It's a Wrap

Last night I had ten friends over for a Wrap party. We all had our stomachs wrapped except one who had her thighs wrapped. Before and after pictures and everything. I don't just jump into things like this. I had seen people posting on FB about these drastic results they were getting after being wrapped. I didn't even know what that was. I finally found out and then two friends started selling them. I contacted one and she said that had she not seen the results with her own eyes she wouldn't have believed it. Out the door went the modesty. The girls came one by one into the bedroom to be measured, have before pics, and get wrapped. After an hour we unwrapped, remeasured, took the after pic, and rewrapped. I slept in my wrap. After the first hour I had lost an inch. This morning I woke up with three more inches gone and two pounds down. During the process you have to drink a ton and I mean a ton of water. I'm a little tired today because I was up multiple times going to the bathroom. :) I'm at 21 miles right now in my 100 miles in May challenge. I'm four miles behind where I need to be. I will catch up. I have a plan. It will happen. I am totally loving this challenge. Thanks again, Stephanie. We have a group on FB where we check in and it's so inspiring. Tonight I did some walking and in an effort to increase my mileage I started running. Tonight was a ten minute sprint followed by some five minute sprints. Where did this girl come from? Who is she? I'm hoping to get up in the morning for a four mile walk before work and then I'll do another 3-4 after work. This should get me back on track! I fell behind because being the chair of a 5k in 90 degree humid weather zapped my exercise effort for the day. The picture below describes how I feel about my effort in this challenge!

Saturday was the school district education foundation 5k. We have started from nothing and this is our fifth year. It was so inspiring to see so many people out there walking. My mom walked by herself. She was jamming to her tunes and booking it. She walked it in 52 minutes. I'm so proud of her. The participant that stole my heart was one of my fourth graders. She came with her mom who was running the event for the third year in a row. This mom runs marathons and her daughter decided she was going to do it too. I have to check her time again, but that little thing ran the whole thing. I ran across the finish line with her as I had tears in my eyes. Very inspiring. And on the job search... No interviews for next year yet....HOWEVER...I had a long talk with God on Sunday night. I told him I know he has a plan for me and I do trust him, but after being at the job search since January I was feeling a little frustrated and impatient. I told him I needed some encouragement. Less than 24 hours later I had a phone call asking me to be principal at one of our elementary schools for summer school. I heard you loud and clear God. I'm so excited. The school in which I taught for five years is where I get to go. WOOT WOOT! I kinda see that as a double sign. I've always had a dream of working as a principal there. Even though it's only for four weeks it counts on my list.
