Transformation Update From Tara

I was so excited to get this e-mail!!!!!  YEAH!!!!! TARA!!!!!


I Love Running!!!

Sorry, that I missed updating last week.  I don’t even remember week 4, so, I told Pam that I am using my do-over card.  With that being that case week “4” has started with a blast.  Okay so maybe saying I Love running is a little bit of a stretch but that is what I keep telling myself.  For the last 3 days in a row as I ran I kept telling myself I love running.  I went 3 miles tonight and ran almost the whole first mile completely.  I know that is not the plan but I just can’t stand it. I will not get on here and complain any more.  I will not complain when I run with Pam anymore. I am choosing to be thankful:  Thankful I am up and moving, Thankful that it is finally cooler, Thankful that I have a plan, Thankful my husband is running with me( we will not talk about the part that he did 4 miles in 44 minutes last night).  I have figured out a few things about myself.  I like running alone because I am too competitive to be the slowest and I don’t like being last.   I like running in neighborhoods because I can focus on something other than myself.  I like timing myself, enough said.  I like that my kids see that this isn’t easy but I hope I can teach them perseverance and discipline.  I like that my hubby is squeezing my backside a little more often or maybe I just enjoy it more because it doesn’t feel like a batch of bread dough.  I am drinking more water, thanks for the tip Sarah, and eating less at night.  I am getting in the cardio and doing push ups and sit-ups each day.  All in all I think this is a success.  I have a goal of 15 pounds in 6 weeks.  We have a wedding to go to and I want to look smokin’ for my sweetie.  Keep praying.  Thanks for all the encouragement and accountability.
