Change of Heart

Ok...so I am thinking maybe the team name I chose isn't very becoming! We should change it.
Maybe we should go back to "Because I'm Awesome!" or what about "soler power"...or "Please put me in TIME OUT!"......anyway.....VOTES anyone?

OUR TEAM NAME IS.....

Well Sam, Beth, and I decided on a team name.
Like a Virgin....Running for the very first time! Since it is our first relay together and dressing up 80's sounds soooooooo fun....thats what we chose. So did out your crimping irons and your cone shaped bras!! Start shopping for neon leotards and leg warmers! I'm so excited! If you object.....come up with a better name! PS: I still need race info for Ali, Becky, and Claudia!! (oh and your 67$ race fees would be good so I can pay off my credit card!) I LOVE YOU ALL!

here is a refresher on the 80's dress code!

Francis Female Friendship

Hey! I thought this was insipiring and thought you all might like to read it as well. I think that even though we don't all live close enough to bond together over our actual running and walking, I think that through our blog and the excersize we have all been pushing each other to do, we have all grown closer. I seriously appreciate all the support and love that I have felt from you all throughout ALL our training. I am so glad that we have found something that has allowed us to keep in touch more and to show each other how much we love each other! I really feel that even though we are sisters and sister-in-laws and mothers and aunts and cousins etc. I feel that our friendship has grown. I love you Francis Females!

Team Name

Ok so I was wondering if we could pick a theme to dress up as when we cross the finishline and come up with a name from there.....like maybe we could name oursleves after some really bad 80's song like dancing on the ceiling or like a virgin.....then we could all wear legwarmers and plastic jewlery and crimp our hair! Or we could go with "we who must not be named" and dress up like Harry Potter. Either way.....it would be fun to do something to humiliate Jeff at the finishline. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA! (that was my evil laugh.....just so you know!)

Just wanted to do a quick post and let you all know that I had and AWESOME run this morning. I felt so good! I am very excited to run with you all in June! And I really miss you all!

So since this is our blog about our accomplishments. I thought I would take this forum to blog about my weight loss. Hopefully it will keep me going and inspired and accountable to you all! So I started Weight Watchers with two friends in my ward here about five weeks ago. My friend works for Weight Watchers and so I don't have to pay to go to the meetings or for any of the materials. We just meet at her house on Friday mornings and she weighs us in on her Weight Watchers scale and then we get the next weeks information etc. It is AWESOME! Of course I am the one that needs to lose the most weight but I am over it. So as of today I have lost 15 and a half pounds! I was so excited to get on the scale this morning and see that number! My goal was to have lost fifty pounds by our race in June and so far it seems that that goal is within reach. I have about 35 pounds left! I am not as brave as Becky to get in a bikini and jump on my trampoline for my before pictures BUT maybe when I reach my goal weight I will post a picture of me in a bathing suit.....probably still not jumping on a trampoline. Anyone else who feels that they need to lose a few pounds (even though I don't think any of my sisters, that includes you Missy, need to lose a pound, but we all feel differently about our bodies) feel free to blog about it as well. It will keep me motivated! Mom I know that you are doing this as well so you can chime in too!

WE NEED MORE IDEAS FOR TEAM NAMES!

Get thinkin!!.......lets propose to post a vote next month!
