Well, how wonderful. I took my measurements yesterday, and low and behold I have dropped a total of 31 inches from all over my body... arms, waist, abdomen, hips, thighs, and calves. I am astounded at this feat. It has been almost 12 weeks total that I was on the Body for Life (BFL) program, and I have lost that many inches. I am at 17.6 pounds total weight loss, which is another wonderful feat! This is over 7 % of my total body weight.
BFL is an amazing program. God is wonderful for allowing and assisting my progress on a daily basis.

I Did IT! Completed my first 5K Race
Well Praise Jesus, and thanks to God's grace I managed to finish my very first 5K race. I walked it in 58:18, with a "net time" of 57:37. My pace was: 18:33 minutes/per mile. I finished 35th in my age group (50-54), and 1125 over-all in a group of 1614. I am so greatful to the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and to God for carrying me that last mille when my ankle and knee were killing me, and my left foot was so numb that my toes were tingling!.
I was so ecstatic, elated, and exhausted at the end. I also felt pumped with the spirit of our Lord in my veins. The music I listened to while walking was many Christian rock and fast paced gospel music.

BACK ON TRACK - Lost 3 pounds!
Hurray! I lost 3 more pounds this week. Finally, after a little backslide. I am very pleased. I am at 17 pounds & a little over 5% of my starting body weight is GONE!
Don't forget to watch me at my very first 5K (walk)Run. The Twilight 5K run at South Miami. 6 PM, Sunday June 7th. Next to Town Kitchen and Bar 7301 SW 57 Ct, South Miami, FL
I probably will take at least 1 hour to complete the walk. Hope some of my friends will come out to cheer me on in the finish!
