Happy Birthday to me......hahahahaha....no really it is finally that day!

Today is my birthday -  the big 50! And the last 315 days since I began this blog have been quite the journey. I have learned a lot - although I am not yet at my goal of a size eight. I have released 21 pounds though and I am going to maintain that weight release for awhile and then continue on my journey.  I think I might revise that to a size ten or twelve though! I think I have grown as a person by setting out on this journey to release weight. I have learned much about myself and others. I have done a lot of exercising and done many different types of exercise - Pilates, hiking, bootcamp, Zumba, IntenSATI, cycling, boxing, walking, dancing, swimming, Cardio Disco Jam and treading to name a few. Not to mention doing the Mud Run at Camp Pendleton (I still can't believe I made it to the finish line!), going to the Biggest Loser Resort for three weeks, and most recently swimming with the dolphins in Hawaii. I was able to check off many of my 101 goals this year - including  learning to ballroom dance, learning to meditate, going to The Ellen Show, taking a writing class, watching the sunset at the beach (did that a few times last week in Hawaii!), going to a musical (went to a couple thanks to Donna!), started my big garden to name a few. I can even pretty much tell you what weight training exercise to do for what muscle.I am actually thinking about getting my Personal Training Certificate now.  I've also learned a lot about gardening, grown many vegetables and fruits, tried many new healthy recipes, learned about Chakras, and Atlantean and Animal Healing, read at least 20 books (no lie!). It's quite odd to have a running, public display of the last ten or so months of your life in words on the internet! But someone had to do it!!! LOL!  I sure have had some ups and downs both on the releasing weight front and the living life front. A lot has happened in the since I  began writing this blog - which I WILL continue writing. This has been such an awesome experience for me and I can't wait to see what the next year in store for me and all of my friends and loved ones. I wish us all a year of unconditional love and manifesting all that we want in life! So, on this day - my birthday - I want to thank everyone for their support and love while I have been on this journey!!! :)
