7 weeks down... 3 more to go...

Tonight's weigh in did not go as well as I hoped but went a lot better than I thought it would. I really wanted a 5 pound week. That would put me pretty much at the top of the top 5 for % body fat lost- but I am number four which honestly was a huuuuuge surprise to me. I am number 1 for weight pounds lost. I have exactly 3 weeks left in the program. That leaves me having to bump up one slot each week to win it overall. I need extra prayers. This may not seem like a big deal to you but it is a huge deal to me. I would appreciate any encouragement, love, support and prayers. It fuels me and pushes me when I do not want to go any further.  I lost a total of 3.2 pounds this week for a grand total of 30 pounds during the charleston challenge thus far (7 weeks finished 3 weeks to go). 

Tonight, our trainer made us run a mile and timed it. I ran it in 13.24 which is faster than my high school time. I was really impressed with that because I was actually active and played sports in high school. We also ran 3 flights of stairs and timed it... I did it in 28 seconds. We are going to be doing these again next week to see if we can beat our time. I'll keep you up dated on the improvements! 

I have been having a lot of issues with my legs hurting and doing weird things. I think it's some type of lower back issue or nerve issue. I'm going to have to make a way financially and in my schedule to get to the chiropractor next week. I have never been but Julie has really been trying to get me to go. I think it would fix a lot of issues. For example of just how bad it is.... I was in spin class on tuesday and my foot fell asleep. And I was SPINNING. HARD! That is not good.  There is no reason why that should have happened. I'm looking forward to getting in there and getting some things straightened out (literally) and getting back to work full force these next three weeks. 

Thanks for reading.

And I leave you with this quote that has been in my mind for a long time and I have used it to encourage my team members. It just happened to be highlighted tonight in our weekly class and weigh in too.

Whether You Think You Can or Can't, You're Right"

--Henry Ford

I not only THINK I can.

I KNOW I can.

I will lose 150 pounds.

I will win this competition.

I will be the best me possible.

No compromise.
