Lots of Great Things....

What a great weekend!  So busy, so much fun…lots of GREAT things happening and falling into place.  So where do I begin…

Baseball season is over!  Bittersweet for sure.  We will now have Saturdays to get things done around the house BUT we are bummed that the season is over.  What an awesome group of kids and an amazing bunch of parents!  We all had a great time spending practically the entire day together yesterday, the kids got a long great; the parents enjoyed each other’s company.  We had a great dinner and awards ceremony that was topped off with lots of silly string and the RiverDogs game.

I’m very PROUD of Justin!!  He came so far this season.  He worked hard and focused more than ever.  He had great hits and made some awesome plays.  We are going to be putting lots into over the summer as far as diet, exercise, and a few different types of therapies.  He is such a sweet and amazing little boy…love him to death J

I’m also so proud of TJ!  His eating has been great and he has lost 12 lbs. in about 10 days!  How great is that?  He’s been working hard…perfect timing as we are ready to get the entire family on the same page.

As for myself…doing well with my running.  This weekend I had to run/walk for a certain amount of time. I did pretty well with it but forgot my timer (Boooo) so I had to count.  I’m planning on getting a more accurate one in during the week…possibly Tuesday afternoon. 

I’m excited about the improvement I’m making with my running.  Brent had pointed out improvements and, when I was running with some friends, Keri told me how much better my running is.  She actually showed me the goose bumps she got from watching me run.  How awesome is she for feeling that way about my running improvement!  I am BEYOND BLESSED to have people like Keri, Brent, and all of the many people who are supporting me.

Been back on Paleo for a little while now.  It feels good!  I eased myself into but I am ready to dive back into the regimen of eating clean and doing an intermittent fast once a week.  It’s time to take this ½ marathon training to the next level!  I’m hoping that in the process of training, I will shed some weight.  I know that after working so hard on running during my Wednesday workouts the last thing I want to do is eat.  One because I’ve been feeling nauseas and two, because I feel like I burned some serious fat and calories.

I’m excited about so many things…need to stay focused and keep praying.  To everyone who is helping me and supporting me…I thank you, I love you…I couldn’t do this without you!
