I managed to wake up and get myself to the rec center where the March for Babies was held this morning. Actually.. I was the first volunteer to show up, but only by a minute really. It was fun and I definitely want to get on a planning committee for the next year. I am so torn with the whole March for Babies walk stuff. I love walking and raising money for March of Dimes because, as I have said before, it is important to me. I fully believe that it is a good reason my children are both alive. Obviously it was the doctors and nurses that cared for my kids but had the research not been done, they wouldn't necessarily have known that Edison stood a better chance of living by being delivered early vs staying in. (he would not have lived even another week had he stayed in by the way). Anyway... I love doing the walk and I want to raise money but I have such a hard time doing the fundraising. I know that every little bit helps and blah blah blah.. but I'm not good at it. I would also love to get a team. Something with the Last name (W) Wonders or something like that. Maybe I can scope out interest and make a party of it next year. Then all the fundraising doesn't fall on me and it could be a lot of fun! Of course that would also make it difficult for me to volunteer at the walk. Unless I do the planning committee, have a team, walk. I don't know.
On the way home I stopped over at a gardeners house that I went to a couple of weeks ago for a plant sale. The Bacehlor's button I got then is doing so well I decided to go ahead and get a black eyed susan from her as well. She was nice enough to set one aside for me and charged me $5 instead of the $6 it was supposed to be. It was nice of her and I will save myself a $1 anywhere I can!
I got home and decided I should weigh myself since I do that on Sundays and didn't want to/wasn't about to at 5am. I still hadn't eaten anything so it is pretty accurate I figure. All week I figured I was going the wrong direction and just felt blagh. Even after the weight registered I still thought I gained weight since it tells me the BMI first. Happily I actually lost a pound. AND I WILL TAKE IT. Losing a pound is definitely better than staying the same or gaining. So I'm at 182.6. Only 2.6 pounds to get to another even number weight. I am getting to the point where I am kind of amazed or impressed with myself. So far it has just felt like.. "yeah big deal, I have lost a little bit of weight". Now I am almost down 40 pounds from my heaviest (half a pound away darnit!). It makes me feel like I can actually accomplish my goal. The key will be keeping myself there.
