably mostly for myself. :-) We went last night at a family and on our way home Shawn was saying how much he enjoyed it and how he could see himself turning back into a "Gym Rat" really easily. I feel like it is a great thing we are doing, and I really don't see an end in sight. I still have a lot of weight I would like to lose, so I'm sure I'll still be using this blog as a place to post my feelings along the way. I hope to be better about using my blog in the future. It has been a great place for me to come and reflect. I think I will figure out a way to print my posts so I can put them in some sort of weight loss journal. Well, my lunch hour is over and I must get back to work. :-) So for now...
