Day 50.... Did I make it?

   I have been quiet on this blog for a while!  So sorry, life got a little crazy busy and I totally put posting on the back burner!  

I can't believe it's been 50 days, it has really FELT like 50 days but now that it's here it did go by fast.  So the answer is...... yes, I made it.  I actually made it last week on wednesday and then ended up with the worst stomach flu of the century!  On wednesday morning I hit 15 lbs loss in 50 days, then over the next 2 days of stomach flu I lost another 5! And I thought at 15 I had NOTHING left in me, who knew I had another 5???? 

I've spent the last 2 days rebuilding some of that water loss and what it has taught me: 

My body, OUR bodies do NOT like to function without food or water! And when you go from eating really low calorie highly nutritious food to nothing and no appetite, you kind of miss how nicely your body functions on those kinds of foods.  

I know it is going to take some time to get my gut back in order, get my energy level back and to feel really really good, but boy does food and water make a difference people!  I am so glad that I don't have the desire to but junk into my body.  And to think I use to be sick like this quite often, now I rarely get sick.  Treat your body well and it will serve you well - that's what I have learned!

I hope some of you were able to hang with it for the full 50 days!  I know I have spoken with a few of you in person and you are doing great.  Very proud of you!

I want to say I am super proud of some people that have recently decided to take a huge step towards changing their life.  Laura and Mary, you inspire me and I am excited to see your journey unfold.  You will remember this for the rest of your life.  

Jay and Kelly my trainers and dear friends...... thank you for all the added support and for motivating and encouraging me.  These last 3 weeks pretty hard,  would not have been able to get through without your strength! Thank you! 

My friends and family, you all motivate me everyday, with kind words, texts and hugs, thank you....

My sweet husband, gosh I love you and don't know what I would do without you.  You are my everything.  Thank you for sharing my passion and for doing these last 50 days with me, YOU inspire me.  Love you! 

....... on to the next chapter and next challenge........ what will it be????
