Happy Independence Day

I was walking this morning and a woman I don't know said, "You can do it. Just keep trying." I thanked her for the encouragement and kept walking trying to keep up with my 14 year old. I think a lot of nice people are quietly cheering for others to succeed. I know I do.

Last week, I went to the Nick Hotel in Orlando for one night, two days with a girlfriend and our kids, just for fun as we live an hour away. It took alot for me to get in a swim suit at 235 lbs, but I really wanted to do it for my kids. I always tell them it doesn't matter what other people think of you, and this was my chance to put up...The kids had a blast, and were so happy to see me in the water with them. I spent soooo may hours shadowing my special needs 12 year old (autism) on all the water slides as she couldn't do it alone. Anyways, I got such a work out from climbing the stairs to the top of the slides and getting off the slides was like doing sit ups... I was sore for two days afterwards. LOL I'm so glad we went and enjoyed the moment.

My girlfriend wants me to do Fat Busters detox for the next 9 days with her. I am going to see how it goes. She is great support for me and I want to return the favor too. I feel so good right now because I just finished walking with the kids. I couldn't get hubby to go with us. I've had two 13K days in a row. I hope all my cc buddies are well.
