I can’t believe it is time to say good bye.  What a journey this has been!  I have met so many wonderful people.  My teammates are the best, Marty and Patty and the rest of the staff at TBO have been awesome as well.  Thanks for the extra month!  I have learned so many things.  I have learned that I do not have to be full to be satisfied.  Smaller meals are plenty, especially if they are the right foods.  I have learned to make better choices.  I am now choosing healthier options.  I have been drinking a ton more water.  I have learned how to “grow clothes”.  What a garden it’s turning out to be!  I have learned to trust God when things are tough.  His word says that He will lead us out of temptation, and that all things are possible, through Christ who strengthens us.  These are scriptures that I held on to during this challenge.  This challenge has given me a sense of confidence.  Normally, I do not like to be in the spot light.  Being successful in my weight loss has given me this confidence that I can do anything that I set out to do.  So, if you are like me, and afraid to step out, please give it a try, you never know what could happen!  One of the biggest changes for me is the exercise!  I knew the true meaning of couch potato before the challenge.  I was afraid of exercise.  I now have found bike riding to be fun!  I also enjoy walking.  It is true what they say about finding something that you enjoy.  The best part is that my girls will join me.  This was one of my goals.  I want to set a good, healthy example for my girls.  It was such a great feeling the other day when we were all “suiting up” for a ride!  Momma was proud!  I would like to say thank you to everyone for their prayers and support!  Again to Marty and Patty, my teammates, my family and friends.  My co-workers, even the cafeteria manager would make special lunches for me!  My biggest fan, Jill for her precious encouragement!  My brother and Marianne for introducing me and coaching me in bike riding!  And most of all, God for giving me the courage and strength to do this challenge!
