A Contest Ends, but the Journey Continues

Well first off I am sorry that I have not been blogging. I have had a lot going on these past few weeks. I have had some injuries and sickness that just would on go away. Before I start I want to say that I am so proud of my friend Cara. She took home the first prize in the Biggest Winner Contest. Congrats Cara I am proud of you! I also want to take the time to say that it has meant so much that she came out to work out and support me on Sundays. Now on to the results. I ended the contest losing a total of 25 pounds. Not where I wanted to be when it was over, but I am down and I will take what I have learned and continue to go down from here on out. I am proud of all I have done. There is so much that I can do today that I could not do 12 weeks ago. I could not even stand up for any length of time 12 weeks ago and now I can stand. I was sitting in a chair when this started and was worried I would never get out of it. Now I can go through an entire hour long boot camp without that chair. Although I need it when I am done (thanks Kristen and I really mean that)! I am stronger and feel better, and now I know that I can do do it, and that I am worth it. Kristen and Kevin thank you so much for giving me this chance to take back control over my life and have me see that I am so worth getting healthy. So with that said I will be staying on the road of my journey until the finish line. I have a long way to go, but I know that I can do it and I will. Thank you to everyone who supported me in any way. To my biggest loser contestants, you guys were the rock for me. Thank you. I feel so glad to have gotten to know each of you. Please don't lose touch. And now congrats to Josh the winner you look great and deserve it. I also want to say congrats to Jennie for second place and Robert for third. You guys all deserve it and I am proud of you all. With that said I will try to update my continued progress on this journey as often as I can. Just know that if I can do this anyone can. Thanks again everyone.
