1. What is going awesome for you right now?
I've been on a lifestyle change journey through the program Fit Girls Guide and it's going very, very well. This is my second month on it and I've already lost over 13 inches (I refuse to weigh myself because the scale makes me want to cry).

2. What is going poorly?
My anxiety is getting a little worse lately. I've been thinking about my little brother more and more this week, I really miss him.

3. What is a recent challenge you have overcome?
I used to have random bouts of eating healthy and exercising, then I'd give it up after a few days. This is the first time in my life that I've pushed myself to do what I need to do to be and stay healthy, consistently.

4. What are you looking forward to in the near future?
Going on a cruise to the Bahamas with my husband in October. It'll be our 1 year wedding anniversary and 11 year anniversary of being together trip. I can't wait!

1. What is going awesome for you right now?
I'm having some pretty good cheap pony luck lately.

2. What is going poorly? (We give hugs)
My health insurance company/the hospital from my last ER trip are a still going 3 month nightmare. I've also been looking for a part time job without much luck.

3. What is a recent challenge you have overcome?
I have pretty bad social anxiety, and even if it was online I finally managed to approach a person just to talk for the first time since like 4th grade.

4. What are you looking forward to in the near future?
I'm sleepy, so crawling into bed with my kitty after I get home and shower. Oh and when those previously mentioned cheap ponies arrive.

2. What is going poorly?
- Been in a place of overthinking too much again
- Been hating the way I've been thinking

3. What is a recent challenge you have overcome?

- I've come to grips with circumstances I now understand I cannot control.
