Day 3 Continued: IN IT TO WIN IT!

After the hike this morning, I was pretty spent.


I did not feel like doing any more exercise and I wanted to give up. But I didn't. I did my pool workout as usual and shocker, Rachael and I got into our first argument.

R: We are waking up at 7 tomorrow to work out.
Me: Uh, hell no.
R: Yes we are because I have somewhere to be at 9.
Me: Um, no. That was not part of the agreement. I am not waking up at 7. That's bull and ridiculous! NO! NO! NO!
R: Fine, I am done. Do it on your own! (walks away flipping the middle finger)

I won, by the way. I just had to work harder in the gym tonight :)

So, I am in it to win it. I have gone from only being able to run 4 minutes to 8 minutes in just 3 days! R was crying tonight because she was so proud. I can't help but tell you, I was proud of myself too. I am really impressed that I pushed myself to the extremes.

I have shin splints, pulled muscles, and blisters taking over my feet, but I still push through them. Because when you think about it, it's all going to be worth it in the end. In it to win it!

We went to a food obsession therapy group. We all sat in a circle and talked. It was a cool feeling. Kind of cultic at first, but pretty sweet all together.

TONIGHT--I kicked ass in poker. FIRST PLACE BABY!! $145! THANK YOU TAMPA!! I was so excited. I think everybody was impressed that I won my first time playing with this crew. It was pretty sweet. It was Ewud time since R and I took first and second place. Randy came in third, but I must point out again that I beat R :)





I love Rachael. She does a lot for me and helps me to stay in check. She's pretty awesome.

I miss my family at home though. I miss my mom, Jess, Jordan, Paul my grandparents, and my friends. It's starting to get harder without them, but this is what I am here for and this is what everybody supported me for. IN IT TO WIN IT! IN IT TO WIN IT! I just have to keep saying that to myself.
