Race day is coming....

I got my race packet today!!!! I got my t-shirt and my bib and I am SO excited for this race, the bib makes it SO real :D I haven't done much training lately but I'm still feeling good about this race. I also found out that 2 of my friends are running this race as well, so it'll be nice to have some familiar faces down there in the sea of people.

Today is 10 years since my mother passed away...10 years since I lost my best friend and felt like my world crumbled. Look how far I have come... my job, my schooling, and just my life in general. I know I wouldn't have made it without the rest of my family but I know I would have already been on track LONG AGO if she was still around. It's taken some time to get there, but she's been pointing me in the right direction.

When I saw my race packet today, I thought well this is a sign, a sign of how proud of me she is, a sign that I'm doing the right thing and a sign that the appointment I had yesterday was exactly what I needed to do. Sometimes I ask for so much from her and I get so upset when I don't get it, but then something like this happens and now well I can't stop smiling...

Thank you mom, for everything you gave me and everything you keep giving me!

YAY for a loss!

So today was just a relaxing day we didn't do much because we were stuck in our room all day again...snow this morning and then rain all day, plus day 2 of picture day. We celebrated Philies Day in my classroom, we made a philly phanatic and cut out a hole for their face... so cute! We decorated sugar cookies with red "P"s and had soft pretzels for snack. We also sang "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" all in all a fun day! Eating was okay today, I had fruit for breakfast but it didn't settle well with my stomach, not sure what's going on but it seems like EVERYTHING is making my stomach hurt.

Pictures will have to wait for tomorrow because I left my camera at work and will have to grab it tomorrow but I did my weigh in..... 146.5lbs!!! WHOOOOHOOO!!!! This morning I cheated and weight myself and it said 145lbs!! I was so excited to see that number... I love it! I felt really great in a shirt today that I was always afraid to wear because it felt to tight, even my boss told me I looked great in it, it really fit my shape! So pictures tomorrow!!!
