October AJ Challenge 3

Journaling:

Ok, so when we moved here I was very overweight and very depressed due to many circumstances in my life at the time. I promised myself “When I got healthier, I’d hike Exploration Peak Park near our house, but not until it got cooler!” That time never came and I gained more weight until it was obvious I needed help. I pulled myself up by the bootstraps and started a lifestyle change of better eating and actually doing exercise. It is 10 months later, and I hiked up to the top to see the comet. I didn’t see the comet, but I made it all the way to the top. It was harder going back down than up. Goals are worth it - and Embracing them is an amazing feeling!

This is beyond fantastic, Susie!! You, Mike and Meli look so happy and you are so blessed. I'm just thrilled that you made this climb - it's been your goal for so long. Thank you for the opportunity to see a little bit of it through modern technology. I hope you frame this and hang it where you can see it every day - what a glorious goal that you reached!!! :heartpumpred: :heartpumpred: :heartpumpred:

I just must give you a Standing O for this awesome work of art!!
 
What a great story. Congrats on the SO! And congrats on the accomplishments!
 
Congratulations on achieving your wonderful goal!! And the Standing O! I love everything about your page. The photo is wonderful and drew me in from the gallery. Then reading your journaling warmed my heart. The way this background and photos blends together is perfection. So proud of you and all the hard work you have put in to achieve this goal you set. Thank you for sharing with us that it wasn't a simple straight line to get here but some bumps and detours yet you still made it to your goal of hiking Exploration Peak Park. You are amazing! :heartpumppink: :heartpumppink: :heartpumppink:
 
Just saw this in the Standing O Thread! Congrats! Totally well deserved! What a story! Loved reading your journaling. Hiking is hard!
