Post Thanksgiving Roll Call

Calling all Losers! (Weight loss losers, of course):

Time to fess up on how you did over Thanksgiving....

I am afraid I had too much pie twice, but I am going to swim tomorrow.

What about you?

I rode Andie yesterday and tonight I'm going to go swimming at the local pool with a friend or two.
I'm trying to get moving more...its hard but I want to really enjoy my winter. I've not had to medicate myself (for pain) in the past few days (much) so I'm happy that I'm in a zone that is relatively pain free! Other than the lactic acid in my legs and back from riding!!!

Post-Race Debriefing

I'm too sore to post much today, but the marathon went really well. I "hit the wall" at mile 20 but kept running right on through it. So I'm now a marathoner, and really proud of myself, but a depressing realization hit after the run was over: do any of you realize just how few calories you burn running 26.2 miles?

I feel like I worked a lot harder than 5000 calories...(sigh).

Wish Me Luck!

Well, Ladies, tonight I head south to San Antonio. It will take me (hopefully) longer to drive there than it will to run the marathon on Sunday, and I'm getting nervous about the race. At the same time, however, I feel really blessed.

The weather will be perfect - cold early in the morning and warming to the mid-60s by the end. I will have friends and family to cheer me on. I have gorgeous scenery to run through and I will even get to run by the Alamo and the other missions in San Antone. I will be able to stretch my legs and run for the pure joy of it.

I'm a little scared and nervous, but mostly amazed that this is actually happening. It wouldn't have happened without each of you, and I will see you at mile 22!

Swimming with the Stars (in her eyes)

Okay, I'm going to start swimming twice a week w/ a friend. We'll rotate local pools and pay about 1.50$ a visit. Cheap, and great aerobic benefits and will help me get in shape for snowboarding season.

Yay!

Hello!

Hey girls, thought I would take a minute to say hi! I am still in the weight loss game, will be till they bury me, I suppose, but I am trying to get to the Y to workout ! Homeschool pretty much runs my life and I can't seem to make time for me. I get down and crave bad foods. Not a good cycle. Pray for me, k? I just need a breakthrough. I have been trying to get Blake or Jodie or somebody to work out with me from 7-8AM, but no one is up for that. Grumpy me needs a partner.

I am still in the 160's, but my fitness level has completely sunk to bottom.

I will try to put more time into the blog, that might help inspire me. Prism meeting tonight at 6:30, too. Rambling now. Sorry. Jules

I am still here!!

This was me at my year mark, in June!
I am feeling great!!

Back on!

So I went back on Weight Watchers last Saturday and found out that I had gained 6 pounds back from me leaving in July. I didn't think it was too bad considering all I had done the past 3 months including 11 days in Cabo. I weighed in yesterday and I was down 2.6. I wasn't expecting this much since my week was crazy. I had a death in the family, my mom had a small stroke on Friday, and I started a part time job that I work on my days off from my full time job. So I will take this loss :)

How is everyone else doing? Where is everyone? :)

Have a wonderful week!
