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.

Hey, you did great on your goals, you had a nice long run post feast and still lost 2.4!!! That is awesome! How much more are you trying to lose? I thought you made it to lifetime.

Enjoy your cut back week and your yoga!

Oh yes, I am lifetime. I just want to drop some more for the 1/2 marathon and for the full marathon next year. I also had gained some after a hamstring injury in Jan. I have only been back up to my pre-injury miles for about a month.

Well good luck on going even further!! I know once I meet my lifetime goal, I would like to take it a step further too, but, I need to get to lifetime first and it is a huge struggle for me. WE WILL DO IT!!!

At first when I saw them all crossed off I thought he had hit them all. Then I noticed the grades. Don't be too hard on yourself.
