Friday!!

Hmmmm.  My first post in April.  This week has definitely flown by.  And with the new month I will be giving up the "Travel Girl" in the subject line.  Too damn annoying and I'm tired of it.

So.  Overall this has been a good week.  I was feeling fairly crappy on Monday so I didn't go to BURN, but I did see Tara on Tuesday morning.  I took Wednesday & Thursday off from working out - although yesterday I did a lot of walking.  I usually workout on Thursdays, but decided to get a pedicure instead.  Hey - I need to have nice toes for running in my very first race on Sunday!  Plus, I couldn't get an appointment with my girl next week - and since I'm going out to CA for the Zoo Zoom - well, I needed one.

This morning I saw my new (additional) trainer Jane and had a heck of a workout.  We did lots of drills and exercises that are helping me with my running.  She pretty much kicked my ass.  Luckily I'm taking tomorrow off before the race on Sunday.

Speaking of races, for those of you who watch The Biggest Loser, at the end of the last episode Jay mentioned he was trying to organize a race for the Beckwith-Wiedemann Children's Foundation, a disorder his daughter has.  Well, since he lives in the area I started looking to see if the race has been scheduled yet.  His wife wrote to me yesterday to let me know they are still trying to get things organized and will keep me updated.  I'll let you all know if I get to meet Jay and Mark!

I will check in after the race on Sunday.  That is, if I am able to move.  Have a great weekend!!

How awesome!

That would be too cool if you could meet Mark and Jay!  I love those guys! 

Good luck at the race and have tons of fun!

:)

I'm sending you lots of good luck vibes for the race on Sunday. I can't wait to hear all about it!

TBL

Indeed, that would be AWESOME.  If you do, please post TONS of pics.

Love and miss ya!

Super cool

I hope you get to meet Mark and Jay.  That would be really cool. 

I wish you well for Sunday!  You're going to do great!  I'm like all the others above, I can't wait to hear all about it. 

Take care! 

My plan!!!!

Oh I'd love to take a road trip to meet you and run a 5k!! Wouldn't it be fantastic if all of us could hang out for the weekend and then run together? Wow!!

I am counting calories. I use thedailyplate.com to determine how many calories I should be eating each day and then on each Monday when I weigh in I go back and readjust calories. Right now I have it set up to lose 2 lbs per week and I am supposed to eat around 1500 calories a day. Hope this helps you!

Yay You!

How exciting--your first race! What an awesome feeling of accomplishment and strength. Once I accomplished my first race I felt like I could do anything!

Definitely get pics for us! Good Luck!

Good luck on Sunday!

You're going to do just fine! Can't wait to read about all the details.

I am the biggest loser

The biggest loser blogger friend, ever! How do I not know you are running your first race tomorrow?! I have been so distracted with "life" that I am sooo behind on everything.

Anyhoo, GOOD LUCK and have fun tomorrow! I can't wait to read your race report! I also can't wait to meet you next weekend! We are going to have so much fun!
