Well, I'm sitting here because a storm hit and we lost power: I'm using my laptop until the battery dies. I decided to write a brief update. My weight is down to 171 lbs. I'm almost in the century club, just 3 more lbs.
Last Saturday, my daughter and I went to six flags white water with one of my friends from work. I thought I would feel self conscious in my bathing suit, but I slowly got comfortable walking around. There were 2 favorite moments for me:
1. My daughter and I got on same donut on the water ride. While floating, I thanked God for the opportunity to be able to do this. I couldnt believe the whole thing.
2. My 7 year old daughter pulling towards the waves in the wave pool; the fact that she was able to pull me against the waves amazes me.
It's been a very busy week and we are preparing for back to school here in GA.
Monday is my birthday and I will be 43 years old. For the first time in 8 or 9 years, I'm not obese. I pray that it's a very relaxing day. I don't have much planned but a little pampering. One of my friends told me not to plan anything so I'm not sure what that means. Anyway, I"m blessed and truly grateful for DS.
The race bug has hit me again, I'm thinking about training for the 10k on Labor Day; back in the day when I did local races, this is one race I said I would never do, but I may. I will decide this week because I need to begin training specifically for the race. The race is primary uphill. My younger sister runs track and I asked her to do it with me but she's undecided.
So, we'll see. Anyway, that's all I have to say for now
