I Did it! I WANT to do it Again!!

Tonight I was the 5K for my Weight Watchers. I HAD a blast. I'm still kind of energized. It went fabulously. I went with a friend. We walked a week ago, after our Meeting just to see how we were doing. We did 5K last Wednesday night in about 59.minutes. Tonight? We did our 5K in 49m13seconds!!! and we did it for us? And WOW does it ever feel accomplished to sign up for something and say you did it! i'm so awesomely Proud of me and my walking friends.

I only wish I had thought to take my camera and actually take a picture of me and my friend crossing that line! It wasn't a ribbon or anything cool you see other people walking through but it was still our finish line. We hung around the finish for a bit too and cheered on some more of the walkers there tonight with us for the walk. I tried to look like a mii (wii character) Jumping up and down at the end of the "run" when you do the wiifit run! haha!

I couldn't stop talking when I got home. I'm pretty sure my Hubbie is still rolling his eyes at me. I didn't want to sit down either. Energized! I'm energized. I did a load of laundry, I stood at the sink and did a load of dishes, and now I'm looking for something to do. You should see my fingers flying across the keyboard? Is this what "High?" feels like? wow!!!

mood of the day? Accomplished, Happy and Energized!! :) GO ME!


(I didn't weigh-in this week I'll visit the altar of truth next Wednesday night)

That is fantastic! Congratualtions to you and your friend. I had a great day too, much more mandane than running a 5K, but isn't great the feeling you have when you accomplish a goal.

Yeah! Well done you! Would love to complete a 5K but my training has been sidelined on account of my hurt back. =(

Just to be clear peeps and Cheerleaders this was a WALK. I'm sure I'd have concussion problems if I tried to RUN this. :P

Yay!! Congrats!!! I'm walking on my treadmill and have just started getting to 4miles regularly in a 75 minute time frame. I'm trying to kick that up a notch, but I hate fast walking-I would rather do a slow jog, but my knees would rather I sit on the couch with ice cream. It's a constant battle between me and those knees....but I'm winning this year!!!!

Keep up the good work!

Hi... again! I posted my email on my blog. SO you can email me if you like. I also posted my business website (which I'll not post here - lest you mistake me for spam). Looking forward to more plans for the support group of IT wives.

I am so stinking proud of you. You're kicking ass and taking names. My advice is to avoid the scale. Throw it away. It's our enemy. Just be happy when your jeans are too loose.
