Disappointment - couldn't get up and do my 5am 5k today, had stomach issues that required I take the extra hournof sleep. However I will be back at it tomorrow! :-)
Good news - down another 1.6 pounds!
Please keep Jocelyn on your prayers. Shes lost weight (which is not good) and she had a seizure yesterday. They are running tests and waiting for answers.
Happy Thursday, may it be filled with many blessings.

Need a pick me up, but you aren't using sugar, caffeine and you don't want any of the energy drinks on the market? I have found something I love!!! Natural Energy Drink I'm in love with the Bright 'N Early! I've even mixed it with the coconut water and LOVE IT! Enjoy!
IRUN4 buddy/Jocelyn: The fever is back :( Pray, pray, pray to help her return to normal. This is really tiring her out.

Finally did it
So it was official weigh in this morning, a loss of 2.3 pounds!!! Which is huge all by itself. Then you add that I have busted the 10lbs lost mark, another huge success. But wait there's more, does this sound like an infomercial yet?, I have been watching, and waiting and watching, to break below 260. I was painfully going down by tenths of a pound ... then this morning 258.9! I not only broke below 260 I smashed it by 1.1 lbs!! I am happy dancing all day today!!!
These next two weeks the mimaw is with us (hubbys mom) so her and I have decided that each day, besides Sunday, we will get up at walk a 5k before I have to go to work. That means 5am we walk out the door, so I can be back and showered in time to catch the carpool .i.e. the hubby to leave for work. Needless to say my mornings are a little more rushed than I would like and I'm feeling pretty exhausted by the end of the day - but I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't know where I would fit a workout in right now if I wasn't getting up, but with out her there I think my brain might find excuses to stay in bed. :) We finished day 3 today. This Saturday I will walk the 5k with her and then I will do another 5k to make a 10k for the Mother's day virtual 10k for my buddy Jocelyn.
I am asking for extra prayers for Jocelyn as she had to go to the hospital yesterday evening. Her fever went higher and her platelet counts are really low. When Jocelyn gets sick her marrow is attacked. This girl, she always finds a smile! She keeps me rolling. There is no excuse I could ever come up with that could counter act her influence in my life.
Happy Wednesday, may it be filled with many blessings.

Tuesday - Pray for Jocelyn
Jocelyn got some results yesterday ... not the greatest, but it gives them more things to test. I am asking for prayers for the fever to go away and her counts to go back up.
Mimaw and I have conquered day 2 of the 5 am 5k! It feels good, I am tired, but glad we are doing it.
Here is the update from Jocelyn's page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hope-for-Jocelyn/351637158314602)
Buddy [Jocelyn] has to have a glucose test done the test is 5 hours long we will hear tomorrow when that will be done her body is not making glucose at all it took the doctor's 3 hours to come up with a plan they never saw this kind of sugar levels they are thinking about a insulin pump for during the day...while we were at CHOP buddy's [Jocelyn's] fever spiked to 102 so they sent us to the lab for a blood culture and a CBC the CBC came back and buddy's [Jocelyn's] white blood cell count is 2 it is supposed to be around 10 so they are really worried about that also her red blood cell count is only 8 so if it drops to 7 she will need a blood transfusion so hopefully it doesn't drop to 7
Happy Tuesday! May it be filled with many blessings.

Uffta Back to Monday!
What a Crazy week! If you've been following the posts you know all about it. We are still down one vehicle. We are awaiting a part that hopefully will fix the problem. So this week is more morning time with the hubs on the drive in.
We also have the Mimaw with us for the next two weeks and her and I made a plan, each morning we are getting up before I have to leave (which means 5 am) and we are walking a 5k. Its great to have someone to workout with at that hour of the morning. However, I am feeling a bit tired this afternoon. I have a bag of nuts for an afternoon snack that will hopefully give me a little more energy.
Other than that life is going back to its normal routine.
Update on IRun4 buddy Jocelyn (including pictures):
She is back at CHOP today to have the glucose monitor taken out, and hopefully get some answers. Then Tuesday and Thursday back for PT! Thursday is Pool time PT! She woke up with a fever today - please pray that this goes away - fevers are a very scary thing in her world. They can mean hospital says.
And the much awaited Prom pictures:
Happy Monday! May it be filled with many blessings!

Happy Monday - Tutu pictures
Happy Monday morning to you all!!! Go a nice run in with my tutu on Saturday. It was back to being humid in Florida, but its all good, just means I'm strengthening my lungs more.
I promised pictures of the tutu so here is the in process and the finished product of mine and Joceyln's tutu's and our running shirts!!! Hope you enjoy and much as I did making them.
Please pray for Jocelyn she is having a lot of pain and her tube is bleeding, they go back to CHOP on Tuesday and hopefully the doctors can help. She also starts intense physical therapy on Tuesday because her vertebraes are smashed up against her ribs and her spine is shaped like a S.
Joy is still in the hospital - she is doing well thought she has grown and inch and after dropping some weight is gaining weight again.
Happy Monday, may your day be filled with many blessings.
P.s. If you wouldn't mind could you please help spread the word about the 5k race I'm helping organize - its on April 19th at 5:30 pm. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Egg-Scramble-5k/382247451904728
