Just a Little Happy Update! :)

It's been a few days since I've updated, so I thought I'd share a few things with you! First, I wanted to share that I did get my 30 pound and 40 pound loss beads for my reward bracelet! So, here is a pic to show you how my bracelet is coming along:

Each bead represents 10 pounds loss and each one has a special meaning. If you haven't read my earlier post about my bracelet, the idea actually came from a fellow 3 Fat Chicks forum member! From right to left my beads represent:

• Square with pink panel (10 pounds): Says "Proud Mom" for my two kids!
• Green with pink flowers (20 pounds): For our new life together living in the country!
• Horse Shoe: (30 pounds): This is because at 30 pounds of loss I went horse back riding again!
• Run: (40 pounds): To look at and remind myself that I AM a runner for the 1st time in my life!
• (There are 2 plain spacer beads on this as well, that do not have any meaning whatsoever.)

Speaking of being a runner, I just had to share this photo with you:

From left to right: Me, my friend Hope, and my new friend Courtney! We all met up at the track yesterday for a nice workout! I enjoyed every minute of it, and can't wait to meet these awesome ladies at the track again!

How I met Courtney is actually an awesome story that I just had to share! She and I are both members of the same forum and I had posted about my concern over buying a gown for an upcoming military ball. She shared she had a similar concern and her ball was also in June. Long story short, we found out our husbands are stationed at the same post and we will be attending the same ball! This in itself was very exciting!

Then as fate would have it, we ended up attending the same Military Spouse Appreciation event and she wound up sitting....at my table!! One look  at my name tag had her asking my last name and well...the rest is history!! I'm super excited to have met her, and we look forward to doing amazing things!
