Today was a fantastic day! Just knowing that soon we will be home gave me a much needed push and my workouts ROCKED! These last few days are bringing out many emotions. We are of course happy, but I am also a bit sentimental in that this place is where I turned my life around. I could not help but think today of when I first started working out here. I was so scared that I would not succeed. I was afraid of letting down not only myself but my husband and all who believed in me. I took things day by day and now 3 years later I do not recognize the girl who first arrived here, so heavy and out of shape. I am so proud that I did it, I made the most of my time here! It is a feeling that is hard to describe but one that I pray I never forget.
