Overwhelmed

I just realized I never updated about finishing the cleanse. I did finish, I ended up down 6 lbs at the highest, but the last day I was only down 5 lbs. I'll take it! It's 5 lbs closer to my goal. It was a good cleanse, I'm sure I'll do it again in the future. I also lost 4.5 inches overall. Pretty excited about that.
Since finishing on Sunday,  I have lost a little bit more. I am down a total of 88 lbs as of yesterday. I didn't weigh today because was gone all day in Wichita with my parents. I'll have to see if anything has changed tomorrow. I'm pretty excited to have just under a month, and only 12 lbs to go. I think that's TOTALLY do able.

I have had a ridiculous outpouring of people commenting, messaging me, etc. about my weight loss. Both congratulating me and wanting to know how to get started themselves, also having them say I've inspired them to lose weight, others that want me to be their "person" that keeps them accountable. It's all soooo humbling. There's been so many comments made to me that have literally brought tears to my eyes. I just can't believe that I've affected so many people, and also that there are SOO many people standing behind me, supporting me, cheering me on, on this life changing journey. I can't tell you how truly amazing that feels and how blessed it makes me. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all of you who are always there for me and always let me know how proud you are of what I've accomplished, you really do keep me going!!! Seriously.

Justin didn't end up going to MEPS on Monday because MEPS screwed up and didn't get all the paperwork done they needed to before he could go. Big shock right?? Ha. So he's now going in 2 weeks (well not 2 weeks from now, but April 30th) to get all of that finished up. We are kind of just in a whirlwind about things. He's not sure if he'll get to actually do it because he has to have a couple of waivers, but our friend who is active duty (AJ) says that the waivers Justin has to have done are not a big deal and won't affect him, but Justin is still concerned about that, so who knows what will end up happening. Also, AJ told us a lot of stuff we didn't know before, and if it's all true, it could get ridiculous really quick, as far as things happening. I won't go into all of that because we aren't sure how much of that will really happen, so until we get certain word on that, I'll just keep it to myself. *Sigh* I'm feel really overwhelmed about the whole process, to be honest.... We've also looked into other options if this doesn't end up working out. At this point, we wouldn't be surprised either way. We just want to know, bottom line, and assuming he actually gets to go to MEPS on the 30th, we should know for certain by then what's happening and when. Please pray for us. Ok, more for me than anything, lol I'm just a hot mess. A big ball of anxiety............. It'll work out. One way or another. If the USMC falls through, we do have other options, so life isn't over just because it takes us in a different direction. It will certainly be disappointing, but we'll know that it's obviously meant to be that way, if that's how it goes. We will just have to see. We are just trying to stay neutral right now, since it's all so up in the air.

Anyway, I'm exhausted, mentally and physically, so I'm heading to bed.
Love
