ouch

So I had a 3 lb weight gain and 3 boys beat me in the mile yesterday..... 2 for 2.

The mile I didn't mind so much, we had a really great time, and the kids were so great with each other. One of the boys who beat me, his dad came and ran the mile too. He is in the army, and he looks to be in shape so I was like oh great I'm really going to embarass myself now. He stayed with the three boys in the front, and he was so encouraging and great with them. After the three boys finished he kept running and cheering the rest one. When everyone finished there was still one boy left, he had a 1 more lap left. The dad ran with him, and I took the rest of the class and met him half way and we cheered and ran with him. He cut 4 minutes of his mile time and got the HOT SHOT of the day in PE. I don't think I have ever seen him so happy and proud. Today we are going to write a thank-you card to the dad for all his help!!

As for my WI.... not feeling so good about that. I knew it would be a gain with my monthly visitor and unhealthy choices but that didn't make the blow any easier. But I went to the store last night and got some fruits and other healthy items..... so hopefully next WI I can be back to where I was!!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Mom I hope you feel better!!

I'm up

I got up at 9 ate some cereal....went back to sleep....til about 11:30...feel somewhat better.....thinking I really need to exercise today since I didn't yesterday.

Sorry about the 3 lbs

I will not do the same girly things with Molly that you had planned.....I didn't know you planned massages too.   I'll think of something....although shopping with her depresses me...with her little "I guess I'll never get back into a size 0 and size 3 will have to do" self.  Whatever

The mile

Well if only two boys finished ahead of you that means you finished ahead of all the rest 

Im sure those 3lbs will be gone next week!

No worries!

Those 3 lbs. will be gone before you know it.  They were just a reflection of how WELL you celebrated your birthday this week, so.....congratulations!  We all need to celebrate ourselves every now & then.  

Good job on running that mile with your 2nd graders!  Don't be embarrassed; those little bugger can be fast!  And, I really like JulieW's outlook:   3 beat you, but how many did YOU beat?   16-17?
