Hope you are feeling better soon, Dona.
Your students will be sad to have a substitute on the day after vacation.
Hi Susie!! It's great to see you again. I hear you on the weight loss affecting your running, and have slacked off. YOu're doing great keeping up with it, and I hope the new program wiill be really helpful for you. Good luck!! It will be an Incredible year!!!!
I bet it is. Keep hanging around here, and you will be running. I never ever in a million years ever thought I would do a half marathon, but I did it. And you will too. Disney races are the best, but if you're interested in a goal half, in sept in Salem they have the wicked half marathon, a beautiful course around marblehead neck. I did it last year, and am going to do it again along with Maria-Worfiedoodles on team mickey. My first 5k I ever did is a womans race in june in beverly on the water, and for a first race, I really liked that it was a womans only race. The princess was really nice for that as well. I just felt more comfortable with mostly women. Any way, I am picturing you in a disney race one day soon.
I picture myself at goal weight in my wish shirt, actually in a smaller size wish shirt, run/walking the disney half marathon the month before my 50th birthday in 2014, having plenty of time for every picture taking opportunity during the race, not even worrying about my pace and the sweepers. And then dinner in mexico after the race with my bl wish peeps. Actually, dinner is not so important as the margaritas.
Welcome and love the bold on Bacon. Sooo yummy.
Writing it down definitely makes a huge difference. sure, I ate too many chips yesterday, but if I didn't write it, it would have been worse. I know that. I'm happy to be going back to work today and know it's a little easier to get a routine going.
Here to putting ourselves first just a little bit. Wise words, Lindsay. Thanks.
Very well said, and so very true. I don't know if I would be getting as much exercise in right now if I didn't have the dog, but it is a priority to keep her active and tired, so she will behave when we are gone all day, so it's a big benefit for me as well.
Good morning everyone!! It's so great to see such an active thread and feel the motivation and determination here. It's nice to meet everyone, and I wish i had more time for personal replies, but it's back to work today for me, so time is limited. We got a dog a month ago, Poko, so my work day routine is a 40-45 min walk when we get up at 5:30, and then another 15-20 min walkt before work now. I go in at 9. I hope she adjusts to being back in the crate ok now that she's gotten used to us being home. A friend comes and walks her midday, and most days hangs out with her and her 4 yo son for a while.
I did better eating yesterday, but there's still room for improvement. I've got leftovers for lunch and dinner tonight, and will only eat what I bring to work. If there is any holiday junk left, I will not indulge. My holidays are over. I've got work to do, if I want to make my goal.
Have a great day everyone!! If you've had time off, hope your first day goes smoothly and to all you teachers out there, hope all your students got a good nights sleep and are off the holiday sugar highs.
) My doctor informed me that I needed to do "something" as I have chronic health issues from being overweight. I would like to lose 100 pounds.
She used to be 330lbs and lost 200 through changing her diet and exercise. So I feel totally comfortable with her and know she's been there done that. And she's not looking at me and thinking "
look at the fatty trying to exercise."
