I am so lucky! I have such amazing support from all around me, my parents helped by buying me the weight loss med Alli, and now my in-laws, Bob and Cindy got me an amazing pair of shoes. Cindy took me to Elite Feet on Saturday where they have awesome customer service, they watched me walk and then he (the owner, who Bob and Cindy have gotten to know because they buy all their running shoes there) had me try on a few different pairs. I ended up getting some Brooks tennis shoes, they really do make a difference! I am so thankful to Bob and Cindy, I could never have afforded them on my own but they said they wanted to help me because they saw how hard I was working and they know the benefits of good shoes. So that evening I broke them in, I planned to jog from my parents house to 143rd street and around that big area of the schools but once I got to 143rd I felt pretty good so I decided to see how far I could go. I got to 151st! Those of you who don't know the area that is about 4 miles from my parents house to 151st and back. The shoes felt great and although sore, I felt great too!
Sunday was quite a cheat day, I am glad I was good on Saturday, we went to Lowry City for my grandma's 75th birthday and there was an amazing amount of delicious food. I did better then I would have in the past but it was hard to stop eating. I still have not gotten on the scale, maybe next weekend, maybe. My in-laws gave me some extra hand weights and a set of steps for step aerobics and I got another new DVD so I am getting quite a collection. If anyone else has anything to donate for the cause (work out DVDs, etc) I would gladly take them. OK I better go get a good work out in for today. I will keep on posting, one day at a time, not giving up!

I will get on the scale this weekend, I promise, even though I don't want to.
Good job, Emily! I have a blog for this purpose, but have not been very dedicated as I have been trying to finish my degree. Hopefully in another week I can return to a regime that will help me get in better shape and look/feel better. You are an inspiration and make me want to start now! Keep up the good work
