I posted this as a note on Facebook..some of you have may already seen it..
Top 10 things I have learned in 2010 1.When a tragedy happens in your life, you find out who your real friends and family are, the ones that are their every day even two years later. 2. Carbs are overrated. 3. When a group of people go through the same experience, they create a bond that no one can understand. 4. Lock your rims 5. Starbuck's Skinny Vanilla Latte..was created just for me. 6. Working for a Non-Profit is TRULY rewarding 7. A well made cosmo can put a HUGE smile on my face. 8.Holding a baby the day they were born is truly special 9. You can eat Tuna every day for lunch 10.I am an inspiration. Thank You to all who were involved in making my 2010 so great, I <3 you all! Bring on 2011!
I can say # 10 for the first time in my life. My friend Angie from High School is being banded on Tuesday, because of me. A while back she sent me a private message on Facebook, asking how I was losing weight. And I told her all about the band. Below is a note she sent me last week.
Remember I am finally doing this because of you...you are my inspiration!! THANK YOU!!!
Please send Angie a message, as she starts on her amazing journey!
Cheers to 2011!!
You are an inspiration to me too Nicole and I am not just talking about your success with the band! You are truly an amazing young woman and I cannot wait to see what 2011 has in store for you! I wish you only the best my young friend!
ReplyDeleteYour blog has been a pick me up this year during my banding 9/15. You are truly a mentor because you have succeeded through diligence and commitment.

I am now following Angie :) I love that list!
ReplyDeleteNicole, I think you're the bee's knees. You look fantastic, and the part about holding a baby on the day s/he's born made me think of my own children and the moments the nurses put them in my arms. As for #3, well said. And I couldn't agree more with #10. Happy New Year, girl!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! I'm sure 2011 will be even better than 2010. I enjoy your blog, thanks for writing!

ReplyDeleteYou ARE an inspiration Nicole! I'll be thinking I'll look as cute as you do in your Nike running shorts on those days I really don't want to hop on the treadmill. 98lbs is an amazing accomplishment - I didn't realize it was that much until I looked at your ticker. I can't even imagine how much hard work it took for you to accomplish that - you go girl! Love your list!
ReplyDeleteHo-ly HELL! I love this!! You are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am going to echo all the comments - I love reading your blog and you are really inspirational!
ReplyDeleteThe list is great - and the transformation pictures unbelievable!
Dear Nicole,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say that I love that when you leave a comment on anyone's blog that your square icon photo is just of your torso/rack in a lovely shade of purple. It brightens my day.
Don't ever change.
Have a great summer.
Love,
Joey
