Tara- Week Two!!!!! GO GIRL!!!!

I spoke with Tara yesterday.  The first thing out of my mouth to her was that I wanted her to do this because she is "real".  By that I mean she has a husband, 3 children, works, church commitments and a life.  We had a great time talking and she sent this to me to post.  I hope that you are encouraged and will encourage her.  We are still making changes as we go.  Next week will be GREAT!!!!  I can feel it already!!!!!!

Week Two         

Reality check.  Yes I am a real person, with a real job, real commitments and real setbacks.  This week was difficult.  The kids were back in town, I had vbs at church each night, it was hot, hot, hot outside and I had PMS.  A few things I learned this week is, caffine is not my friend.  Ask my hubby, my kids or my boss.  It took me about three days to realize why my pms was so bad.  My mantra H2O, H2O.  I cannot run outside in 95 degree weather no matter what kind of shape I am getting in.  A setback is not failure.  I realized that I need to figure out how to pace myself better.  I do one fast mile and one super slow mile.  If you know me I am all or nothing.  I have got to work on that this week.

So, I am in week three, encouraged that I am still motivated. This is not a sprint but a marathon and there will be good miles and bad. I am looking to catch my second wind this week. I am happy that Bob Harper convinced Pam that I can weigh in each week.  I am thinking about running a short race on Saturday.   I am happy about the foods I have on my menu and I am even okay that I ate a burger today.

Thanks for all of you are praying for me.  This week pray for me to stick to the scheduled times for working out and to drink my H2O.  Next week I will give you an update on any weight lost.
