I would just like to take a minute to give a shout out and thank you to my fat. I was thinking about how much I love the after exercise feeling and that if I was never fat I would never have enjoyed that so much. Gaining weight during pregnancy and then never losing it has opened my eyes to so many new things. If I never gained the weight then I would never have started working out, which then I probably would never wanted to challenge myself to doing a triathlon, and I wouldn't be trying to fill my days with active activities with the family.
On Monday in between study breaks, Andy came home and told me I could go and exercise. I was about to go and then I told him that we should all go together. We headed down the .53 of a mile road to the walking park on the lake. It was so beautiful and we were together doing something to benefit our health. Andy is currently training for a marathon so he of course did double the work at double the speed, but still it was so much fun.
So yeah, it got me thinking that in some weird way I should be grateful for my fat, although it has caused me more heartache than joy, I am trying to be optimistic.

I have so many things to say to you, about how much I appreciate your hard work, that you have a good attitude about something that can be very discouraging and that you look in the latest picture like it is paying off. But I think the most important thing I can say is that it takes a lot of courage to put yourself out in front of people and talk about something publicly that most people would find an embarrassingly private thing. A lot of people never try to change something about themselves and will even avoid talking about it, but not our Shay. You are admitting to everyone that you want to improve and now you are doing something about it. Way to go girlfriend! I'm proud of you!!!!
