Just a little kick in the pants for ya. I'm about to start my first workout today. I'm sure I'll need my own kick eventually.

Ha! Yes, thank you. Perspective! And you put it so succinctly. You're right, I'm getting stronger by the week. That's not nothing.

That chocolate bar sounds marvelous and really making me wish I had something like that handy. I, too, have been having sleeping issues and finding it damn-near impossible to not eat everything in sight. Add in this disgusting stomach bug I've been fighting the last couple days and I feel like a train wreck.

The chocolate bar is great - dark chocolate, not too bitter. Just a square will do ya.
I'm sorry you have the stomach bug! I caught it in early January and it was NASTY. I pretty much thought I was going to die, alone, and that my cats were going to eat my face. So my sympathies are with you, 100%.

What I've known has been priceless lessons-good and bad, but it's my unknown potential that keeps me going and I think I needed that reminder to start appreciating what could be instead of focusing on what was.

Yes, I think that's true for me, too. I've always been the kind of person who welcomes change as an opportunity to grow, see new things, etc. The unknown for me is that tight, fit body, and that's what I keep reaching for.
Because really, in this case, the unknown is whatever you make it. You can have whatever you want, whatever you make.
Whew. Powerful!
