Ok, so you want some updates? Here we go!  I mentioned in my last post that I finally bought new shoes. TADA!!!! Aren't they beautiful? My new bff at Run On said I had Brooks feet and she could tell when I came in. Sigh, I know, I'm perfect full of it.

I lost 12 lbs since Thanksgiving, and an inch off each thigh. Those are the only 2 measurements I kept up with.

If you are unaware of 7, look up Jenn Hatmaker. It's an amazing book, and and amazing experiment, if you dare! Today is day one of month 2. Yikes! I got to meet Jenn when she was speaking at a nearby church in early March, and
