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

that little voice in my head is an a**hole

I haven't been as heavy as I am now (250) in almost 2 decades.  I forgot how hard it is.  Physically and mentally.  And I'm spiraling lately.  It's been so very hard.  Everything has been hard.  I've been struggling with my weight - the pure numbers - my clothes, my ability to do simple daily activities, my self loathing, my eating.  Everything.  I feel like this literally effects every single aspect of my life.  And I HATE it.  H.A.T.E.  This weekend was especially brutal on me.  I am a retired motorcycle racer and now I work for a track time organization and ride during their events.  My race suit was custom made about 15 years ago.  It still has lots of life left in it.  But it was custom made for 200 pound me and doesn't even come close to fitting 250 pound me.  So I finally caved and ordered another custom made suit.  I send in all my measurements and waited.  There were some hiccups and dela...

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...
