Nothing Negative.
First of all, this is going to be one of my many blogs that I will be posting & I’d like to take the time to thank anyone who cares enough to keep updated with my life! :)
So far the summer of 2010 has been the most productive and challenging season of my life so far and it is not over yet. From the very start of my summer I was walking around at my heaviest weight of 222 pounds. One day I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror and asked myself are you satisfied? Obviously not, considering the fact that I looked like a father! I finally took the initiative to start a new active lifestyle and follow through with it and as of July 19, 2010, I now walk around at approximately 185 pounds and it has only been about 40 days. It’s like I gave up being fat for lent or something like that. Although I may seem contempt with my weight, I want to see how much farther I can go and with the pace that I’m going right now, nothing can slow me down. My mind is focused on reaching my goal of being 165-170. So results will come soon enough.
Another significant change to my life, is that I’ve completely stopped doing any type of drugs including alcohol and boy I’ll tell you, it feels so good to be sober and be able to have the strength to finally say no. I’ve actually been thinking of quitting for quite some time now and I have finally followed through with it. I have to admit I had to take a break from some of my friends but only because I did not want to take any risks of temptation, but I have kept them very close since then. I am not against any smokers or drinkers so do not get me wrong.
So far, I am happy with where my life is right now and I will continue to keep pushing forward and never look back on the mistakes that I have made in the past. I have learned to take each and every one of those times and transform them in to life learned lessons. I feel stronger than ever. My motive is to stay positive every single moment of my life even through the roughest times, because I learned that living in the past will never provide a better future for myself. I’m having fun along the way as well and I have be accompanied by new friends and have been supported by old friends as well. So for those of you who have helped me, I’d like to thank you for all that you’ve done and please continue to help me push forward.
