Melissa, thank you so much for your comments.  You have no idea how much the support means to me!  Thank you!!  :O)

Today was a better day.  I'm just staying focused on the prize.  Maya even got in on the walking action.  She walked a mile with me and Chase tonight.  It's fun to get the kids involved too.

I just realized that I can post pictures in the middle of my blogs, so you'll start seeing pictures of me and my family's adventures.  There's a picture from Disneyland uploaded to day 26-28 recap.

Thank you again Melissa for taking the time to express your comments!  I hope that you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Day Thirty

This day ran over me a little.  It was difficult going back to the office, but I was looking forward to going to the gym.  Unfortunately, there must have been a schedule change because boot camp was canceled for the night.  I worked out anyway, but I missed the intensity of the boot camp workout and now I'm impatiently waiting for Wednesday night. 

I was feeling a little blue, but I talked to Dan and he made me feel better.  Sometimes, the task of making life and career changes seems huge, but I can do it.  I just need to keep moving forward one small meal, workout, and project at a time.  In the end it will be a great accomplishment.

Thank you for your support and love!

It's been a wonderful few days.  The family and I went to Disneyland and had a great time.  The drawback is that we ate out for every meal and my workouts definitely suffered on my two travel days.  All I can say is no more dessert.  The positive side on my eating is that Maya and I shared every meal, and we never cleaned the plate.  I'm back and ready to get back at it!  I hope that you all have a wonderful week!

Yesterday was great.  It was so nice outside.  Dan and I took Chase for a walk in the morning, then we played with the kids at the park, and Chase and I laid out in the yard while Dan and Murdock went to the hardware store.  :O)  The sun was shining bright.  I felt like a turtle on a hot rock in a pond.  Awesome!
