My Favorite Quote- "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I have recently lost a lot of weight and running is very new to me (I started running about 2 years ago). I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.

My new weight goal is to have lost 100 pounds. I am quite sure I can get to about 93, but I am not sure about the 100. The weight tracker is tracking my total weight loss.

Can you say FORTY QUARTS of homemade applesauce?

I am feeling much better :D My weight is holding steady, which is very normal for me. I lose over about a week and then hold for 2-3, then lose again. I have been holding for a few weeks, so hopefully I'll be ready to start dropping again soon.

This week, I am going to play my mileage by ear. I will plan for 5 a day with 10-12 for saturday. We will see how it goes. Lately all plans have been shot down, so flexibility is key!

I am off for another church adventure with the kids! Whoo Hoo! I get to sing a duet today, which should be fun :) I love to sing with Shanelle. She has the most BEAUTIFUL voice :)

All of that, and you can sing, too!!! WOW. I have always wished I could sing, really!

Way to go on the weight. I have had too much food this weekend, so I am not going anywhere NEAR a scale until Wednesday of this week. I can not afford to FREAK right now.

Here is to a GOOD week and be able to meet or exceed our goals and plans!

I am jealous you can sing too. I have to fake sing in church or I will embaress myself.

Way to go on holding on to your loss, I totally understand that. You are making such great progress!

Wait, you made 40 quarts of applesauce? And... you sing too? Wait, for real?? Is this humanly possible for a woman to be so amazing and nice at the same time? YES, IT IS AND IT'S YOU!!! I am honored to associate with you.
