Well I'm equal parts nervous and excited for tomorrow morning. I'm nervous because of the cold weather, having only been on the treadmill and not outside, and...well...it being my first 5K and all. I know many will finish before me and many will finish after. And I am okay with that. My only goal is to finish it in 50 minutes or less. I'm so excited for this race I already have my eyes and heart set on the Run Into the Wild 5K where we can run around the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg by the lion, tigers and bears. How cool is that? I just pray I don't injure myself trying to overdo it.
Anyway. Here I am...soaking my legs and muscles in a lovely hot bath of Epsom salt, frankincense and lemongrass oils. It smells fantastic. Afterwards I'll rub any sore spots with my beloved Deep Blue lotion and go to bed smelling like a giant Wint-o-green Lifesaver. Mmm.
I am excited for my future in regards to my health...for once. I only pray I can keep all this going. I hope I meet lots of new friends through this DietBet as I currently have none, and I hope I am capable of losing the 4% in 4 weeks. God knows I will try and try hard.
I may have little to no support here at home, but that's okay. I'm doing this for me. And for my babies. I can do it!!
