Wow!

Final BMSW3 workout and weigh-in . . . wow! I'm alive and well! It's purely amazing to think about week 1 and compare it to today, 12 weeks later. A year ago I attended the finale. I remember connecting especially to one person's story. I remember thinking I was thankful I wasn't alone in what I was going through. I was also extremely jealous because I knew I needed this so bad. But I couldn't see how in the world I'd ever be able to work it out with my schedule, let alone live through the experience! I prayed about it off and on, and a year later, applying for BMSW3 became possible, and then a reality. In the first three weeks, I cried probably every night thinking it's just too hard. Everything is just too difficult. But deep down I wanted this soooo bad. With the encouragement of a few people, I kept pushing through. One day at a time. Sometimes one moment at a time. And now, week 12. I don't think I've cried in a month :) Not only am I physically healthier, but I have learned sooooo much more in this short time. I can plan and prioritize better. I have a more positive attitude. "Wow" is the only thing going through my mind today :)
