Another 5k down

This past Saturday 30 April 2011 I did another 5k with these ladies! We had a great time that day. Did better this time then in the Gate River 5k. I had put out the link on Facebook and this is the group that said "Lets Do It" Some are from my weight loss center and two are really close friends of mine. Thank you for joining me!

If you told me that I would be looking for 5ks to do this time last year that I would be doing this I would have laugh at you. I would have NEVER gone for the 3mile walk for the joy of it let alone for the work out! I come a long way since the days of being a log on the couch!

Later in the week I head back to my Doctor for my monthly check on my weight loss. It seems it is slowing down a bit, but I keep telling myself I don't have as much to loose anymore. At any rate I hope I loss at least 7-10lbs over the last month. When I went shopping this weekend for some things to wear to church I marvel at the ideal that I was able to shop really any where I want to and I bought a size Large. That right it was not in the plus size section and I am often amazed that I get a size and I am swimming in it! I learned not to buy to big now but even maybe a bit smaller as I am still loosing weight. I can't replace everything I have stacked in a corner of my bedroom all at once but I can buy a few basics and go from there and hope I will be able to wear them for a little while. (And for those wondering if I am ever going to get rid of the FAT clothes they are going today or tomorrow! I promise!)

I am looking for things to do now. On Thursday May 5th I am going to volunteer to help the USO at MOE's in Jacksonville Beach for a few hours at Lunch time. Supporting our troops! I want to go and do like I have not done in years! This is simply because I have felt better and don't mind as much being out.

Before I close, I have to send a shout out to my Husband and Son and all those from my church that will be heading over to Alabama to help with the storm clean up on over Mothers Day weekend. It will be a long trip over a short weekend with much work to be done. When you are in service of your fellow men and the Lord you will be blessed as well as your families. It is a wonderful Mothers day present to have a husband and son in service for the Lord!

Have a great week everyone!
