Guess what day it is...
It's Lump Day...WOOT WOOT
It's now almost over but, yes, today marks one year since I found the lump that changed my life. Life changed again and on a much grander scale 11 days later, but we'll relive that nightmare when the time comes. I pushed through today by keeping busy. Cleaning the vehicle, inside and out. Getting the oil changed, working out...trying to beat Bobby on step count (have we mentioned we're a competitive household?) I did not spend the day dwelling on the what I've lost but what I've gained from this whole experience. Who would have thought, a year ago, that I would be busting my butt to get fit or even THINKING about trying to keep up with my 5k, Bourbon Chase, half marathon running, cycling and Krav Maga instructing husband. That I would be getting angry because I'm working out 2 hours a day and my weight loss has slowed (plateaued a couple of times). That I would be out buying heavier weights for my workouts. A year ago, pain would have kept me from working out...easy excuse. These days I hurt all the time but it just ticks me off and makes me keep going. (I didn't say this experience made me any smarter. :-))
I know I sound like a broken record but GET CHECKED and don't wait until you have a life changing event to change your life.
I have an echo scheduled for tomorrow morning so I need to get to sleep. Busy day ahead.
Love to all - really!
Andee
