checking in - day 1 again.

Stress level is at an all time high - our puppy is sick, there's some family stuff going on and I turned to food. Candy.
But I've started over again and I can do this again. I'll update more later - when I've gotten some sleep and can type without massive numbers of typos.
Weight is 192.0, moral is on the rise.

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
