OH MY GOSH!! I know, I know...it takes two weeks to post a blog then you get two posts in two days! Crazy!
I have not had the best of weeks. I've had some issues that I'd rather not discuss on my blog, it's, as some people might say not a diet journey but a life journey, but some parts of life just don't deserve the credit of showing up on here. Suffice it to say, I've ended some of the negativity in my life, and while that should ultimately be a good thing...it's difficult to dissolve a relationship that's been so close for 15 years. Enough of that, on to better things!
Today, however, I had weigh in--my last appointment in the transition to maintenance phase of the program and now I just go for a weekly injection and monthly maintenance appointment. As I blogged about yesterday, I've also been working out like crazy. Keeping in mind that muscle weighs more than fat...here it comes....I gained. At least I gained in maintenance and I know exactly why. I gained a pound, but I also lost 1% body fat in the past week. I think I'll take it. There's definitely a difference in the toning that even I can see! Two days this week I've been shopping and I wear a size small in shirts and either a 2 or 4 in Misses pants, or a 3 or 5 in Juniors....I'll buy that ALL DAY LONG!
Anyway, that's not all that happened today. After the weigh-in and being "okay" with the gain, I received an email from Michael at Dr. Garcia's office that the link to my video was on YouTube and ran out to watch it as soon as I got home from the mall.
I was absolutely thrilled with the video. It's really hard to see myself transition from the person in the photos in the beginning to the person in the end of that video. Funny enough, yesterday I posted about people expressing more of an 'interest' in me now than maybe prior to the program, remember? Well, today, I was talking to my work counterpart in Orlando who said, because, sometimes Kyle is my voice of reason....ya know, if you were happy with your look before you wouldn't have done what you did. So, does that make you superficial, too? Alrighty then...guess he has a point. So, that will be the end of that topic of discussion!
Here is the link to the YouTube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghV_YBG1aeU
You'll probably have to copy/paste it into your browser, I couldn't get Blogger to show it as a link....sorry!
I'd love for you to take the time to watch it if you're so inclined. As well, if you do watch it, please rate the video for Dr. Garcia's office. Michael did an amazing job putting it all together. I so look forward to the work that I'll be doing with them on this and on any initiative they can use my help in.
They are doing a Back to School event that will incorporate healthy eating for kids and I've offered to be a part of that. Those of you who are reading this that are my Junior League of Greater New Haven friends...think Kids In The Kitchen! LOVE IT! From a girl who loves to cook, loves kids and wants to now help them focus on eating healthy so they never have to do all this, it's going to turn into my new passion! I'm so excited tonight and in such a good mood I can hardly stand myself!
In closing, I challenge each of you to find your passion...and learn to live it!
“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” Mitch Albom
And since there was no quote in the last post, we'll end with this:
“Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.”
