Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! That doesn't even really begin to describe how I felt when the BL 5K episode filmed here in Dallas finally aired. It was so surreal to see myself on the big screen, but at the same time it was so much fun. I am completely honored and flattered that they put so much of "my story" in the episode. My friends and family were there to support me and watch with me. It was so wonderful to have them all there with me. Thank you guys so much - I love you all very much!!! My best friend Christy even had a sign made for me. I love my sign - I've already hung it up in my apartment - what an awesome reminder that I'm loved and have such an awesome support group to cheer me along on my journey. Seeing the episode made me excited and motivated all over again. As of Tuesday (4/27/10) I'm down 34 lbs and 11.5 inches. Accomplishing that makes me want to lose the next 30 lbs! And as if all the wonderful words of encouragement and support weren't enough to keep me on this amazing high I received a message on facebook today from a woman I don't even know in Minnesota telling me that my story inspired her. Wow - I was so flattered and excited. My ultimate goal is to lose the weight, but even more than that I want my journey to inspire others and encourage them to be healthy and happy and feel as amazing as I do. And by the Grace of God I believe that is beginning to happen. Praise God - to HIM be all the glory. God is so good!
I haven't talked to O'Neal since that day, but I really hope he knows what an awesome inspiration he is to me and how that little bit of time I spent with him that day changed me forever and set in motion this awesome journey that I am on.
I love you O'Neal - Thank you!
You go girl! It was great seeing you on TV, and God has certainly opened up an unexpected opportunity for you to help and inspire people!
