.) We went to IHOP and had some breakfast and got home around 2am. I watched tv for about an hour and crashed. I didn't wake up until a little while ago.
I am so sorry you are not back on your feet. I really hope the melanoma is gone for good! Please let us know how you are doing. And I really hope you are able to take your trip.Sorry Team Mickey!!!!!
It has been such along timesince i have posted or been in contact with you. Since I had my Surgery on March 16th things have not been so good. I am still flat in bed toes above the nose so I thing at this time I have no choice but to drop out. I will still read up and wish my team Mickey the best!!!!!!
Hopefully something good will happen soon I go back to the doctors on the 26th then maybe I can get out of bed and start walking. At this time we have still not canceled our trip for May 14th. If I get clearance to start walking I may just have to ride around in a scooter as long as it is not flat in bed.
GO TEAM MICKEY
I'm glad you liked it. I thought it was a pretty good article too. I have been doing some emotional eating lately, and it was a good reminder for me about what I need to do.
That happens sometimes. I hope you have a more successful, on-plan week this week.Sorry to say that I did not have a good week.
I gained 1 pound this week.

We had an awesome time at the concert last night! It took us over an hour and a half to get home (not because of traffic but because we got lost
We are having a gorgeous day today. We ran this morning and this afternoon went to a baseball game. I was able to go the distance I wanted to, but my knee has been pretty uncomfortable this afternoon. I'm really hoping it recovers quickly otherwise I am going to have to ice it at work tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great evening.
Now I have to finish up our city taxes so I can mail them out tomorrow. Nothing like waiting to the last minute.
I listened to it a bunch today while running.
Trying to get back into the habit of posting daily but "it's always something". I did get very sick last week which is quite unusual for me. I was also sick the first week of March but it was atleast a year before then with no sickness. I shouldn't say very sick because I could do a little bit every day but just felt very wiped out and mostly stayed on the couch watching TV. I ate lots of junk food and coke and we ate take out and FF for supper. 
I am up about a pound and up two pounds from my lowest this challenge. I'm just not doing as well as I did last challenge but there is still a little time left. If I can get back to my lowest I will have lost 7 lbs this challenge and I think I have time to make it to 10 lbs total for the challenge. That will be only 50% of the goal I set but it will still be a step forward. Today is a new week and opportunity to turn it around. DS went to the Normandy Jamboree Thurs - Sun and got home at midnight last night. I know he is tired at school today. He said he will skip soccer practice today. What a great opportunity to camp out on Normandy Beach with 3000 other Europeans BSA's though. Our washing machine broke last week and we are hoping it will get repaired before we leave for Spring Break vacation this Friday. I had to pay 42 euros this morning to wash 6 loads with my own detergent. That is wash and not dry!! Maybe if the repair guy does not make it out here this week, there will be a laundromat where we are vacationing in Amsterdam that will be less. I have booked a trip home for house hunting the week of May 6. However our area back home was just hit hard by a tornado. I don't think any of the houses we are looking at have been hit but I know there are a lot of trees down. So much going on right now! My healthy habits took a nose dive last week but I will try to get them going again this week. Lindsay, I am so motivated by your run! I have to admit I have not run for about 3 weeks now, I've got to get back out there! Tracey, glad your family in NC is OK. When are you moving down??
Today I need to get in my 45 mins on the elliptical. I will watch Ruby while I do that. Then need to go over our vacation plans/lists/print out check-in for the resort. Need to start making a list with pictures and prices for all the things we are selling here before we move - lots of electronics. And, of course I will be drying the 6 loads of laundry I did this morning! Anytime left after that I will continue planning the trip for when my BFF visits here May 21-31. I have all reservations made except a hotel room in Prague. Oh, and I am constantly searching the internet for a house back home!
I'm glad the run went so well. I hope the adjustment to the new school/schedule goes well this week. Music gets me moving too!
You'll be where you want to be vacation I just know it.
I think that's the key to making this healthy lifestyle thing work.
You can always just read along and pipe in whenever you want. We're very flexible that way. In a way a local run is a bit harder to train for because I think it is easier for your real life to derail your plans. You are doing to do great! 
I can put my eyes on the horizon and just run/walk over and over. But yesterday, thanks to Discoyeti (if you haven't seen it, it is very clever -- but don't watch it is you don't like things critical of Disney) I listened to the Glee version of "Telephone" for 3 miles -- I never lost my pace! 
This year it was 39 and windy at the start. I did it in 86 minutes -- that's 18 minutes off my time from last year. And I'm totally ready to keep on with my training for my half at the end of May. I may not be where I want to be weight wise yet but I've made great strides in my physical condition which will only help me. 
Has anyone seen my motivation? 
I seem to have lost some of it. I am still doing okay on the eating part but the exercise part has wandered off. I wasn't able to get to the gym for a few weeks because of illness, work, kid stuff and our vacation so now the momentum is gone. I was going to try to go today but I have a headache and my hip is hurting. (whine, whine, whine) 
Tracey I am sending you lots of
and hopefully a better sleep last night. We had some thunder here in NJ but everything was over by 9:30 and I was able to get a good sleep...until Brian rolled in at 2:30am from his visit with his cousins in CT. The bozo got lost on the way home??? Hopefully sweet dreams for us all this evening!Lindsay you are my idol!! What an awesome idea! My parents live on one side of town and I am on the other. I think I will clock the miles from my house to theirs and do a run. Cool idea to really show how far the Princess is in "real people" terms! Best of luck to Mike on the new job!I did my run today. 10.9 miles. I ran from my home to my nana's which is basically one city to another. I amazed everyone in my family. They knew that running a half marathon was far but I guess since I put the distance into perspective it really blew there minds. It made me feel proud of myself for a moment.
The run felt great. I was a bit nervous since I have been slacking on the runs since the princess. The last mile or so my left hip was really hurting but I think it was all just the muscles tightening up because once I stopped it felt fine. I think I really will be feeling it tomorrow when I get out of bed.
I feel a bit more prepared for my half in two weeks.
Otherwise it just was a relaxing day. We got organized for the week. Mike starts his new job tomorrow.
This is a tough one...I still warm up to The Climb by Miley Cyrus but I have been throwing in a recovery song in the middle of my workout called I Believe from the movie Honey...not sure who sings it. It's all about believing in your self and knowing that you can do it!
Shawn!! Great job on the weight loss...50% is half way there!! Hoping the repair man comes quickly so you can do some laundry without the expense! Enjoy Amsterdam and house hunting when you return
So glad you had a nice visit in NC and didn't get hit with those crazy storms! And, no I am nowhere near ready for Easter!!
Lisa!! Awesome time!! Keep up the great work!!I did have a wonderful day yesterday. I ran our local 5 mile race. This was my first race last year and I was the poster child for poor training. Did it in 1:44 and couldn't do anything for a month afterward.
Have a great day all!
Seems like I have more energy and motivation when I know my time is limited. 
Congrats on your new pr!!! So excited for you. You have done so well this past year, keeping up with the running. It's tough to come back from vacation. You're doing well eating, so that is huge. Maybe start with a short workout this week, gradually get back into it. You will get your motivation back. I know it. Hope the knee feels better quickly.
