Calm Before the Storm...

Well, we're in the calm before the storm. I got my blood drawn this morning for the labwork that PHC will use to determine my dietary needs. I can tell them they're going to find a lot of cheeseburgers and pizzas floating around in there! The girl at the lab was not extremely friendly, but she was very efficient, and the experience was nearly pain-free. (I hate needles.) I also went to see my doctor today, and with an EKG, an "open-your-mouth-and-say-ahhhh", and a few deep breaths, he determined that I am at least healthy enough to participate in Augusta's Biggest Loser. He did not, however, guarantee that I would survive!
 
Tomorrow (Thursday, November 5th) is the last day for the next six months that will not begin with a 5:30 AM workout. I feel like I'm about to join the army! I received emails from some of my teammates today who were talking about working out together on the "off days" (days without the trainer). I want to, but I suggested that we wait until after day one to decide if we can do day two right behind it!
 
We are all very excited, and ready to go... but I have not yet decided if my theme verse will be "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me", or "Master, carest thou not that we perish?"!!
