Tonight I am extremely grateful for all the support my church family is giving me. Our Sunday School class, about 50 people, started clapping when I announced that I had lost 7.4 more pounds last week. I'm getting all the "you look so good" comments already - I wonder what I will look like in 6 months when we reach the finale!
We are all going through some aches and pains right now... for some reason, it's been a tough week. But as my teammate Lisa pointed out, we've had some good times at workouts this week. We celebrated our trainer's birthday on Wednesday, we got to go outside and run some pseudo-sprints in an empty lot, and we've all been working very hard.
I met up with Nandy at the gym today for some treadmill time. Lisa was going to try to come, I think, but we didn't see her. I could write a whole post about each of my teammates, but Nandy and I have a lot of things in common. We both moved around as kids, both were in the band and non-athletic, and we're both burger/pizza people. To a person, everyone on our team talks about her sunny disposition and the way she lights things up when she's around. We are blessed to have her on our team!
Maybe in a future post soon I will take the time to write about all my teammates, because they each bring something different to the mix. If any of them are reading this, you guys are the absolute best, and I already know that if I needed something, I could count on each of you! Shared experiences build strong bonds.
It's well past my bedtime, and it has been a typically exhausting Sunday. Grabbed some lunch right after the morning service - we went to Ryans, and I am proud of myself. Baked chicken (no skin), collard greens, green beans, and salad. No rolls, no macaroni, no desserts! Then straight to the gym, and just about straight back to church after that.
