Breast Cancer 3 Day Is Here!

Yay! Its finally here! I cant explain how giddy and excited Ive been all day. The work day was soooo long! I know tommorrow when I hit opening ceremonies I'm probably going to be overwhelmed with emotions. Since I had to sit out last year due to medical problems, its really made this year so much more special. I feel so lucky to be part of the 3 day community, and able to do my part in the fight against Breast Cancer. A weekend of hope. A weekend surrounded by kindness. A weekend where we are making a difference. A weekend that changes lives :) At least it did mine 4 years ago. :)

Ive finally got my packing done. I had to switch to a duffel bag vs a bag on wheels. It was quite the task cramming all that stuff in one bag, but I got it done. I hope my sleeping bag is thick enough. I opted for a lighter one and put a fleece blanket in it. I did pack tons of body warmers to though.

Ill be heading down to Opening ceremonies with my parents around 6am. I have awesome support from my parents through the whole weekend. I even design them shirts to wear. Although I had quite the mishap with my shirt order this year. I waited to long to order them and today it arrived, except the shirts were someone elses order! But I called and they are overnighting the right shirts so should arrive here in the AM. I was pretty bummed when I first opened the package!

I was pleasantly surprised to see the number on the scale this morning. 1 pound away from my September goal. Im going to weigh again in the morning and may use that as my ending weight for the challenge. I know from previous 3 days, that the food we eat will cause me to be a little bloated at the end of the weekend. All the salt. Even though you burn so much of that off, it still may take a few days next week to get my body back to normal. This event can be a womans dream: eat, drink, walk, pee. Repeat. lol My body needs all the food offered so no counting calories this weekend for me :) I thought in previous years that oh I wont be hungry, Ill limit my food. But with all the energy your burning...your body says, FEED ME! :)

Well I better get to bed. Ill take tons of pictures to share. Hey maybe we will get one of Rob, Jim, and I :) Have a great weekend F.A.T.!
