Breaking news!!

There's a strange yellow light coming from the sky - the locals are worried, they're running for cover!!

This local will just be running - soaking it all in until it goes away again!

In other news - measurements were taken last night:
Arms - 14.5 (-1")
Bust - 42 (-1")
Waist - 34.5 (-1")
Hips - 46" (no change)
thighs - 26" (-1")
calves - 18" (no change)

so slowly things are starting to change - I haven't lost many pounds...but the inches are changing!

And in final news - tomorrow is a 5K - the Susan G. Komen Run here in Seattle. I'm running with a team from my work which after this week's layoffs, is slightly ironic. I know that several from out team are now laid off. Hopefully they still come run with us! Most of the team is doing the walk - I'm hoping to break through 35 minutes for a 5K. Someday I want to run a sub 30 minute 5K but without more speed training (well - ANY speed training truth be told) it won't happen.

So - sunshine, NSV, and running - that's MY day!

How's yours?!

TTFN,

I woke up to that yellow thing shining in my eyes and thought someone was shining a flashlight in my face for a second, lol. Its goregous here today, barely even any wind! Perfect day for a little ferry ride across the water... which is just what I'm gonna do after I go work for a few hours.

Congrats on your measurements!

Woo hoo! So glad you are doing the 5 K and good luck on time. I'm hoping the laid off workers are there--they probably need the connection and the joy of a race. I just had a bad dream about the time I was laid off. It really breaks your spirit for a while.

So YOU stole my sun! It's been pouring rain here all day with no signs of letting up anytime soon. *sigh*

Those measurements are looking good!!

Good luck in the 5K!

Today starts no sugar

This feels harder than no candy and no chips. And it started by throwing the oreos in the GARBAGE. And not the trash at my house - no, these went into the trash at the bus stop. Bye bye. (I'm imagining some homeless dude chowing down on his amazing find...) Now I need to grocery shop and fill my house with fruits and veggies! TTFN, LauraLynne

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 mot...

Pride - and why I'm grinning like a fool

So - first of all - today I got dressed and came to work.   Just another Monday.  Nothing usual there.  Until a co-worker commented on how it's time for me to go shopping.  So I head into the bathroom and look into the full length mirror.  Sure enough, I look like the incredible shrinking woman.  My pants and sweater are too big.  I'm not complaining - this is indeed bragging.  It's time to donate some of my stuff.  I'm a little scared to.  What if...well, I'm sure you all know the paragraph that comes after that.  So tonight I will weed through the clothes and donate the too big stuff. I will  NOT go back.  This journey is about moving forward. And on the pride note - several people at work know I'm losing weight, most of them know I'm running and participating in races.  A few of them know I've done races in the past (triathalons).  There's one guy that stopped me in the kitchen awhile back and we we...
