Setting a Mini Goal


Happy Wednesday night everyone...Again...I am posting late!  It has been some kind of busy week so far!  I hope all of you are having a great week and have made it over the "hump"...Two days til the weekend and less than 48 hours until weigh in #5. 

I don't know about you guys but sometimes I need a goal within a goal...Something I can work towards  amidst trying to reach the big ticket goal!!!!  I have had a few things in mind but nothing has really jumped out at me until today.  I must tell you that I actually did not have the idea...but instead it came from someone else on the "TEAM".  My co-worker Lindsey has been exceptionally supportive.  Actually, all of my co-workers have been fantastic!  Lindsey has done several really sweet, supportive things and today she came up with the winning idea for the MINI GOAL!!!!  YAY Lindsey!!!   So...here is the deal...on November 3rd..I will be doing the Firefly Run (walk for me) 5K.  It is 3.1 miles and a perfect MINI GOAL.  I am attaching  the link below.  Lindsey is a genius!!  Not only that...but she suggested we go as team MAWA!!!  Ahhh...more inspiration.  This is why I like teamwork!  Again, I must say that I am quite Blessed!! 

There is MORE!!!  An even cooler thing for me...is that the proceeds from this event benefit the Houston Food Bank!  I think that there is something quite fabulous about the Fluffy girl walking in an event that raises money for Food for those people who do not have enough!  I have told you guys that I want this Journey to be about regaining my health, shedding a "few" pounds and being the best person I can be along the way!!! 
This feels perfect for me.  So Lindsey...I hope you were serious...cause girl...you are now TEAM Captain!!! 

Soooo...there is a catch!  Dear Readers...I am thinking this would be a fun Group event!!!!  Yes...I am talking to you!  I am LOOKING FOR TEAM MEMBERS!!! The link is just below this paragraph.  Check it out, please!  I figure that I am going to need at least 4-6 people to carry me off the course at the end of the event...So....Who is With Me?  Think about it!  Pray about it!  All the details are on the website!!

Another Great Day on This JOURNEY 120 "MAWA INSPIRED"

HERE WE GO THURSDAY....BRING IT!!!
