Those are the words my mother would say to me when we went up to the school to get my uniform for the new school year. As a matter of fact, I can still remember looking inside the new pants for a label with a number on it. Instead, the label just read: "HUSKY." Not sure what genius came up with that idea. Sheesh...fourth grade was rough!
Today was an awesome day! I grabbed a hold of my desire to lose 30 before I turn 30. I feel motivated and determined to make it happen.
My goal today was to get to the gym for an hour before I went home tonight, but my last appointment went a bit long and I was not able to leave until after 6 p.m. However, I wasn't going to let that stand in my way of getting some exercise in today.
I got home, ate dinner and helped get the kiddos in the bath. Then I put on my running shoes and my shuffle and hit the pavement. I was pumped. I was having a great run. And then, toward the end of my run, I came upon the hill of death - Firethorne. The hill conquered me today, but one day I will reign victorious on its summit!
