Hey gals,
I hope all is well in the mission to free ourselves of flab. Thanks to our trusted leader Mel for keeping us up to date on the race and training. Laura, I checked out that link at Runner's World and it looks pretty cool. I put in all of my info and it set me up with a running schedule. The pace seems a lot slower than what I would like to finish up at, but I am going to give it a try. It has me running 7 miles this week, so we'll see how it goes, the furthest I have gone is 5. I realized last week that I was doing too much and trying to run too fast and this week I have slowed down and have taken a few days off and my body feels much happier.
I am officially coming up for the race. Jimmy's cousin is getting married that morning and I was a little worried about how it would look if I skipped out on a family wedding to run a race, but I'm going to do it. For me, it will be a long-time goal accomplished and I really need to accomplish something like this. It will be good.
On another note, I am a proud member of Weight Watchers of eight weeks now. Last week I logged in 15 pounds lost on the old scale--and I think it is about 15 pounds less than when I got pregnant with Hannah. It has been such a positive, good experience and I would highly recommend the program to anyone that finds themselves needing something like this now, or later in life. I have learned a lot and feel like I am on track.
Jimmy and I laugh about this now, but when I returned from my mission and was struggling with life in general he gave me some future husbandly advice of reading my scriptures and exercising. I wanted to punch his lights out. But, as I have been really active now for more than a month, I can see that my demeanor and attitude are so much better. Exercise may not be the cure-all but it has sure helped me to cope with life.
Anyways, that's my rant for the day. Hopefully we'll hear from some others soon. Running the race or not, stop in and say hi.
And for Mel. No, I will not be pregnant and yes I will be giving suck to my child.

Way to lose weight! I am so impressed. I may have to look into weight watchers. I am so bad at being disaplined to lose weight on my own.
I am also happy for your weight loss. It is a never ending journey for me. Apparently I have hit a weight loss wall. For I am at a stand still. So, maybe next time I will do Weight Watchers instead of Nutrisystems. You live you learn.
