When I began this blog about three years ago now, my ultimate goal was to join the Army, lose the weight and get in. Well that happened, and since I've been here in Colorado, I've been missing something big, I've been missing having a goal! My focus has been SO much on forgetting Colin, that I've forgotten about myself!
This morning I was cruising Facebook and found a picture of me, my senior year of college. Wow. I was 266 pounds and so unhealthy. With how far I've come I thought about that John Wooden quote "life's not about the destination, but about the journey." Well, my journey was the Army. It wasn't always easy but I got in. My journey ended....or did it?
NOPE! I realized it has just begun! This new path I'm on is going to involve a lot more than simply one goal. My new destination, is to be happy. A big part of that is refocusing on my health. When I eat right, when I workout, and when I focus on me, and not the world around me, I'm content with life!
After finding my picture, I went out and bought myself a new pair of running shoes (it's been over a year.) When I got home, I found my running pants, my "Get Lucky 7k" running sweatshirt and put my feet to the pavement!! I didn't go far, maybe a couple miles, but I went. And after all "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!" (I know, I'm full of the best quotes...)
So this is the start of another journey. Another life...one that focus' on me and my happiness. One where I'll thrive for me, succeed for me, love for me, and really starting to live life to simply be happy. What happens tomorrow will happen, and I can't control it.
I'm starting to realize life goes on after heartbreak. Not only does it go on, it gets better, much better. I get to wake up tomorrow and live this life all over again, and I'm going to do it as if Monday's not gonna come!
