A couple of awesome things have happened so far this week and I would like to share them with you...
1. I joined a Facebook weight loss competition and I have a chance to win $330.00 May 5th! How it works is, I paid $10 to join and so did 32 other people. We have 6 weeks to lose as much weight as we can and then the person at the final weigh-in who loses the most percentage of weight, WINS! We have to send in our weight to the girl who put it all together (Amanda) every single Wednesday... if we miss a Wednesday, we are out of the competition. Now, I am not sure if you know this about me or not but boy oh boy do I love a good competition.... I love to win! My winning obsession is so bad that when I am at the gym, I am racing the person beside me and they don't even know we are competing! Ha! I think this, along with the 2 other things that have happened this week, is really going to help drive me to lose this weight I have gained this past year...
2. I joined a bible study lead by my dear friend Brittanie. The bible study is based on a book called "Love to Eat, Hate to Eat". I have been dealing with demons a very long time and when I lost my 100 pounds, I was able to shut those demons up but I was never able to learn how to actually deal with them... hence why I ended up gaining some of the weight back (that and my stupid knee surgery). I am ready to get my mind and my heart in line with my determination so that I can fight this weight loss battle the correct way! After I lose this weight this time, I do not want it back ever again!
3. Y'all ready to hear the last thing that has happened this week?! I have shared the GREAT news with a few people around me already and I am now finally ready to share it with you.... I RAN! It has been over a year since the last time I ran and something has been missing in my life since then. I know with my knee surgery, I do not need to be out there running long distances and everything, BUT running intervals seems to be okay. My knee has never felt stronger (I chalk that up to Insanity) and after I ran some the past 2 days, my knee did not hurt or ache once. My plan is to just keep taking it very slow, keep running some intervals (30 seconds to 1 minute of running followed by 1 minute of walking). It felt so amazing to just be able to zone out and run again... The 1st day I tried it, I was only going to go 30 seconds... well I ended up zoning out and ran 3 minutes before I realized it. Oh how I have missed running so much!!!
I have to say for this only being Wednesday, I have had a really good week so far! I am getting my mind right, I am running again and I am ready to shed this weight once and for all...
