339

This morning Anna & headed to the church for playgroup. When we arrived the parking lot was empty. I must have misunderstood the date/time. Then we dropped in at my friend Sarah's house. Anna really enjoys playing with her 3 kids, and I enjoy just chatting with Sarah. She is from England and has a neat accent.

We made it home just in time to heat up some chicken noodle soup and have Anna eat before the bus came. I met Tyler at the fitness center on-base. We played raquetball and walked around the track. I have come to a decision. I want to walk in the half marathon next summer. I know, I know, you're supposed to "Run" a marathon. Well, I can't run, but I can walk. Right now I'm walking 2 miles every day. I think I will add one mile each month and I should be up to 10 miles by next summer. I am excited at this goal and hope you can all support me in it. I have decided to keep track of my weight as I continue on this exercise regiment. And yes, I weigh 339. I know that probably sounds crazy to many of you. I have been overweight my whole life and I think that now I will be able to make this weakness strong. Please lend me your support as I continue in this endeavor.

Tomorrow a friend of mine will be singing in a classical recital. I am unable to attend because of a missionary opportunity with Daisy. I feel terrible that I can't be there. I emailed her that I wouldn't be coming, then Tyler suggested that I call and explain to her. I called her and she seemed upset that I won't be there. I simply feel awful about it. I wish that I could do everything and not ever upset anyone. Emily, if you read this-I am sorry. Good luck tomorrow!

I'm very proud of you, Jill. You can do it! You are off to a great start, just keep your momentum going. I think I'm going to start blogging about my diet when I start. I think having it out there gives it more accountability. Be sure to keep me posted!
