Emily is feelin' fine!
I was full of (positive) energy, and just felt GOOD.
I don't think I've ever felt so up in my life, especially for no particular reason. It's nice to know I can start having days like today, especially since I had a day of complete doom and gloom last week. (I'm working on being OK with becoming UN-single again...). I attribute most of the energy to exercising more. I started going back to Kung Fu 3 times a week. My mom also recently bought a recumbent bike that I've been jumping on spontaneously.
I joined WW around 2 months ago with my mom and sister, and I've lost 6 lbs so far. I'm ready to take this fight all the way. It's amazing how much I've taken from it. Not only that; I've been speaking up in meetings and people have said that they think of me for inspiration when they need it most. At least 2 people have come up to me and told me that they thought of me or my words of advice when they were in trouble.
I can't tell you how humbling that is. I never thought of myself as someone of consequence, at least not until recently. I know I have good advice to give, but I never actually see my advice in action.
I can't wait to be a nurse.
I'm going to start an inspirational blog, possibly on LJ. If so, I'll post it here. I also may be writing a book.
I'm also going to try to journal here more. I've been kind of letting the days escape me, and I don't want that to happen anymore.
