Sweeet2th's Journal, 12 October 2014

Well, it's official, Folks... I've reached my ideal goal weight! 71 lbs lost, and I've gained so much; self-confidence, boundless energy, and a joy for life that I couldn't have imagined was possible. And most importantly, I'm the healthiest I've ever been - inside and out! All of my health problems have completely vanished and I'm excited to share the knowledge I've gained with others who want to change their life! I'll be launching my health coaching business soon, and I can't wait to help people! You kind people have helped me a lot along the way as well and I thank you!
This milestone really couldn't have come at a better time. My 40th birthday is only 5 day away, and I can do things I couldn't do when I was 21. I'm ringing in this new birth year with running a half-marathon next weekend and I couldn't be more proud to tell the world I'm FORTY. I feel like that Molly Shannon Saturday Night Live character, Sally O'Malley, who likes to "kick, stretch, and kick 'cuz she's 50... 50 years old."
Well, my gorgeous friends, I must get going here. I have a TEN mile training run to complete today and those miles aren't going to run themselves!
Go make this day extraordinary! You deserve it!

Contratulations! Love this. Thanks for sharing this. I am not feeling so enthusiastic about my own progress. I thought 135 was the ideal weight for me (5'7") and now I think it's 125, possibly 120. I put 120 in as new goal weight and instead of having three pounds to go, I now have 18. Ugh.

BTW what I meant above was that your accomplishment gave me an extra push, not raining on your parade! I think it reads that way. And also, love that you referenced Sally O'Malley.

Thats great news! Thanks for sharing it is a great motivation for me. My birthday is coming up soon and I hope to be in my 130's by then. I haven't been that weight since college.

You are an inspiration! You'll make an excellent health and wellness coach. I would never want someone who hadn't personally gone through such a journey to coach me through it. Happy 40th and rock that half-marathon!

Definitely terrific that you are expanding your horizons and venturing into a new area. As a cell biologist you have some credentials. Just a question. If I were a potential client what are your credentials for this new job? I'm supporting you 100% just a asking a question I get in my little business. Had to answer that question yesterday.
