Ordinary Running

I weighed in last night and am down another pound so woo hoo for me. I think it's only 1 lb because I started getting exercise this week and my metabolism is freaked out. But, that's ok, I'll take it!

I spoke with my friend Courtney to see if she would be interested in doing the 5K with me and she is! She's been wanting to start getting some exercise since Derek was born so she's taking this chance too.

And we've found the run we're going to do. It's called the Monster Mash Road and Trail 5K/10K and kids 1K fun run. And, it's November 1 so NO SLACKING! I'm getting really excited about this and am glad to have the motivation, pushing, and shoving from Courtney to do this!

Have a great day everyone!

Ordinary Adult Learnings

Well, I start my 11th class tonight. I mentioned this in a previous post. It's Ethics in Management and I hope it will be interesting class. I finished my 1400 word paper and have posted it. I hope it's good, it's worth something like 15 points!

I don't know if I mentioned that I asked Valerie about possibly riding with the Lone Star Cowgirls in parades. Well, she invited us over last weekend after the Watermelon Festival and we went for a ride. I rode Mylie and enjoyed myself tremendously. It was nice riding with Valerie and golly, it was relaxing, and quite and really nice.

Here are a couple of pictures. Yeah, I know - I'm working on losing weight!

Ordinary Weight Loss?

I posted previously that I'm on WW now. So, had weigh in last night, down another 2.8lbs! Grand total of 10.8lbs so far. So far so good. Go me!

Thursday, I start class again with my very great, very supportive team, Dave and Mike, minus Doug. It will be an interesting class with several people from previous courses including Toni and Mae. I have a 1400 word paper due Thursday so I have to get on it!

Found out MIL started WW last night. It will be good to discuss things with her. Hopefully, we can keep each other motivated!

Also, I'm thinking of starting a couch to 5K program. I actually want to start week 1 day 1 tonight when I go work out. Wish me luck on this. I'm really excited.

Ok, that's about it!

Ordinary Changes?

I haven't posted since June 30 and we've been kind of busy since then.

July 1, I did join Weight Watchers (yea me) and starting weight is 234.4 (yuck) but enough is enough. I will be weighing in on Monday nights. This will keep me accountable over the weekends.

The first weekend we went to Ft Worth with the Lone Star Cowgirls. We had a great time and got to visit with Deanna, Becca, and Dustin. It was really good seeing them. We did alot of walking in Ft Worth going to the horse show, hanging out in the barn with the cow girls, we also visited the Civil War Museum and also a big flea market.

I watched what I ate even though we were in a hotel for 4 days and ate out every meal and it paid off. At weigh in on July 7, I was down 5.2 lbs! woo hoo!

2nd weigh in was July 14, and I was down another 2.8 lbs for a total of 8 lbs in 2 weeks! I'm so excited.

I've started using the treadmill at work and getting more and more exercise. The 15th and 16th I walked 1/2 hr at lunch. I ran into a couple of women from my department there and I hope at some point I'm able to join them in the class they take.

Yesterday, the cowgirls were in a parade so we went to help them and watch. We ended up riding in the truck that's in front of them and played their music. That was fun. But, it was so hot!

Donnie and John went to back to John and Vals but the rest of us stayed at the Watermelon Festival and looked around. Tried to do well with eating but while I feel I made health choices, didn't get my 8 healthy's in. I'll do better today.

Also, Valerie let me ride on Mylie! She rode Freckles and we walked around their neighborhood. It took 45 minutes but was so much fun. She thinks I'll be able to ride in a parade with them in September. I'm looking forward to that.

Ok, well, I'm going to clean up our flower bed, do laundry, homework, watch the race and hope to get some cross stitching in too!

Have a great ordinary day!
