The Biggest Loser

So I have been in a competition with 35 other ladies in Herriman...The Biggest Loser!
I am happy to say that I have lost 6 pounds and am still going strong! I am also very excited to say that last night I hit a mile stone in my life! Just to preface this, I have always hated to run...when I say hate, I really mean that too. I ran the mile in a p.e college class in 18 minutes and thought I was going to die! Huge side aches and everything! Well, since then, I have recommited myself to losing weight, and after having 3 kids, I am a much better runner than I was in college!

Last night, while watching the Biggest Loser, I ran 5 1/2 miles!!!!!!!!
Do you know how huge that is for me? I have been running 3 miles for a few weeks now, but 5 1/2?? That is a record for me and the funny thing is, I didn't have a side ache and I felt so awesome afterwards! I think it was all about being distracted while running-I was so into my show that I was shocked to see how many miles I had run!

So-I will keep you posted on my biggest loser competition! As of right now, I am 7th place out of 35 ladies. 1st place gets $300, 2nd Place gets $150, and then there is a 3rd, 4th, 5th place---but I am aiming for the $300!!! Any motivation for me would be great because I need all of the help I can get!!!!!
