Getting ready for 10 mile run

I just got home from work. Its about 5a.m. in the morning. I work in a casino as a casino dealer and WOW did we see a lot of crazy costumes and it wasn't even Halloween tonight. I love how the girls barely wear anything for Halloween. Lots of nurse outfits. One of my favorite I saw was of Eve, not much on but you got the idea, it was cute.
I am getting ready now to go for my run with Team Challenge. Last weekend I was soo tired after work I didn't go and just went on the treadmill later. This week I made sure I slept extra during the day on Friday. So far it seems to have helped because I am still wide awake which is good. Drinking some herbal tea as well to keep me awake. We are meeting at 7a.m.. Most people are wearing costumes, since I didn't get to the store, I am going to wear my Beckham LA Galaxy Jersey with Soccer Shorts and Soccer Socks. Not the best but it will have to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated- http://www.active.com/donate/lv09lasvegas/vegas09EGould

A little update

On Sunday, we had our last meeting for the three month weight loss challenge. Even though I struggled emotionally at times during that three month span, I still ended up losing 4lbs during the challenge and getting third place out of about 10 people. I think training with Team Challenge and getting on a regular running pattern helped me towards the end. At times I had gained weight during the challenge.

We are now starting a new Weight Loss Challenge next Tuesday. If you live in Las Vegas you are welcome to join us.

This week. I ran 5 miles on Tuesday. 2 Miles on Wednesday. Plan on running 5 miles on Thurday and then 12 miles with Team Challenge on Saturday morning.

Please even $5 would mean soo much to me and just think if you support me I will be supporting your blog even more- http://www.active.com/donate/lv09lasvegas/vegas09EGould

Team Challenge?

1. What are your opinions on giving money for charitable functions

2. What is a good way to ask for money for a charitable cause without being out of line?

I am running with Team Challenge and need to raise money for it. Any ideas?

Thanks
Emmett

Update

I had a good day eating wise today. I took two shakes, had a turkey sausage, two small meals at work and now a Abs Diet Burger.
I also got a 5 mile run in on the treadmill. Following my training program for Team Challenge.

I want to give TJ a big shout out for supporting me in my Team Challenge.

Weekend in Atlanta

Well my weekend in Atlanta went pretty good. It was pretty neat hearing from the doctors of herbalife and the CEO of the company. Also hearing all the inspirational stories of people that have gone from nowhere to making an incredible career with herbalife. I enjoyed networking with many people at the social events and talking about nutrion and business. I went out to dinner with a group of people in there 20's and 30's(the younger crowd) on Saturday night. More than half were women, a little intimidating for me, but it was nice at the same time. Not that I am afraid of women, I just tend to have less to talk to them about. But at least we had herbalife and health and wellness to talk about. Had an incredible meal- Grilled Scallops, I researched it and there is a ton of protein in Scallops. The rest of the night I could barely eat anything. Its soo nice being around people that think similiar to you. We were all talking about what was healthy on the menu etc.
Atlanta was cold in the 50's most of the time.

Wednesday

I got out of work at 4a.m. and staying on track with my Team Challenge, I went to the gym and did two miles on the treadmill. Yesterday I did 5 miles at about a 9 minute pace. Today I challenged myself by running 2 miles at a 7 minute pace. I felt good afterwards. My best mile in High School was just about a 6 minute mile. I think I can get back to that pace at some point.
Afterwards I rewarded myself again by going in the hot tube, I love the hot tube at the gym. It relaxes me and lets me unwind after a good workout. While I was in the hot tube, a little depression about my life and lack relationships with women started getting me down. It passed after a little while, but it felt weird. I figure if I am going to be single at least I mid as well make the best of it and do something productive with my life. I see on soo many of these blogs people that are married and happy about there marriage. I am happy for them. I once had a great relationship with a women and it makes me wonder how it will feel again.
I am off to bed. Tomorrow I work 8p.m.-4a.m., then I am leaving out of the airport at 6:30a.m. for my flight to Atlanta. Going to the herbalife extravaganza for the weekend. A little nervous meeting soo many people at once, but it should be exciting at the same time.

Recent Pics, etc.

This is my training plan for my Team Challenge. Its a little after 5a.m. Wednesday morning. I just got back from the gym, I did 5 miles today after work, since I was lazy all day Tuesday and missed my training run. Today before work I plan on running 2 miles according to this schedule. I love having a reason more than just for myself to run.

After some people mentioned Dave Ramsey in there comments about my blog on Monday, I found this info that he wrote. It was in Success magazine. Not sure how to fix the image. Any ideas?

Herbalife Pie I made yesterday. I had two pieces after I went to the gym. About 250 calories a piece with lots of nutrition in it. I got the recipe from www.wlc101.net
