I have never been a runner. In fact, my dad was my softball coach growing up, and used to throw tennis balls at me while I was running to encourage me to run faster. It sounds harsh, I know, but he wasn't really mean about it. The truth of the matter, though, is that it didn't work, it just made me scared of getting hit by the balls as I was running. Nice try, Dad!

Those are great goals Hope! We can do it if we just stick to it! I'm looking forward to comparing next month's picture with this month's picture.
I remember having your dad as our softball coach in elementary school! I thought he was great--probably because he never threw tennis balls at me. :)
I think this blog is a great idea--I love before and after stories! I have also committed to reach my goal weight by my 40th this year. We can do it!
Mirien,
Thanks for checking out our blog. I hope to have a great "after" story. We WILL be 40 & FABULOUS! Good luck on getting to your goal weight!

Drinking my water so much now that I don't even hardly (I said hardly didn't I?)think about pop....um maybe alittle I do. But my intake of that has decreased majorly!! Thanks for your blog & keep up the great work your doing!!
