It's over......but it has only begun


Tomorrow, Otto, Amy and I are working out. I've taken it easy that last few days, and I have to tell you, I FEEL LIKE CRAP! I am not going back to my old lifestyle, that is for sure!


Wednesday night was great.....CONGRATULATIONS TO ZAC! I am soooo proud of him and Missy and Kristen. WE DID IT! We proved what hard work and mental toughness can do. Todd we missed you, I wish you would have still come!


I was appreciative of all the wonderful comments. I dressed up for the occasion. I don't think anyone has seen me in anything but sweaty gym clothes at the end of the day. There were a lot of surprised faces and a lot of really great comments on how I look now. It made me feel really good!


I can't thank my BFF OTTO enough for the CHANGE that has happened in my life because of him. He was there to lift me spirits up when I wanted to quit. Yes, there were times that I had enough. Working two jobs, family life, stress it all worked on me. The one constant I had in my life this last 12 weeks was OTTO encouraging me "Come on Mamma...show me..you can do it..show um what you are made of". I remember when he first had me looking in the mirror at myself. I didn't like it. I didn't want to look. I then started to see muscle and it was a shock to see my body transforming. He boosted my confidence, showed me what I could do and taught me to try what I thought might be too hard. He pushed me just enough when I needed it. He knew when I needed to vent and would take the time to sit and listen and talk. He carried me when I was feeling at my worst and I will never be able to repay the dedication he gave me. I can only continue to work hard and show him that I am going to keep this up.


Work has been fantastic and I have people asking me to work out with them and to show them what they can do. I'm excited about this.


I gotta get to bed.

xo to all my peeps out there.
