Today my 7 year old and I completed a 5k in Woodstock. Choicesforkids.com had a 5k to raise money for childhood obesity. This was my daughter's first 5k and she did a great job. Afterwards there were activities for the kids.

My daughter did WI Fit she really enjoyed it; she shot basketball hoops. She's really good at that...and one of the things I'm most proud of her for is the fact that she climbed a rock wall. It was very tall and she had to try 3 times before she went all the way to the top but she did it.... and I was so proud of her determination to complete the task.

Famous chef, Marvin Woods, cooked low fat jambalaya and other meals. He also answered questions about removing fat from common dishes. It was great.

Next week, there is another 5k that I want to participate in; I think this one benefits epilepsy. I don't plan on taking my 7 year old because I would like to complete this one quicker. I am planning to participate in a 1/2 marathon in September so I really need to step up my game and get to training.

I met someone who does boot camps for women. Now, this is something that I think would take me to the next fitness level. A new class begins next week, but I won't be able to participate in it. I can't afford it right now; but I wrote down my contact information and she will call me so I can participate in the next class.

She told me that she could see my excitement about the class as she described it to me. I pray that I will be able to participate the next go round.

My weight fluctuates between 151-153. I can't seem to get below 150 and stay there. My goal is 142-144 lbs.

Well, that's all for now; I really don't have much of a social life outside of church functions.
