221 lbs.
3.5 lbs. lost/23 lbs. lost total
$5/lb. pledged
$115 raised so far

I weighed in at home again this week. The price of gas is going to be making it difficult to drive the 40 miles round trip to the Fuse stations. I'm bummed, because I love chatting with Sara and Eli, and sharing our successes and challenges.

I'm very pleased with the 3.5 pounds I lost the past two weeks. Especially since on Memorial Day weekend I went camping, and went completely off the wagon. I do have to confess, that cheeseburger I had, the first since the beginning of April, tasted soooo good. But, now I'm back on track.

I start Boot Camp this evening. I'm very nervous. Growing up, I hated P.E. I've never been fast, or coordinated. I was always the slowest one in the class, and was very self-conscious because of it. I also had a teacher (Mrs. Cerny), who didn't grade on effort, but performance, and gave me the only C's of my academic career. I'm trying to keep in mind all I can do is just do my best, and if it's slower than the rest of the participants, so be it. But those childhood experiences still cast a cloud over it. Please pray for me, that I do well, and maintain a positive attitude during Boot Camp.
