The 2010 Winter Olympics have arrived! To be honest, I did not think I would enjoy watching anything but speed skating, but I have found some of the skiing events very enjoyable. And as I was watching the various events, I realized that my journey is like the Olympics...minus the athleticism, the devotion, the really cool outfits, the medals, the National Anthem, the commentators, and the endorsement deals. Wow! Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, my journey is like the Olympics because it takes drive and heart. There are moments of glory (losing the weight) and moments of defeat (gaining it back), but through it all I don't give up and I keep pushing myself to be a better me. Pass the Kleenex! Please that was beautiful. Wow, Kleenex could be my first endorsement. :)
So, how am I doing? Well according to the American judge I'm perfect (thanks Mom), the Italian judge thinks I need work (too many carbs), the French judge wouldn't even score me (no significant other), and Switzerland was neutral (that would be me). So, at this time I have not received a medal or gotten to the podium, but I made it past the first round of competitions. I hope that by the end of the month I have made it to the finals and landed a medal (weight 189 or lower). Wish me luck! Oh by the way, I even have my own Olympics Rings...
From your Favorite Olympian
