it's all about the GOOD news!

short and sweet: 
Friday weigh in:  200.0
woohooo!!

Today's 10k - 5 miles, 59:13 - UNDER AN HOUR!!! 

I'm SO over the moon on both counts!

Talked to hubby about OA meeting next week.  He vows that will make it next week.  So now I've got backup.  And I will make it. 

Saw a few people at church today who made such positive comments on how I've changed - that felt good, no doubt about it!!

Also got to go on a motorcycle ride which always bouys my mood!

Now I'm headed to bed to try and get the week off on the right - and well rested - foot!!

Oh ya, and I signed up for a triathalon!!! 

Definately a gold star day.

How was everyone else's weekend - good, bad, neutral?

TTFN,
LauraLynne

Wow!! Great job on the loss and the run. =) Sounds like you had a good weekend. Mine was pretty average - busy. But I did manage to eat right even though we had a graduation party that we attended. Huge for me!

LauraLynne,
I just read your first blogs. I think they are the most informative, makes me get to know you. I can so relate to the part where you talked about eating it to get rid of it. Something like that, that is exactly what I do. Once I start eating something unhealthy, I figure I might as well finish it now, so I won't have it in the house later. Great logic, may as well eat 5000 calories now instead of spread it out over a few days.
Anyway, I just finished a marathon,(still very sore), and do triathlons, also. I love biking! It is so social for me. What is your favorite of the three?

Time to come clean - and start blogging again with NEWS!

I've been avoiding the blogging world - for a couple reasons.  My eating has been horrible.  Well, maybe not horrible but definately not brag-worthy or blog-worthy.  I've been embarassed at how much I've regressed back into old eating habits. The other reason is I've been keeping a secret but it's time to come clean.  I've been gaining weight - only a little - and with my doctor's full permission.  As of today, I'm 16weeks 4 days pregnant, and this one's here to stay!  I'm excited.  And nervous. And sick as a dog with morning sickness.  I've used all of the above as an excuse to jump off the wagon (and load it with junk food to drag around with me all day).  I've had chips and candy and sugar - and not in small quantities.  I now weight 205.  Up from 190.  But holding steady and fully aware of the changes I need to make - again. Mostly my problem is that I have morning sickness 24 hours a day.  It's like really bad motion sickness

8k Race report - the details!

As a "big girl" the first thing I look for is how many runners there are as big or bigger than me. It's just what I do. At a 5k, there are usually a number of women bigger than me and many my size. Today that wasn't the case. Apparently adding 3k eliminates a lot of plus size runners. I did not see anyone my size. My husband told me there were a few other big girls running - but I didn’t' see them. Talk about a head trip - I was really nervous! The announcer released my group and we're off! Less than a quarter mile in, I realized that I may not have thought this race all the way through. Let me just mention, I'm scared of heights. I used to be terrified of heights - now I'm just scared. I mostly do fine with them but bridges still can bring on a panic attack for me. The name of this race: Beat the Bridge. Um. Like I said, I may have overlooked part of the planning this race out. So less than a quarter mile from the start, there's a bridge - n

coming out of my slump - and a new puppy!

I've been in a slump - blog silence on my end usually means just that.  I've been struggling to keep up my healthy eating and I haven't been working out.  My weight has stayed the same but that's NOT my goal in this journey.  I'm hanging out at 191 still - so close to 180's.  But I'm really mentally struggling.  It's been cold.  I've been exhausted.  I haven't felt 100% well.  I've got a million other excuses.  I've spent 42 years making excuses.  I'm a freaking Excuse Expert.  I'm signed up for a 5k on 12/12 - so I'd better get my butt in gear.  I'm contemplating a 1/2 marathon in April - I'd better get my butt in gear.  I've lost 49 pounds and have 41 more to go - I'd better get my butt in gear. If only it were as easy to DO as it were to say.  I've cheated on my abstinence foods - sugar AND candy.  Still no chips - as if there's solace in that.  But today's a new day and Day 1 again.  And to
