Vestry
Today I was elected to serve on the Vestry for Saint Mary's Episcopal Church in charge of Hospitality and Fund Raising. First, what an honor. I was very humbled by this nomination, but also excited to explore another angle to my re-emerging faith. I do have to admit I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at all of the tasks and responsibilities that lie in front of me, but I'm sure that will go away as I get started. This is a 2 year position. I will be in charge of overseeing various committees and events, as well as being accountable for a portion of the church finances and budget. I even have to write an annual report. I am excited, looking forward to getting started and hopefully bringing some new ideas to the table. I will keep you posted as I go!

Fitness Update
One of my recent goals was to lose 7 pounds over a 3 week period... and not step on that scale at all during those 3 weeks. Well.... drum roll.... I did it! 7 pounds exactly! Woo hoo! That's a good feeling to reach a goal and know I'm on track. Before I would always have one goal...that was my end goal, and it always seemed so difficult and so far off, it became discouraging. I think I like the short term goals better! :)
My next goal will be to lose 15 pounds over the next 6 weeks (by April 29). I think I can do it! I have another tough workout plan from Thomas that I will start next week. It's important to change your routine every so often so it keeps your body from slipping into a routine and seeing decreased results. Thanks to Thomas for encouraging me and supplying the knowledge and routines!
With that said, I'm so excited the spring weather has arrived. It was in the 60's a few times this week and it's great to get outside! Although it's only in the 40's today, I plan on getting out into that sunshine and walg (walk/jog intervals) along the river. It should be fun, the river is high and moving very fast. It will be fun to look at.
Anyway, wishing me luck as I start the next 6 weeks! Just think, if I achieve this 6 week goal, I'm only about 10 pounds away from what I feel is a real good healthy weight for me.
Here's to a good week!
