This weekend was Relay for Life. It was a blast! We had track counter necklaces where every lap you'd add a bead so you could keep track of how many you did. I made a goal for myself to walk 10 miles and I thought that was really maybe not attainable so I wasn't gung-ho pushing myself, but as I got closer I realized it was quite doable and then some so I ended the 24 hours with 13 miles walked. Really sore last night, but after the hot shower I took, only a little bit this morning.
Now the disappointment came this morning when I stepped on the scale. I would have thought with all that exercise I could have at least maintained, but I put on 2 lbs. No worries, though, I was going back on phase 1 this morning anyway and since I've basically been doing the maintance program where you don't keep real close track of what you eat, I'll be doing phase 1 for 2 weeks and starting over. I will lose 80 lbs this year! :o)
It was a fun Ecclesiastical weekend with a time for everything: tears and laughter and fun and seriousness. There's so much more I could write about my experiences, but children call and errands need done so I mustn't spend all day on the computer. You'll just have to try a Relay for Life for yourself to see what they're all about and those that have know what I'm talking about already. :o) Have a great day!
