Encouragement

I am doing this for myself, this losing weight and being more healthy thing.  That said, I realize that I have made my goal and my journey public by doing this blog.  As it turns out, I really do appreciate the encouragement I have received  in the form of comments, and I have received many nice ones lately.  It is a bit like when you run a long race and your spirits are starting to flag, it is so nice to have people along the way pulling for you and telling you that you can do it.  Or you are in a football game and your team is down a few points and the crowd starts to go wild for you.  But lately it has felt more like Rocky in the final rounds, eyes bruised and bloody when he want to give up but  hears the crowd chanting, Rocky! Rocky!  When that happened, Rocky was encouraged to keep going, to keep swinging and that is just what I am  going to do.  Thank you everyone!
