Let's just pause and appreciate how amazing I am!

I thought my head was big before, hitting a loss of 30 pounds yesterday, and my ego is just through the roof!  I am 190 lbs, and I hope to break the 180's soon!!!!

I thought that with each pound I lost it would be a lot more exciting though.  It's not.  Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with my success, but where is my party?  Why aren't people celebrating my huge milestones???  Oh yeah, this isn't tv.  It's too bad, maybe a few balloons and some party horns might make it seem a bit more of a big deal.  Maybe I should video tape the weigh in, or the trying on of all my clothes in my closet that are too big, and make my own soundtrack.  Then I can watch it over and over again and really celebrate!

Fine, I'll just go buy myself something pretty, that fits, to celebrate instead!

I did have a bit of a tv moment at one of my games last week.  I was in the corner at the opposing net when time stopped.  No one moved....it was so quiet...you could hear the clock ticking.  As I was standing there with the ball it really was like time stood still and I had a moment of clarity....something I don't get much in a game.  It was just me and the ball, and one girl defending me.  I thought long and hard and I made my move.  I took a fake kick..... the defender ran the other way and I took a shot on net......and totally missed!  But it was one hell of a moment in time for me.  The girls on the bench were laughing their asses off.  They couldn't believe that I had pulled off that move.  To be honest, I was a bit of a panicky player before, and for me to make a move like that and have it work, well I had to laugh too!  I did the same move against my coach the week before and burnt her - she was shocked!  She's been there to watch me play from the start - so it was a bit of a surprise that after only a few seasons, I could burn around her!

It's hard to believe the person I was once has changed into the person I am today.  I have my bad days, but for the most part, I am happy, healthy, in love, and so positive about everything.  I never would have thought that I could be this person, strong, a leader, an athlete.  I had a nurse yesterday accuse me of being perfect!  That is not a word that I would use to describe me.  She did feel better after she decided that I was probably vitamin D deficient!  I most likely am.  (Someone should really move me to a warmer climate - I am not meant for this cold.  I should be somewhere warm, with my bikini on, running on the beach.  Well not at the same time.  Me and bikini running.....not yet thanks.  I am still trying not to look like a rabid rottweiler when I run with clothes on!)  I always wanted to be here, in this state of mind, I just wasn't sure it could happen.  I never did want to be an athlete, but now that I am, I wish I would have thought of it sooner!

Yes, I am annoyingly happy.  I've heard that only despair and scandal will get anything you post to go viral, so I am not going there anytime soon.  But that's ok.  I am happy, and I am not going to create shit and drama to get noticed.
