Going home to RACE!
This morning I wrote about my crap day.
I thought to myself, as part of Un-Stuff This Turkey, that I was going to research races in my hometown when I go HOME! I am headed home from November 23-December 7th.
Guess what? There’s a RACE! It makes me think of this from last year with my sister!
The race is to support ‘Girls on the Run’ through the local university–hence the above picture..
This race benefits Girls on the Run Willamette Valley, a non-profit after-school prevention program for girls in grades 3rd-8th, that combines health education and running. Don’t forget to wear your Girls on the Run or Beaver gear to the race!
When I first started losing weight, it was for me. However, it evolved into a whole entire mental focus on one where I thought to myself ‘I NEVER want my children to have to endure that I went through as an overweight child and adult’.
It’s about creating positive routines in life, it’s about creating positive change.
I am REALLY looking forward to going home! I am looking forward to a these things 
I am just so happy to go home. I haven’t been this excited to go home, in a really long time.
I was able to pull myself up from this morning. I got my yoga in today for the UnStuff This Turkey and jotted down the stuff for In My Face–although I’d say I failed a bit today–but will be blogging about that tomorrow..cause it is going to change.
Nine months ago, I would have had a pity party and never gotten back up.
Thank you for all of your supportive comments and swift kicks! I am so ready to keep moving on.
Do you look forward to visiting your family/friends?

Visiting family is fun, because I love them (of course), but it’s cool to go away instead of people coming to my house because I don’t have to cook or clean up the mess afterwards. I’m just sayin’.
(…and I hope no one in my family reads this)
Enjoy your time! xo
Visiting family is hard for me because of the distance and our schedule. But I love to see my mom when she visits. I’m lucky to have a few friends nearby to visit about 2 times a month to keep me grounded.
Yayyy for your trip home soon, that is so exciting!! I have been out of town on my rotation for 2 months (which I realize is nothing compared to you), and I absolutely cannot wait to see my family and friends again!
That will be SO nice to go home..for sure.
Every time I read your blog, I wish we’d gotten closer in college. You are amazing and inspiring!
the feeling in is mutual. Honestly…I think the same about teaching everytime I read your blog. dang..I wish I was doing that.
