Bob.......SNOW...........


I ran on the treadmill today. I am 2.5lbs away from 125!! I am so freaking close I can taste it. the problem is, it may take me forever to get there.
A friend of mine asked me to run in a 6mile run around Atlanta on July 4th with him. Once I hit my weight goal, I am going to start training for that. I have a lot of work to do to get there. I think on Fridays after weight class I will run at the park for 6 miles. Just however long it takes me. Then, start working on speed.
At least it gives me something to work towards.![]()

Mic - we are having the same weather here. It's a dreary day.
Lori - I tell everyone, I have to work twice as hard to look half as good as everyone else. It's frustrating at times, but I do notice that I feel better when I get my butt to the gym. So there is a little bit of a reward.
Mac - no congrats yet!! I haven't gotten there and who is to say that I will. I would love to stay under 125, but we will see. Let me see how long it takes me to get to 125 first.
I'm really not sure if I am into running 6 miles either. I'm doing it more because my friend said he didn't feel like running alone. At least it will be good company and it gets me out of the house. Plus another thing to help me hit workout goals and keep me disciplined at the gym.
And pass some of that over to me if you can. If you ever see me run past you, start running 'cause someones chasing me with an axe!
The landscapers are laughing at me, I'm trying to get them lined up to give me estimates for a retaining wall and patio but there is so much snow out here they can't see the slope. I explain to them that I know if I wait till Apr to call I won't see them till Sept. so just put me on the list.
Oh I did put this on hold for the patio though:

if you take up running, be prepared for the larger muscles to be more pronounced on you........
your butt, thighs, just to name a few.........
Well, training for me is a little different than what you might think. I am only going to run the 6 miles on Friday outdoors. 1 day each week shouldn't change my body that drastically. That being said, if it will help lift my butt..I'm all for it.
WHAT Friday are you gonna do this??
Lori - I'm not hard on myself, I am just realistic. There is a difference. I do have some discpline, but I'm not great with it either. If I make cookies or brownies with my kids, it isn't that I don't want to eat them. I know I don't have the discipline not to, so I have to send them into work with my roomie so I wont be tempted.
Once I hit my goal weight, I am going to Outback. They have a really good chicken dish that I love. So see, I'm not as disciplined as you would think.
HA !!!!
Tony - hope your head stops hurting
One of these days....:yay:
KS - So sorry about your mom. I hope nothing is broken.
OCM - If you say so, still sounds to me like yo are very hard on yourself. Of course that is coming from someone that needs to be a lot more disciplined.
Have a great day everyone!
Snow day #2 in a row for Cam -- he's at "nana's" (my MIL) house today as Nicole had to go to clients today, not to the office like yesterday. We have easily over a foot of snow now.
Yes she is very critical of herself. But I'm here to tell ya she is the kindest, sweetest most caring person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
And she's really easy on the eyes too !!!![]()
don't sweat those couple pounds

Mic - I know what you mean. I ate broccoli and now I have 3lbs to lose instead of two.![]()
Keisha - I am so sorry about your mom. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. Please do update us when you can.
Thank you all for the kind words.
I had an extremely tough night last night. Basically, according to Lee, he doesn't love me because I am too difficult to love. That I am too demanding and my expectations are too high. That being said, if he could get a gaurentee that I would never find anyone else, he would leave. However, since he is pretty sure there is someone out there willing to love someone so difficult, he won't leave.
I was talking to Tony about it and he swears Lee doesn't mean it. I think maybe Lee lashes out with harsh words. Like last year when he said he was ashamed to be seen with the kids and I. Either way, it stung a little bit.
So thank you all for the nice things you said. It means a lot.

IT'S COLD !!!!!! SOMEBODY SWAPPED FLORIDA AND MAINE !!!
it's cold here too.......I didn't want to come out from under the covers this morning and I don't want to go outside.......eweeeeee
don't listen to Lee, you and the kids have nothing to be ashamed of in the looks department!! I've met you personally and seen pictures of your babies, you all are adorable! Keep that chin up, and I wish you WOULD find someone who appreciates you...I don't like to butt into people's private lives, but I'm gonna say it, he is very selfish and he needs to move on in his life and let you and kids have a life without all that crap
