I met an incredible man tonight. He has been a HUGE inspiration to me and to actually meet him in real life was a giant blessing. He is awesome. He is funny and cheerful and his positive energy and attitude are contagious. I'm talking about Ben. You can learn everything you need to know about Ben by clicking here and here. Do yourself a favor and at least click on the first link. It may change your life. Or at least move you in some way or another.

Not only did I get to meet Ben and talk to him, I got to participate in my first 5K tonight because of him and it felt great. It was hot and miserable during, but afterwards it was so rewarding! I had a fantastic night tonight and I owe it all to Ben. He's amazing.

Also, I made this blog public as of tonight because of him. I feel like maybe I can help more people that way. It's scary, but life is scary. Here's to continuing on my weight-loss journey!!
