Spring is in the air!

Spring is here! Whoo-hoo!!!

I am so excited that we got a taste of Spring today. I am soooooooo over the cold weather and the last week of March was not easy! I was a happy camper driving around town today with my windows rolled down and my left arm sticking out feeling the breeze. Ahhhhhhhhh! It’s the little things that bring me so much joy.

Well like Elena mentioned, we are down to the wire – 6 weeks to go. These 6 weeks are going to fly by. I’m feeling the pressure man. It’s a bittersweet feeling. I am so proud of the progress I’ve made since starting on December 1st but at the same time extremely worried about not being ready in time. All I can do is push on and take it day-by-day. This journey has required a ton of time, dedication and sacrifice. Every challenge has been worth it when it’s shopping time and buying smaller sizes. I am excited to see where I end up when this journey is over. We all need a good kick in the ass and concrete goals to keep us motivated and this has certainly fit the bill.

I came across this quote recently which has really struck me and is so powerful to me. It’s so simple but oh so true. “IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE, THEN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.” If we want change in our lives, we gotta work for it. Like Dre says, you gotta have a made-up mind.

See you in class,
