I am exhausted from the 14 days Group Shred, but I had a great day. I wowed 'em at the hospital. My physical therapist and all the "regulars" in the waiting room, smiled (even the pedi-cab driver congratulated me) when I walked in and out of the office. I had my walker, just in case, but I carried it!
I have not used my walker once today, and I actually took my medication LATE and barely even felt any pain at all.
I am so psyched that I lost six pounds on the shred, and am continuing to eat clean.
In case anyone is curious, I used Weight Watchers online, the Flex plan. I ate the full 21 points they say you are supposed to eat as a MINIMUM most days, but a few days I just wasn't that hungry. I never once used all 35 flex points, but did use some. My first week I used about 17.5 of the 35 and the second week I only used 4.5 of the 35.
I will allow myself to eat up to the full 35 points this week if I feel hungry.
Shorter post today. I think. I may add something after I watch Adam's video.
PS. Just watched Adam's video, and I was smiling and nearly cried. Plus, he looks so cute in his photo with that RTP hoodie. I can't wait to get home and try on mine. Suzette mentioned that in a way it was lucky that I had my injury so I could participate in the shred. She is SO right. I was just thinking that the other day and just now when I was watching Adam's video. I would have really missed out.
This blog is sort of where I let it all hang out. Typos, run-on sentences, tons of grammar errors, my real thoughts, feelings, heck I even let my GUT hang out, but I love writing it. And despite all the professional kudos I may have gotten a long, long, time ago and my fear that I had missed the professional boat I once had a first-class ticket on, I get a compliment from Adam on my WRITING even though the focus is elsewhere here and I love him for it. The part of my career I came to reconnect and rebuild here in the Philippines, but thought I was taking "a break" from by having this blog IS where I have felt the MOST encouragement. And darn it, this group writes some damn fine blogs.
TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY. Change your life. All true.

Way to go Christy! You made it this far, ditching that walker must have felt awesome. Keep truckin' on
CONGRATULATIONS CHRISTY!! I'm just now getting to everyone's blogs and yours is making me emotional. Just love that you ditched that walker. You are looking great and are an inspiration to all of us.

Hi Christy, what an awesome picture, so meaningful and symbolic. I feel that you are well on your way to fulfulling your dreams Christy, whatever they may ultimately be.
Cheers,
Adam
Suzette, it was super cool to walk in without it. And to see the faces on the people in the waiting room! I left my comment on the video (I loved it) in your comments.
Andrew, amazing cyber friend christy. lol Like Spiderman. I may hold off on the throwing of the walker. Since it was a gift, I figured I would donate it to charity.
Lynda, thanks, lady. We'll see how "Hollywood" digs my work when I get back to the States. I'll feel a lot more confident in my meetings being skinny thanks to my shredder counsel friends so I need to get in gear through the end of the year.
Thanks Diane! "Keep moving." I love the way that sounds.
Massimiliano, very, generous words. I love the way you write. I love accents.
Thanks Raiden. Keep truckin', too!
Debbie, Thank you. I wouldn't have believed it could happen so fast, but thanks to the shredder counsel it did.
Adam! I'm always so happy to see you've posted a comment, and thank you for, once again, being so kind. You're right it is symbolic. It really is.
