The Fruits of My Labor

I've lost 10 lbs! I like a good even number like that. hehe I've been working my butt off these last two weeks, so I'll take it!

Tread & Shed was good last night.. I'm not going to the gym today or Saturday, but I hope to do a 3 mi. walk on Sunday. I need to get in shape for the Bridge Run 10k! I officially signed up! At first I was all excited about it but now I'm kinda freaked out! I don't want to be last! So I'm trying to just keep building up my endurance.. I have until March 27 to train. Eek! And according to Renee, it's dorky to wear your free t-shirt when you run, so now I have to figure out what to wear too. ;) http://www.bridgerun.com/

Speaking of which, I need to buy more workout clothes! I have like three pairs of pants and I'm constantly washing my clothes so I can get my gym bag ready for the next day. Not to mention, the sports bras I ordered online from Champion are on back order until possibly the beginning of March... So I DEFINITELY need to remedy that situation. Maggie and I might go to Dick's (Sporting Goods, that is) tonight to check out their selection. I've looked online, but since I'm so short, I'd like to try things on to make sure they fit. Just another excuse to shop!

And I'm not holding myself to anything... But I *hope* I lose another 10 lbs. by the time I go to NY next month?? The clock is ticking!

Go Liz! You are so fired up. I love it!

Yeah, I'm a tad freaked out now that I've officially signed up. Especially after my walk last night. The tops of my feet hurt so bad (like where they bend when you walk?). Bruce said I must have been walking to fast. Yeah, if I walked any slower I'd be at a stop. LOL! I have MUCH work to do before March 27th!

YEA Liz!! your hard work is paying off!!

Ok yes I think it is dorky to wear the tshirt...Ha! But I'll tell ya you will see a lot of people wearing them that day. Oh and you are NOT going to be last!! You have plenty of time to train and I bet you are going to surprise yourself!

Keep up the good work girl!!

hehe Go, girl! I know that physically I can do the 6.2 mi... I'm just freaked out about HOW LONG it'll take me! Maggie said the people who came in last in last year's race were like in their 60's. haha SURELY, I can beat that?! Let's hope.....
