Had a great workout today with Shan'tell. She is such a good coach and trainer. On monday a bunch of us are getting together at the hospital front door and walking the 5K. Meeting time is at 4:30pm. Brittany and Brenda have already walked it twice. They will be our fearless leaders. I am glad to get a walk through before the big day.

Today was the last nutrition class. It will be sad to not see everyone all together anymore. It has been a fantastic learning adventure for me. I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. 100 days at the beginning seemed so far away. Now its only 15 days away!

Today is wed. Half way through the week. I can't believe how fast time flys. I had a great workout with Shan'tel on monday. She is still helping me discover new muscles. I can't believe how one little change in an exercise movement finds new areas of "wake up pain." ha ha

The weight is slowly and I do mean slowly coming off. This challenge had been "named" correctly. The heart challenge. I have been reflecting on how it has challenged my emotional heart as well as my physical heart these past weeks. It has been a hard wrestle with myself trying to change my bad habits. The accountability has been a real eye opening experience. It has been a reward to see such drastic improvements in my exercise stamina.

I can't believe it is raining again today. I was hoping for more nice exercise weather! I have been walking a lot in anticipation of the 5K that we are scheduled to do on May 22. Yep I am really worried about it. Our exercise with Shantell was excellent and I really discovered new areas that I need to work on.

It was nice to have a sunshine weekend. I walked around Temple square with the kids and my husband and really enjoyed walking and the exercise. I use to think we had to park "so far away" but now I didn't even notice until we were leaving how far we had walked just to get into the Temple grounds. It has really helped to get in shape!

It was raining yesterday morning so I walked the University mall for an hour. It was fun to see so many people that I know in there walking around for exercise. What a nice little secret place to get some exercise in. Plus I was window shopping and the same time. The best part of all was that the stores were closed so it didn't cost me anything and yet I know exactly where to go if I need a certain item. Not all the mall doors are open at 7 am but if you go thru the food court on the east side of the mall it is open. Again I was so excited to see so many of my friends in there exercising away!
