Butterfly30's Journal, 12 May 2009

Motto~ "When the going gets tough; the tough get going" I am tough and thanking God everyday for this inner strength! Someone once told me you have to have a vision first in order to see where you are going! I am not only fighting this fight of weight control and loss for myself but, also for my family and the future children that I dream of having someday! I can almost see my little bundles of joy faces and hear them laugh...Sometimes I can even envision seeing them running and playing! This is the dream that keeps me fighting...This is the hope that keeps my heart and eyes set on the prize, the prize being my future! I want to live! I will be 30 soon and most of my 20s was spent on self-discovery and lack of appreciation for life. Now I embrace the life that I have been blessed with, as it is so brief and short! Therefore, my 30s will be great and the best is yet to come.

Now, I have two very close and personal girlfriends. We are all turning 30 this year! I am so grateful for their friendship and support. Before my workouts, they are always cheering me on and giving me pep talks. I feel like Rocky before a big fight. LOL They say things like “remember why you are doing this and keep your head in the game.” Focus! Do not look at what you see now; see what is in the future! I love my gals and I am blessed to have them on this journey with me...Smooches to my chicas! Mauh!!!

I'm 34 and my 30s have been fabulous, so enjoy them! Also, I'm Kentucky and when horses are racing they put on blinders, so I say to you the same thing, keep your blinders on, focus on your race and you will see the finish line coming up fast! I truly believe this! You can do anything and everything that you believe you can! So, let's get it!

You know Shia34 I am truly looking forward to my 30s! I really feel like it is a coming of age! I take less crap that's for sure! LOL Thank you for that horse simile. I love horses so the next time I take a drive in the country and watch them run, I will remember to keep my blinders on.:D Thanks a bunch!

Haha Jadenby thanks! I don't know about “great attitude”...I cry and call the waabulance on myself all the time (just ask Bad...Andee). LOL It is hard; however, I understand that it is a difficult and a very emotional rollercoaster (which I do not like rollercoaster at all; they make me nauseated haha much like the gym at times) but I realize that if I want something that does not come easy; I have got to fight for it!! SO BRING ON THE BATTLE BABY... :D heehee

Beside that I choose to tell the raw truth about this experience in the hope that my story will inspire others and keep my heart encouraged as well! I also, hope that we all can share our laughter, tears, highs and lows of this journey. As my motto says "WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH; THE TOUGH GET GOING" Don't you just love that Billy Ocean song LOL. He was so cool in the 80s LOL

The 30s are totally the best years (so far, that is). You know who you are and you don't worry so much about what everyone thinks. Billy Ocean--haha. Have that song in my head now.
