Fired Up | Week 13 Weight Loss -73lbs

April 4, 2017

I have an Instagram channel that I have been cultivating for a little while, and surprisingly my followers are some of those most supportive around. I get some of the nicest comments although now and then I get a real jerk.

Funny story today, though. I did my usual update, and I received a private message from another company that wanted me to be a brand ambassador.  Now, I didn’t start any of this for company repping or anything of the sort, but they are fun to get I must admit. Today’s private message was about supplements. *sigh*… I’m not a big fan of supplements for various reasons. I don’t like pills and powders; more so because I would forget to take them.

 I explained this to her, and her response was…..“Just take them for a day! You’ll get free PR for your blog, and it will help drive sales of our product”. As I pondered this for a moment, I couldn’t help but bust out laughing because this was the only thing running through my head:

*still laughing*……. *wiping running mascara from under my eyes*.

((laughing)).  Ehhh hum….

So. I’ve got that boot camp coming up Thursday. I guess I’ve worked through the anxiety of it all, but I wonder whether I will be able to keep up.  It is a funny thing to be nervous about right? I watch too many movies I guess, and Full Metal Jacket was one of them *giggles*. My trainer said it wasn’t like “boot camp, ” but that vision does swirl around up there.  See? That’s what happens. When you don’t know what to expect, your brain fills in the blanks. *smirk*. 

I’m going to tape my knees and ankles – throw on a smile and show up. Because that’s what life is all about; showing up.  Face the things that make you uncomfortable.  Who knows? Maybe I will love it.
