I would have to say that the highlight of my summer was my 20 year class reunion. I totally enjoyed seeing all my high school friends. It was so fun to see these women (and men)! They have all grown up to be so beautiful! I know that they have all had their own set of trials and struggles, but they are all still the girls I knew from school. We laughed and giggled and loved seeing one another! I think we could have visited all night. I love meeting with people that you have known before and you are able to pick up right where you left off. 20 years have gone by and I am so amazed that while people can physically change they basically stay the same. I am so grateful for such good friends that helped me grow up to be the person that I am today. I do have to pat myself on the back. I have been trying to lose weight - as most people do for their class reunion. My goal was to lose 25 lbs. We joined the gym March 22, 2010 I started running and lifting weights. I didn't think that I was going to be able to ever run again with the terrible knees that I have and I just decided to do it and come what may. When I went to my reunion July 24, 2010 I had lost a total of 29 lbs.
I started small and could barely run the mile. Last Saturday August 7th I ran 5 miles! I never in my life thought or even had the desire to run 5 miles. I don't know where this will take me, but I am going to keep going and if nothing else I will be a healthier me!
