Happy 4th of July

I hope you are having a wonderful day!  I wanted to quickly stop in and wish you a Happy Independence Day.  We started the morning early with a special 60 minute Spin class at the gym.  It was great but boy hubby had to really push me to go today.  I was not feeling too well last night and was really tired this morning but he kept on it and I’m so glad we went.  He even treated me to my favorite Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie.

Nicole, our spin instructor made up an awesome CD last night with all songs that had to do with America, 4th of July, Independence Day, etc.  It was amazing!  She did a fabulous job, go Nicole.

I also wanted to use this post to give thanks and kudos to a few people.

Cindy from Go Workout Mom is celebrating her 1st blog birthday today (Congrats and Happy Birthday, Cindy) and is asking her readers who they want to thank for helping them in their fitness journey.  There are a lot of people I could thank but it would take up a whole page so I’ll just be posting a few of my biggest supporters.

First, I would like to really thank my hubby, Kevin for being such a big support.  He pushes me when I don’t think I can go any further and has been my rock since I started my new lifestyle in August 2005.  He has been patient with my many food changes, cooking healthy meals for us, measuring out my food portions, helping me fill out my daily food journal and so much more.  Thank you honey, you’re the bomb *wink*

Then there are a few online groups that have meant so much to me and I doubt I would’ve kept going without them.

I am so thankful for the members over at the GR8 Bigg Losers yahoo group and the Weight Loss/Fitness forum at WAHM.com.  They have been my support over the years and help me stay accountable on a daily basis and motivate me to always do better.  I’m so thankful for these online friends of mine.

I also would like to thank a few class instructors from the fitness center we’re members of.  Thanks goes to Nicole (Spin), Lisa, Kara and Chicky (Turbo Kick) and Joanie (Spin).  You ladies really have made an impact on me.  I appreciate the time you dedicate to these classes and the thought you put into them to make them so much fun.

So there you have it, many of my supportive pals. Ya’ll are the best.

Happy 4th of July,
