I've been posting a lot on my facebook status's about protecting and defending my "dream". I figured it was a good time now to explain exactly what my dream is. It isn't just a simple dream, instead its how I want my life to be, a multi-faceted dream that encompasses everything I want out of life.
To start, a basic summary of the dream is to live a happy and healthy life. I want to laugh, smile and enjoy everything that life has to offer. But, in order to do that, this is when I begin to break down my ultimate dream into the smaller ones that begin to build the foundation of it all. Each part of it is essential and I will do WHATEVER it takes to make sure it happens.
First comes my marriage. I want a happy and healthy relationship with my husband. I want it to grow stronger every day. I continue to fall more and more in love with my husband each day. I know there will be bumps in the road, however, I know at the end of every day, we love each other unconditionally and it will continue to make both of us happy. With that, I will not let ANYTHING come between my husband and I. No person or thing stands a chance at trying to drive a wedge between us. Each day we only grow stronger together as a couple and more united and closer. It honestly feels so good to have someone SO DEVOTED that they will give up anything just to be with you. I will do WHATEVER it takes to defend and protect my marriage.
Second is to have a happy and healthy family. This includes a variety of people, but my main focus in on Bud and I and our children that we will one day have. HOWEVER, it will be AWHILE before there are any little Hares running around our house! So, please quit asking when we will have kids - its going to be AT LEAST another year at the earliest - more than likely they are 2 to 3 years out! But, when they do arrive - I will protect and defend them with all of my heart and soul. Same for my other family members - I will do anything to keep them safe and happy.
Third are my athletic goals that make up part of the dream. I have so many things I want to achieve athletically. This whole triathlon kick isn't just for this summer. I plan on doing these for as long as my body is able. Its an incredible rush and has transformed my body is so many ways. I have two more tris left this year, plus a half- marathon. This is just the beginning. I want to be the young mom who crosses the finish line to her babies after an Olympic Distance Tri. I want to be the 70 year old lady crossing the finish line after her 50 half marathon. I want to be strong and healthy for the rest of my life. Using these athletic dreams pushes me to continue to make smart decisions in regards to my health.
Fourth, having a healthy and happy career. I absolutely love my job and cannot imagine myself doing anything else. It is exciting, challenging and rewarding. I love getting up to go to work and have been blessed to be surrounded with amazing co-workers!
Finally, maintaining my current weight and healthy lifestyle is the ultimate part of my dream. I refuse to ever let myself go like I did. I will NOT be a size 12 or 14 ever again. I will not let emotions fuel food choices or stress lead to overeating. I will NOT get fat. I will stay trim, healthy and happy.
What is your dream?
