On the Phone With Richard Simmons!

Okay, I am officially totally flying!

I just got off the phone.

WITH RICHARD SIMMONS!!!!!!

This is not a joke!

I wrote him an email about how much I was enjoying the program and that I had lost 15 pounds.

Just a simple little email.

AND HE CALLED ME ON THE PHONE!!!!!!!

I knew he would surprise people and call them or go see them – but those were other people! Never just little (or big, actually) ME!

He is going to use me as a success story on his website – I can’t even describe what it was like to get that call!

Richard, I’m going to make my goal weight. If you only knew how much that call meant!

When the story is up, I’ll post a link.

For now, please excuse me…

I’ve got some oldies I have to sweat to…

    Kim,

    I was so excited for you when I read this post, not just that you got to talk to Richard Simmons, but at your weight loss. Congratulations and I look forward to hearing more about you being featured as a success story on his website.

    He always comes across as such a kind, decent, caring human being. Now you’ve shown us it is all true. Good luck as you continue to change the way you think about eating and exercise. I am so happy for for you, this couldn’t happen to a nicer person!
