Today was a very exciting day! I won $500.00 cash! $100 worth of Anytime Fitness training, a vase full of 100 red roses, my house that is decorated with 100 "100" posters, (that were carefully decorated by Renee, Madilynn & Daniel) 100 balloons, 100 lbs of sidewalk salt (representing the 100 pounds I had lost) and all kinds of personal email messages posted all over the house. Why? You ask? All as a celebration of losing 100 POUNDS!

Journal Entry 1

6/18/10 – WOW, Sara Jespersen left and we have NO food, our cupboards are empty! Going to the lake for the weekend - Sara said we would talk/shop for food after Monday’s workout! Renee and I had an apple for snack instead of ice cream!

We spent the weekend at the lake. We again ate pretty well, but we did indulge in a small lean steak! I went for longer jogs and Renee went for walks, however her hip really flared up and she was in tears by the time she returned to the cabin. I felt pretty bad for her. She has a knee replacement and her main issues appear to be ligaments in her hip. Kind of crazy!

Well, its been a crazy weekend, did some extra running on Friday while the kids played at the park and then I mowed the lawn, not a whole lot – but my body is feeling pretty sore!! We went to the lake on Friday afternoon, and I brought workout clothes with, intending on working out both Saturday and Sunday. We ate really well on Saturday and Sunday, but the weekend was crazy and I didn’t get any exercise in. Tomorrow, we weigh in and train with Sara, hopefully will see good things on the scale! As an aside, my body is not totally sore anymore!
