News from the sidelines--Martha Parker

Oh my weekend was so much better than last weekend. On Saturday and I went to the gym for an hour and half. Walked/Ran 3.1 miles in 57 minutes--not my best time. (I am on call and I had a page right in the middle of the time.) On Saturday night I went to Laurel Little Theatre and enjoyed the CD release party for CenterTree, a local Christian group. Alex and Josh were both with me and we had such a great time. We also had family friends there with us and it was so cool when I arrived because my friends could tell I'd lost weight and I was wearing some clothes that had been pushed to the back of my closet. So I felt like a new woman at the concert.

On Sunday night, I went to church with my sister and we had a really great time with some family friends from Petal. (We were a little bit late getting there but I received a page and had to pull over and connect via laptop to the issue at hand.) Once that was resolved we continued on with the remainder of our trip.

I hope you will help encourage me this week, I really want to try and lose 2lbs this week. I am going to be pushing myself at the FG Wellness this week to meet my goal. I am drinking water, water, water this week. I am following my meal plan and working hard because this will all be over before we know it. November 20 is just around the corner now. One of our great friends will be crowned 2009 Biggest Loser and I am so proud of all our group.
