So far the weekend has been amazing! What a great way to end a good week! Joe had his final performance of the season this weekend. He did so well. His wonderful personality just shines through when he is up on stage. The first night of the Joe was great…the 2nd night, much much better.
We had lots of friends come to see the show; Joe was so excited, he was beaming when I told him who was there to watch him. I can’t thank everyone enough for coming out to support him.
Although I thought Joe did great in his first performance, I saw so much improvement in this last one. The Charleston Youth Company has done such amazing work with him. The talent that these kids display is just incredible. We are so grateful to be a part of the CYC family.
I’m getting ready to run! I’m on week 2 of my running plan. Week 1 was good…week 2, well we will find out in just a little while. I’m actually having lots of fun with it. TJ and Joe were out there with me last weekend. TJ timed me and Joe rode his bike and encouraged me.
Preparing for this run is keeping me on track with my eating. I had an amazing “eating and drinking week”. I dropped 8 lbs.!!! When I got on that scale I just wanted to scream. I worked hard at it and it all paid off. I know that the more weight I lose the easier this run will be.
We ended a fitness challenge at work this week that started in January. So far, the people that weighed in did great! Some did better than I thought. It’s so exciting to see the progress. I only lost about 15 lbs. This was disappointing to me only because I allowed myself to get caught up in my emotional eating. But that’s behind me now…I’m moving forward and doing well.
Being back on track and losing weight again makes me want to tell the world. It’s such a good feeling. I just won’t let myself get excited because I’ve been stuck in this “yo-yo” stage for so long.
For instance, I was so excited about how well the few people who weighed in at work did in the challenge I emailed our trainer to share the great news yet I didn’t include my own results. Is it exciting? Yes, but its old news; it’s happened before…a few times before. There is a point that I know I need to reach; when I reach that point I will be out of my “yo-yo” stage. I want that day to come soon and when it does, you may just hear me scream and at that point you may not be able to shut me up about how well I’m doing and how great I feel. J So in the meantime, I’ll keep doing what I am doing and working hard at keeping my emotions in check.
My emotions are the problem. It’s not that I don’t know what to do, it’s not that I don’t think I can’t do it, I can, I have done it….and I will do it again.
