Earth to Bridgette…last week was rough I had the flu. Being sick is not fun, especially when you have finals and self-employed. Thankfully, my husband nursed me and kept me hydrated and fed. It was tough but I made it through the Self Exploration Paper and staying on top of two real estate closings for this month.

Meanwhile I am looking so forward to the Reveal Show to see my fellow challengers shine. I am up this morning with the new goal of having a plan going into the new year. I am starting it today! Lately I have become obsessed with Dave Ramsey’s “Total Money Makeover”. I am reading his books, listening to the radio show, and visiting the website. It’s quite interesting how the money makeover parallels to weight loss.

This year has proven to be “My Year”. I have learned so much about health and fitness, now I have obtained financial knowledge to change my future forever. If you are familiar with the Total Money Makeover, I am expeditiously trying to  finish Baby Step 1. I will change my family tree with healthier living and financial peace.

It’s been a great year for me and my family. I cannot thank the Subway Challenge enough for giving me the tools and resources to correct my steps. The extra layer of confidence obtained through this challenge has been phenomenal. I going into the new year a changed woman. I am very committed to my new lifestyle and welcome the obstacles, because I am geared up to handling it and move on.

Hello World!

The final weigh in was a dynamic event for all challengers. We were able to discuss our strengths,  weakness, and exchange helpful advice. The journey has been sweet and so much knowledge has been gained. I am so excited about the days to come and my new found lifestyle.

My Thanksgiving holiday was Great! I relaxed and shut down most technology and phone. I enjoyed my family and did not overeat at all. My husband promised the family a Wii, and my sweet mother-in-law pointed out the after Thanksgiving sale at Sam’s for the purchase. We got up at 5:00 a.m. and off we went, no lines or chaos, went up to the register and purchased the Wii. This is our early family Christmas gift. 

Played the Wii tonight, bowled like no other. So excited for the holidays and school break. I am working on final papers this week, so I will stay focused and exercise to relieve stress.

Looking forward to Dec 5th PT test at Piedmont….

Thanks everybody for the support!
