a lame update

Life is crazy busy right now I shouldn't even be typing right now so I do not know why I am besides the fact that I need a break from homework!!!!!!

Classes are done except I still have 6 things left on my to do list for next week :/
Work tonight and all weekend!
So that is what I will be doing ALLLLL weekend!

Then a break and then summer school :/

2 weeks untill I see one of my best friends for her WEDDING!
6 days until our Carb dinner
8 days until the mini! I cannot believe it!!!!

TANNING

I love tanning! BEFORE ANYONE COMMENTS YES I KNOW ITS BAD FOR ME :)

Love it!

29 days until the Mini....wow!!!! IT has come fast! I cannot believe. Now is when all the anxiety hits. I am so nervous. At first I just acted like hey if I finish than that'll be fine. But no I really wanna run the whole time. I still do not care about my time but I really wanna finish and finish running!

My best's wedding is about a month away! Pretty excited about that. That is why I have been tanning :) Gotta look good for the big event! Excited to see people! I miss Tennessee and the people...but I love home!!! I have been super super busy lately. Not a lot of time to do much....especially breathe. haha
School is almost done...about 3 weeks....then summer school :/ I am hoping to take a vacay to Florida sometime in June!!!! Hope it works out!!!!!

Just wanting an update?? OK good!

So my life is pretty crazy right now...I hate not updating the people who care whats going on in my life and my life of running and weight loss :) 


School is crazy. I think only like 4 weeks left or something like that....it would be more promising if I didn't have to go into another class for summer! In June I will get a break...at least from school :) 


Started my new job yesterday and left a job that I had been with (the company) for 5 years. It was sad in the sense that I will miss the people but I am happy to keep moving on :) Now I just need to get the footing in this new job. I'll get it...I really like the people and the clothes :)


I ran 7 miles on Friday....thats half the race (one good friend reminded me ) I can't believe how far I have come. I feel God's strength inside me and I am thankful for the people HE has placed in my life as encouragers. He knows my heart and that it is a heart that feeds off of encouragment and I know He placed me with these people for a reason :) I also weighted in this morning and my total weight loss so far is......  15.4 POUNDS!!!!!!! I am TWO pounds away from my FIRST goal weight. A weight that I never thought was possible....and it wasn't with the way I was doing things....and trying to do them alone. Thanks for all your support!!! Praying for all of you.

Slumpty Dumpty

This week I have felt a sense of being burnt out on working out. I don't know if it was getting back into the swing of things after spring break or if I am just over it for now. I am trying to stick with it no worries there. Running was good this week...except yesterday. Tuesday we did 4.3 miles and YES those ,3 do make a difference :). Today we did 4 but yesterday I only ran 2.1 (which was the scheduled amount but I needed to do more) Then I walked another mile. Today's run felt so good! I wasn't feeling it at first....my body ached, I was tired, I feel sinus stuff going on and we were going to be back inside looking at the same four hallways for 48 laps. Rough. We had been so blessed with such amazing weather this week and spoiled to get to run outside and so to come back inside was hard but it went well. I love the feeling after a run....I hurt during the run, I can't breathe...all those negative thoughts go away and you feel so good. Its the best feeling for me :) I have also discovered I cannot motivate myself very much. It takes special people. So that's my update today! I am in a slump with working out and hoping to get out of it!!!

Well yesterday was my FIRST 5K race...ever! It was excellent! I couldn't have asked God for a better day! The weather was great running weather and I could breathe. My legs felt great! I had someone to run with! I had a good time! It was just fabulous! I did it is 34:25. Fabulous for me! It had many reasons to give praise to God! The race help me be more excited for the mini and more nervous all the same time! Lots of emotions! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers and words of encouragment!

Next big thing.....the Mini...in like 50 days :/

uh do what?!

I have come to learn that the amount of pounds you lose is NOT everything! Honestly how I feel! BUT since I can't check my inches weekly I just thought I would say I have lost  total of 10.8 pounds since January 5 ish. I am pretty exctied and all praise to God. It is crazy! I am about 16 lbs from my 1st goal weight :) Again I am not obsessed with the scale. I look at how I feel, how my clothes feels, and just a general sense of accomplishments! I love it! I love feeling so good about myself and life and most importantly how I feel about God and His love and strength for me! It's great!

Have a good and safe weekend! I can't wait to see one of my good good friend Saturday!
Loves!
