Do you have that one person in your life who knows you better than you know yourself, but still likes you? That person who will support you and encourage you and give you a good swift kick if need be? That person who knows when to listen, when to talk and most importantly when absolutely nothing can or needs to be said? That person who lends a hand or a shoulder and knows just which one you need? That one person who you just can't imagine living your life without? (Other than my babies that is!!!) If you do, thank God for them daily and let them know just how special they are to you. I do and you are all this and more to me Bev. Thank you!

 

Ok everyone, thanks for letting me say all that. We had a wonderful BL weekend this past weekend! Lots of talking and sharing things that can help each other and ourselves. I tried chasing Bev around the track too. I have no idea what she sees in this running thing, but I'm glad she enjoys it so much! ;-) She has improved so much as a runner. In less than 6 months she has gone from no running to going 4 miles with still more in the tank! She has upped her pace and form too and is truly thrilled about running!! I just don't understand it! lol I couldn't be more proud of her! Bravo my amazing teammate. Together we looked at what's been going on in my recent slow down and as much as I hated admitting it, I had to face that journaling is essential! So I started again yesterday and hope it turns things around for me this week! I'm working harder physically, but had let my eating habits slip and it took it's toll. As Bev noted, if I worked as hard on my eating as I do my exercise, I'd be much farther down the scale. She does a wonderful job in tracking her eating habits and improving them where she can and now is upping her physical activity with the warmer weather. So if I'm gonna be able to keep up with her, I'm going to have to start working harder on my eating habits. Scares me and I know I'll struggle with it, but at least I know where my plateau started and can now start working on it. We also took some more pics this past weekend that we will be posting soon. Bev looks totally fantastic! She has done a wonderful job!

 

My numbers were down a little last week. I was exhausted on Thursday and sleep won out over working out, but I did walk 6 days last week for 15.4 miles and ride my bike for 34.4 more miles. I only lost another 1.2 last week. Hopefully with the journaling this week, that last number will at least double! Hope everyone out there has a great week!

 

Hurray for Ali! I was hoping for Kelly to win, but Ali did an amazing job.
