It's Decided!

Because of scheduling changes at FBC, the FP4H class needed to be moved to Sunday evenings — a time slot I wasn't thrilled with.  Sunday evenings have traditionally been a time for me to chill-lax at home before the rush of a new work week hits.

But I decided that I needed the class and sacrificing my Sunday evening was a small price to pay for a smaller number on the scales.

Besides, change in inevitable, right?

Once I conceded that I could give up my Sunday evening for a smaller pant size, I started to think about other positives:

•  It might open the class to more people.
•  We won't be rushing from our jobs to get there on time.
•  Weighing in might help keep us 'on track' over the weekend (the hardest days as far as I'm concerned).
•  The encouragement I get on Sunday evening will inspire me to have a great week.

Orientation will be 6 p.m., Sunday,
Aug. 21 @ First Baptist Church, Rock Hill

I am committed to live the life God has called me to live, and if that means giving up "The Amazing Race" on Sunday nights.

So-be-it.

Head Games

Today is the Lake Wylie Splash Dash 2011.  I signed up the glow of my "Big Win" at the Thin Mint Sprint @ Carowinds last month.

This morning I've wondered, "What was I thinking…"

The hills are going to be steep, there will more experienced runners and it's going to be hot.

Still, there's hope that I won't embarrass myself.

Since my first 5k last November I have become stronger physically, I've lost 20 pounds, and mentally I am focused on my personal time I need to beat, 44.31.

So it really won't matter if I'm the last one across the finish line today.  I'm already a winner just for trying.
