Color Run Pictures....FINALLY!

I finally got my pictures to load....it took awhile to figure out how to make it work....there aren't very many but enjoy!

This is me before the Color Run..... notice the clean white shirt.... :)

This is our crew after the Color Run.....notice the not so clean shirts..... best experience ever.  If you ever get a chance to do the Color Run you will love it.  I highly recommend it. :)

I will run for color anyday....any time....! 

Color Run SLC 2012

I have never had so much fun during a 5K.  The Color Run 2012 was certainly worth the $35.00 entry fee.  They gave everyone a bumper sticker, color packet, headband, tattoos and a Color Run T-Shirt.... it was seriously a blast.  I think my son was a little freaked out in the beginning because it was so loud and there was so many people and he wasn't really sure what to expect, but once we started going he had so much fun!  It is so fun to go through the color explosion areas and the 5K wasn't so bad, there were a few small inclines but nothing hard and totally worth it.  I think it was the most fun that I have had in a long time.  This year I didn't run any of the Color Run however next year I plan to run the entire thing.  I am just not up to speed to run the run and I haven't gotten my new shoes for running yet (they come in next week).  I am so excited because next year we are doing the Color Run as well as another run here called the Haunted Halloween Run which is a half marathon.  I have so many fun things to do this year and I can't wait to experience each and everyone of them. 

I went to drop off my food donation at WW today for the lose for good campaign.  It seems that it turned out pretty good.  I also got my free measuring cups today.  I am excited and I hope they pull my name out of the drawing for the $250.00 gift certificate to Kohls!  I mean who wouldn't be excited to WIN!!

I will post some Awesome photos from the color run as soon as my phone starts working and will let me post them :)

Weight Watchers - Color Run

I went to my WW meeting on Monday and surprisingly it wasn't a bad thing..... My leader when I joined reminded me that if you start on a Wed., and then come on a Monday that you might not see a huge loss..... here are my Results -

Starting:  310

Loss: -4.8

Current Weight:  305.2

 

 

I am certainly not going to be complaining about those numbers! 

 

I am so excited tonight is a good friend of mines Birthday, and tomorrow is the Color Run.... I can't wait to go get all messy and colored and hang out with good friends.  This weekend is proving to be full of good things and lots of excitement. :)  I am certainly enjoying my ride. 

 

 

WW Lose for good campaign is also kicking off its food drive this weekend.  So if you have any food that you would like to donate for a good cause stop by your WW location and drop off canned foods.  It is worth it and it is for a great cause.  I am so excited to be part of this and be part of this Awesome journey.  It hasn't always been easy for me and I am sure there will be lots of struggles along this path that I am starting for myself, but it is going to be worth it and I am so excited to be starting it.  I can't say that my life would be different if I had made different turns and things....but at this point I am glad I made the choices I did and took the steps I did because it certianly made me who I am today.  I can't ever change me and I am thankful for that. :)  Enjoy your weekend, because I know that I am going to enjoy mine.  Also thanks for reading and sticking with me. :) 

Weight Watchers

So I was inspired to try WW again..... I have done WW several times in the past so I know that it works.  I am excited to start on this program and I am super happy with my choice to go with this option.  I have been counting calories for 60 days now and just don't feel like my calorie counting is making a huge difference.  My weight on the WW scale was so much different then the weight on the scale at my Dr. office and my huge 14 pound loss that I thought I had wasn't exactly a 14 pound loss, but still a loss..... so I will put it out here again for everyone to see my starting weight with WW is:

Starting Weight:  310

 

I am using that as my starting point and I will start to post what losses I have had as of my next WW meeting.  My WW meeting is a short week this week because I started on a Wednesday, however I will be going to meetings on Monday nights.  So I will be short a couple of days this week.  I really am so excited to be sharing this journey with as many people as possible.  I know I have bad weeks and I know I have good weeks but the key is that you get back on track as much as possible and know that you are doing this for you and only you and that you are the one who matters the most. 

 

 

I am so excited about the color run coming up next weekend.  I can't wait and I am happy to share it with some really fun people!!  This is going to be an exciting day and I can't say that I am going to run the race because I am not really in any shape to be running outside yet as I am still trying to master walking/running on the treadmill, but I am working my way up to being able to do whatever I put my mind to and at next years finish line I will be running across the finish line because I am setting my mind to be able to do that. :)  I am loving this journey and just hope that at one point I will inspire someone who is going through the same thing that I am.  I am inspired everyday at some of the blogs I read and hope to one day be that inspiration that someone else will need to say that they can also do this!!  The Journey begins here. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
