one year...

CHALLENGE...

started today!

First... thank you for all the birthday wishes! While at work for 4 1/2 hours: I had like 6 missed calls, 14 text messages, 3 bbms, and 48 FB messages. That is insane and so thoughtful of everyone. Thank you SO much to Cherie for taking the kids and me to Logan's Roadhouse for dinner and to Eric/Ali for meeting us. Anyway, I did turn 29! I say I NEVER want to have another birthday, but I know it will be here in 364 days. YIKES! That is where my 1 year challenge came in. It was really for myself, but a GREAT FRIEND that I've known since preschool is taking the challenge with me. I'm so happy for us! It isn't about losing weight, but feeling great... my best! I started my transformation with a 5K this morning! I'm so proud of Ashley (&Ty), Stacy and myself for completing it. 47 minutes was our time. By Christmas I want to have a 5K down to 30 minutes. I want to use my blog to keep myself accountable. Like I've always said... I'm going to post the good, bad, and ugly! I'm also allowing myself EITHER one pop or one sweet tea a day (until Christmas) and then I'll reevaluate. I'm being realistic this time... I will NOT quit!!
