As you all know, I am a huge New Kid on the Block
[NKOTB] fan. I proudly call myself a Block Head [BH]. I have had a lot of many
blessing since Thursday. I was followed by Danny Wood [NKOTB member] followed
me on Twitter. I like following Danny because he always Tweets about his workouts
and running. Danny is #LivingHealthy and encourages everyone that follows him
to do so as well. There have been times when I see his Tweet- “Workout for the
day done” and I’m reminded to work out or decide to work out again. I’m always
encouraged to keep getting healthy by Danny’s Tweets. So when he followed me I
was grateful. I had a little fan girl moment. I shouted “YES!” so loud I scared
my roommate.
Then there was the FANtastic moment of this
afternoon. Today was a great day! I made a lot of progress in the story I’m
writing, able to get a good workout in and I had a something wonderful happen
to me. I’m having trouble writing about this moment. [Due to still being so
happy.] Well today I logged onto Twitter and it showed I had a Direct Message.
[DM] I clicked onto the messages and got a surprise. I had a DM from Jonathan
Knight. [NKOTB Member] I just stared at the screen. I read it again. I double
checked to make sure I was right about who sent it. I was right. Then I found
myself screaming! [All the BH’s know what I mean by screaming. I was in fan
mode.] I never expected a DM from him. Never! I was so surprised, excited and
happy. I was walking on air for most of the day. [Ok I’m still walking on air.]
Jonathan just responded to a comment I made about a picture he posted. I was honored that Jon took time from his vacation
to respond to me. I know he has no idea who I am. I know he doesn’t know that
he saved my life. I know he doesn’t know how much he inspires me. I know that
he doesn’t know he is my hero. But I’m
just honored he took a moment to send me that DM.
[To understand how he saved my life read how my
journey began:
Let’s just say I am even more motivated to achieve
my weight loss goal and go on the NKOTB cruise in 2015. I am very motivated for my smaller goal of 50
pounds by May 14, 2014. I’ll reach it. I know I will. Now I am adding to my walking and my work
outs. I’ll be writing about that soon. I
hope you all have a blessed and magical day!
