Hello all! So, this morning, my parents and I went on our usual Sunday morning walk/run, and I think I did more running than I've done to date! And I'm soooooo sore. And then my parents and I spent the afternoon building agility obstacles for our dogs. All in all, it was a very productive day. And we are having tilapia for dinner! Yummy!
I want to thank you all for your support in my journey. It really truly means so much to me. I love you all for that support. And as for my goal of running the Disney Princess Half Marathon next February at Walt Disney World, I would love to have some friends and family join me!! Please let me know if you want to accomplish 13.1 miles with me!!

New Developments
Hello, my lovely friends and family!
Last week, I slipped a little on the exercise, but I'm back to running! Yesterday and today, I ran further than I have in the past, so I'm really proud of that accomplishment. :) Right now, I can run to the next street over without stopping, and then I walk about a quarter block, then run to the next street, then walk about half of the next block, then run to the stop light. My next fitness goal is to be able to run to the stop light without stopping, which, sadly, is only about half a mile. But, to use the cliche, you have to walk before you can run! After I conquer that goal, I'd like to be able to run to the fire station, then to the fire station and back to my house. I'm feeling pretty good about being able to meet my goals fairly soon.
Also, I found a 5K that I really want to run in. Wow! I never thought I'd say that. I already promised my mom that I would run the community 4th of July 5K with her, but I found another one in June that sounds like SO much fun. Its called the Neon Splash Dash, and it is at the OC Great Park in Irvine on June 14th. If you have any interest in running with me, let me know!! I would love to have a team to run with.
My parents and I watched the season finale of the Biggest Loser on Monday. I was so happy that Danni won! I've been rooting for her all season. I feel this connection with her, because her story seems so similar to mine. I realized just two nights ago that if she can do it, so can I. And if I look as kick-ass as she did in her finale dress, there will be nothing that can stop me. I love it when I find new inspiration!
Thank you all again for you spoken and unspoken support. It all means a lot to me, no matter how you show it. I love you all for that!

Your Comments
Hi, everybody!! I was getting very frustrated with the Guest Book on my website, and I finally figured out how to actually see the comments that were being posted!! I didn't think that anyone was really looking, but seeing all the pending comments made me so happy, I teared up a little! I went on another run with my mom today. She is so nice to stay at my pace and not leave me behind. I love her. I'm feeling good! Hopefully I hit my Easter goal weight! I love you all!

Gone Running
Hey everybody!! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was getting a little discouraged. But the other day, my dad encouraged me to go running, and I actually did!! I didn't make it very far, but I did push myself. The next day, it was raining and hailing and all that stuff, so I just did a little workout in the gym. Both yesterday and today I ran, and I am proud to announce that I have finally gotten under 285. This morning, when I got on the scale, I was 284.2. I hope to be even smaller tomorrow!! I am feeling good about myself again, and I am going to use that to push myself further and further every day!
On another note, I have been receiving many words of encouragement lately, and I am very thankful for it. Thanks to all of you who have said something to me in passing. It really means a lot to me, and seems to come at a time when I really need that encouragement. Thank you for all of your support! I'll try to post more regularly.
