what a good day!

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO DO 5 MILES TODAY, I REALLY WANTED TO DO 6 MILES BUT WHEN I WAS GOING TO DO THE LAKE AGAIN, THE BACK WAS TRYING TO TIGHTEN UP SO I THOUGHT BETTER AND WALKED ON BACK, BY TIME I GOT BACK TO THE START I FELT LIKE I COULD HAVE DONE IT, BUT I DONT WANT TO PUSH IT, IM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WELCOMING BACK AND CONCERN, WE ARE ALL BECOMING JUST ONE BACK FAMILY AND I THANK YOU ALL..

this weight thing

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE WEIGHT THING ALSO, BUT LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I HAVE NOTICED THESE LAST COUPLE WEEKS, WHEN I WAS UP AND DOING MY RUNNING AND WALKING,, AND GOING 5 MILES, I DIDNT LOSE A POUND, BUT THE CLOTHES WERE MUCH LOSER AND FOLKS TOLD ME I WAS LOSING THE WEIGHT, WELLLLLL, SINCE I HAVENT DONE MUCH OF ANYTHING FOR THE LAST MONTH AND EATING ABOUT THE SAME, I LOST 5 LBS, BUT THE CLOTHES WERE LITTLE MORE SNUG THAN BEFORE, DOESNT MAKE MUCH SENSE IF I HADNT BEEN READING WHAT MARK HAD BEEN WRITING ALL THIS TIME, THE BODY IS CHANGING, I GUESS WITH THE MUSLCE BUILD UP. KINDA ALL MAKES SENSE, AT FIRST I WAS IN THIS TO LOSE THE WEIGHT BUT NOW ITS MORE, I WANT TO GET INTO SHAPE BUT I ALSO WANT TO FEEL THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT OF DOING SOMETHING THAT NOT ALOT OF FOLKS DO.
KEEP UP ALL THE GOOD WORK AND IM SURE WHEN ITS 90* IN THE SHADE AND WE ARE THERE ON AND 10 MILER WE WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT. HA
HAVE A GOOD WEEK YA'LL , SEE YA BRIGHT AND EARLY SAT MORNING..

selfish and 3 miles

I DID SOMETHING YESTERDAY THAT I THINK FALLS UNDER OF ONE OF THE TOPICS MARK TALKED ABOUT ONCE,, BEING SELFISH. WHEN I SAY MY PRAYERS, I PRAY FOR EVERYONE BUT MYSELF, YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO WALK WITH OUT A LIMP, I PRAYED FOR MYSELF, HARD , BIG TIME PRAYING,, AND ASKED IF THIS IS IN THE BOOK FOR ME, ILL DO IT. TODAY I WAS ABLE TO WALK 3 MILES IN 50 MIN, I KNOW THATS NOT FAST BUT ITS A BIG ACCOMPLISMENT FOR ME. I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING OF A MONTH..LITTLE TENDER, I CAME HOME AND ICED THE AREA FOR ABOUT 30 MIN AND IT HELPED. VERY ENCOURAGING. ILL BE THERE SATURDAY, I DONT THINK ILL PUSH IT AND DO THE WHOLE 6 MILES, MAYBE HALF, JUST HAVE TO SEE, I DONT WANT TO UNDO WHAT IS BETTER,
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND GOOD WORDS,
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,
