I am THRILLED to announce that I won the MaretHouse Fitness Challenge!!!!!

Poor Paul is stuck with me for another 3 months. And I received a free YEAR membership at Aggieland Fitness Dome! I am beyond excited! My dearest competitor and workout partner, Sterling Allen, was awarded 1st place for total weight loss and body comp improvement. Congratulations are in order for him too! Words can not even express how appreciative and grateful I am to Paul and David. They have saved my life.
The support I received absolutely blew me away. Here are a few pictures of graduation and some of the awesome gifts I was given...

Sweet card from my Mom...

WillowTree Angels from my Mom and Charlie

Lean Cuisine Dish Holder from my Mom!!! Is that not the cutest thing?!

Beautiful flowers from Britta along with a massage gift certificate!

Adorable flower plant with ducky (Paul always says/calls me "runs like a duck")
from Paul's Mom, Glenda!

Card from Ken and Nan along with spa gift card!

I also received support from many other people including my aunts, cousins, friends, and other family. It was amazing. I definitetly had the best support group. And I could not have won this challenge without all of the support.

Here are a few pictures from Graduation:
