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?

Creating a Breakthrough

Thank you to Keelie - I'm rising to her challenge. She says: I would venture to say that for most people who are trying to lose weight and get healthy right now, it's not their first rodeo. We've pretty much all been here before and we keep ending up back in the same spot. Overweight, tired, frustrated, and desperate. Why? Not sure. But I want to challenge you to do something that might help make this the LAST time you find yourself here. I really believe that this is the last time I am going to be here and the difference this time is that I set myself up for a breakthrough early on. After that day, I knew I could do things differently than I ever had before--in all areas of my life. The way to do this is to set a goal. Probably a physical activity goal but it doesn't have to be. Think of a goal that is totally attainable and something that can be done in the course of a day, week at the most. The quicker you reach this goal the better. Now think about this goal and si...

day 1 no sugar...again.... and finding an OA meeting

Today I read a blog that really finally pushed me over the edge.  In a good way.  I NEED OA.  I went to the meetings with my church group, got started, really had some good break throughs, but I can't do this on my own.  I need to quit dinking around and find a meeting to go to.  It won't be a quick fix, but I'm really struggling with the food addiction part on my own.  And recently I've been lecturing a friend about their husband's addiction.  His addiction is gambling - and he's stooped to stealing from family it's that bad.  And he goes to meetings but - as she tells me - they don't HAVE 12 steps there, it's "too complicated with all the religion stuff."  So I've been preaching the 12 step program to her...hypocritical of me since I haven't followed through on my own meetings.  Today I find a meeting and by this time next week, I will attend a meeting. I am powerless over sugar.  Last night after I blogged about day whatever ...

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...
