last weigh in followed by an eat fest!!!!
We had our last valley's biggest loser weigh in yesterday morning! I've lost a total of 26lbs so far with about 45 more to go...its a good start! We then decided that we would all like to celebrate and reward ourselves with a delicious day of food! We started off at Richie's Diner...
Jennifer and I

This was everybody at the beginning of breakfast...I think we ended up with 30 by the end of it :)
They had to take a picture of me enjoying my french toast combo...and you can't forget the bacon!!

After breakfast Jennifer and I went to El Torito with my family and then I rounded off the night at Red Robin with the hubby and some friends! I was in a major food coma by the end of the night!
This experience was one of the best in my life and I am sad that it is coming to a close. I am however excited to continue my journey and to see where it takes me! I have met so many wonderful people that have changed me for the better and I can't thank them enough! Can't wait for the Finale next Saturday!

5k Run through the Vineyards
I ran my first ever 5k this past Saturday morning. It was the run through the vineyards in the wine country and let me tell you it was literally a run through the vineyards! Sand, dirt, potholes, wood chips, etc. Probably not the best one to start out on but was still a blast. Being that I had really never actually run longer than a mile consecutively before I was proud of myself for running the whole thing and finishing in 35:39!

Santa Rosa Plateau
Yesterday morning a group of us went to Santa Rosa Plateau for an 8.5 mile hike! And let me tell you it was long! After having worked out 4 hours the previous day I was already hurting a bit and after this yesterday afternoon I couldn't move!
