Meet and Greet

Today was a great day . I always love sundays. Today was a little extra great. The sun was shining and so was I.
I finally met the team. It was great to put faces with names. What a great bunch. Ten ladies ready to jump into the unknown. So proud of everyone. I was a little disapointed with myself. We all had to speak up and say a little something about ourselves. I normally have no problem speaking in front of a group. Most times you cant shut me up!!!! Today I got a little emotional. Dang! I wish I were a little bit stronger. As I sit here and think ....why did I get emotional???? I think it is apart of the process with me. I have to let go of the past. I have to let go of the weakness. Away with you............

It has been 3 hours since the meeting and the excitement is still trickling through me. I keep finding myself daydreaming. I picture myself on the course, biking, sweating and swatting at flies. If I looked in the mirror(while daydreaming) I would imagine there would be a big smile on my face. There is one in my heart. I honestly havnt felt this way in a long time. I am so proud of myself. I am so proud of what is to come. Next Saturday can not come soon enough.

I will attempt my first run (in 6 months) tommorrow. I cant wait to run . Before today I dreaded the run. Already I am empowered! As the lady with the beautiful eyes who was taping us today said........"There is power within this group of Ten women." I feel it already .

Today was so great for me. All of this is so great.

  5. First I'd like to say "thank you" for getting emotional... I think we were all feeling it and you helped us feel it even more with your amazing story.
    It was great hearing the different stories from everyone it helped to remind us that we all have our own special reasons for being picked for this challenge.
    Keep Smiling

  6. Keri, wish I could have been there to hear you speak, you always inspire me with your beautiful words that come from the heart and soul of who you are. Remember that your past and what you call your weakness is what made you who you are today, and you are perfect just the way you are. I have always known how strong you are, this challenge will help you show the rest of the world the Keri that I know. I am looking forward to following you and encouranging you on this blog. I love you and have always been so very proud of you.
