Jingle all the way!

Just got done doing the Jingle bell run with my two boys and it was great. The Jingle bell run is a fun 5k run put on by the arthritis foundation and it is tons of fun with people dressed up. I had signed everyone up as soon as I found out about it because its for a great cause and because it sounded like a fun outing. I think we did ok for the fact it was my kids first race and for the fact I think I've pulled my right quad muscle we did 3 miles in 47min. This week for me has been a very busy week on Tuesday I did an hour on the bike and then my team met up with Chris O'Hearn our life coach and personal trainer. He is such a great guy with tons of information. He talked to us about setting goals and how we are the author of our own stories. I believe this to be so true its only when we loose sight of our goals that we quit. I'm working very hard to keep my goals at the front of my thoughts at all times. On Wednesday I went to a class at the weight management center about stress. It was a very good class and I learned a lot about how type A and type B people handle stress and how they need to cope with that stress. The thing that I found the most interesting was the fact that Type A people (which I'm their queen) need to do exercises that they have to think about like tennis or taking a class, because if they do mindless exercise like walking or swimming they think about their problems and rehash them the whole time and it doesn't do a lot for the stress they are under. Type B people are the total opposite on the exercise they need to do things like walking so they can think about some of the things they need to get done. On Thursday I did an 30min on the treadmill when I got home from work because I was working late. On Friday I did an hour on the treadmill and then met up with my team and our coach Missy Kane at Market square to do an episode of live at 5 at 4. That was so much fun and it was great getting to be on TV. I'm glad we were able to see our other team mate Lee Ann who was having to stay at the studio because she is the producer of the show. I was so proud of her too when they showed the footage of her doing the stairs at work that is wonderful. Before I forget to tell you also in Monday's Knoxville News Sentinel the Covenant Healthwise page will also feature our team. There are so many exciting things going on and I'm so glad I have such great people to get to share it with. Also you can check out some additional info about our team, as well as links to some of my teammate's blogs here: www.covenanthealth.com/biggestwinner. I'm so very thankful every single day that I have been given this opportunity and I'm going to do everything in my power to do my best and to play it forward. Oh I forgot to tell you all also. I have made it a point to only get on the scale once a week because I stress so much if I don't see changes when I way everyday and this morning when I got on I had lost two more pounds. So that is 6lbs so far I was supper excited because I had not lost nothing in like a week or two so today was a great day. Well I guess I've told you all everything I can think of about my week. I'm going to go grab an ice pack and try to rest this quad so I can be 100% again. Thanks you all so much for supporting me, you have no idea what a blessing that is to me!
