Taking Time to Blog
I can’t believe its Wednesday already!! This whole having to actually work at work makes the days fly by! I’ve been pretty tired at night, so I haven’t had enough energy to spend time on the computer. Of course, this means the Nike Marathon race report has yet to be posted. It’s mostly done – I just need to edit and add photos. I promise to post it before we flip the mattress this weekend! Great to do list, I know.
Things are going great. I went back to JC on Saturday to pick up my food and do an official restart. I have temporarily removed my weight tracker because, well, I’m not currently in onederland – I haven’t really been there for months – but I will put it back when I return to the promised land. Hopefully I’ll be there in a few weeks.
I am feeling very motivated to finish losing this darn weight. What I love about JC is the ease of use – all I have to do is figure out what vegetables to add and I’m good to go. Sure, I do hate the BS of the whole “counseling” session – I like my JCC, but damn she’s chatty. It’s hard being perky at 8:00 am on a Saturday. I felt like a superstar at the center on Saturday though – she introduced me to the client she was seeing after me, who I guess can’t believe the old fat me was really me. Pretty funny.
On Sunday my running buddy and I ran in the Falmouth in the Fall Road Race – 7.1 miles. Man, am I out of shape!! I barely got through it – averaged a 13:18 mile with quite a bit of walking. Hard to believe 2 weeks ago I completed a marathon! I need to get in a few more good runs before the Route 66 half a week from Sunday. I just took a look at the course map – I guess I didn’t know it was all uphill from miles 9-12. Eek! Bridget – you’re going to have wait on me!
Again, I’ve been a lousy blog buddy. I hope you all know I’m thinking of you even if I don’t comment on your posts, and I’m going to try to post more often too, especially since I’m finally working my way to goal!!
*I completely forgot about my ultrasound. I do have a “small fibroid” and my NP thought I should go see a gyn to make sure it’s nothing major. I have an appt on 12/18 – I could have seen a male doc sooner, but you know, I just want a woman for this. According to my blood work results, I am not menopausal. Not sure if that’s good, or bad!
I can't imagine averaging a 13:00 mile yet, and am thrilled when I can keep it between 15:00-16:00!
I think a 13 min. mile is awesome after running your first marathon just 2 weeks before!
