Dan Wheldon 3 Years

How on earth as it been 3 years already?? I still can't believe you're gone. We've all had 3 years to mourn your loss and deal with this unbearable pain. I can't speak for everyone but the pain I felt this day 3 years ago is the exact same pain I feel today, I've just learned to deal with it. October 16th has been burned into our hearts and minds. We'll remember this date for the rest of our lives. Because this day is when we lost a friend and a true champion and role model. What a great role model you were Dan. Your boys are growing up to be just like you. So caring and kind and so well mannered at such a young age. You've left a footprint in their hearts and they will carry you around forever. They have an entire racing family behind them, and I promise your boys will know you and how you were, because we will show them the best we know how. Continue to look down on us. While we all look up at you hoping we can live life you, if we all had an ounce of kindness you had this world would be so much nicer.

 We fear this day every year, everyday it gets closer and closer. It's been 3 years and I still feel like this has been a very long nightmare. It's never going to get easier that you are gone. I don't think we will ever be able to truly move on. We deal with it but that pain is always with us. Some can mask it better than others. You meant so much to so many people and you still do. In a way it's like your still here with us because you left footprints with all of us. We carry a piece of you around with us rather it be a change in how we treat someone or getting tattooed with something that we minds us of you or simply just wearing a bracelet that says 'Lionheart". I've wore my bracelet since May of 2012, and I've only taken it off once, because I had to. For me its just something to remind me of the man you were and how kind and caring you were. Regardless of how long you knew someone you treated them as a friend someone you knew for years. You were always so approachable, I don't think I ever saw you in a bad mood. When you were in the public you had the best attitude. 
Fly High DW. We love you and we miss you.

Dan Wheldon

I sit here attempting to study for my finals and all I can think about is Dan Wheldon. It still seems like a big nightmare. Dan Wheldon can't be gone. It's not fair. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had to work the day of the Las Vegas race and I was pissed that I couldn't enjoy the last race with my family and friends. But I went to work anyway, because that is what a responsible adult does. I work at a kiosk so it is easy for me to check things on the internet. Well this particular day I was a little busy with customers so I didn't get to start the radio broadcast on time. I think I tuned in on lap 10, it was right before the horrid accident happened. After the accident happened I knew something was wrong, I felt it in the pit of my stomach. I called my family constantly, tweeted, and facebooked. At this point work was the last thing on my mind. It was roughly 5:15 or so and while I had been crying the whole time, it was different, I just had a complete melt

Weight Journey

I've struggled with weight my entire life. I was in jr. high and was a member of Weight Watchers, at 13 years old. Weight Watchers did work for me and my lowest weight I believe was 140. Which is my ultimate goal weight, as of now. But it got to expensive going to the meetings so we stopped. As we stopped we also stopped eating healthy like we were doing while on weight watchers. Slowly, the weight came back on and ultimately more weight. By the time I graduated high school I weight about 200 pounds. Then it was time for college, being a college student I definitely didn't eat the way I should, during my 4 years of college I put on another 60 pounds roughly, weighing a whopping 260 pounds. In the next 6 months I put on 20 more pounds. My highest recorded weight was 280 pounds and that was Thanksgiving 2012. Now, I know that isn't healthy whatsoever, and I know what I need to do. Its a simply and easy equation. Eat healthy and get off my ass. The beginning of the year is the

7 Day Detox

So I'm starting my 7 day detox program through Genesis Pure. Here is the link to the program menu. http://www.genesispure.com/ templates/genesis/public/pdf/ 7_day_detox.pdf However, I will be changing a few things around. Instead of using their shakes I will be using Shakeology that I already have. I'm very excited/nervous about this because I've never done any sort of a detox. That being said I think it will go very well, and I'm not doing this to just 'loose weight' I'm doing it to flush my body of all the toxins I've ingested in the last few months during my hiatus of healthy living. I will say though I did weigh myself because I was curious to see how much weight I had gained, to my surprise I only gained 3.5 pounds in 3 months, so that's pretty okay if you ask me. I know that's no excuse for my hiatus but I'm blessed that it was only 3.5 pounds, because it could have been a lot worse! So I'm looking forward to this detox and eating
