Hi Sunny...

Congratulations on the marathon!!! I enjoyed reading your journey and even shed a few tears when you reached the end. Aren't you so amazed on how far you've come since you first joined WISH?? I'm so proud of you You're pictures were also great and hope to see more posted later.

Good luck with those 6 pounds... I'm sure you'll have those off in no time.

Thanks,

Jodi

Hi Jodi,

THanks so much! I didn't end up following a specific plan, but the one that most WISHers seem to follow and LOVE is Marathoning For Mortals. I don't know anything about the asthma issue but I do know there are runners at my gym with asthma. Good luck!

Well, at least that gives me hope that there are runners with asthma . Although, I don't have a severe case which is always good too!

I need to get serious again. I have been complacent about my weight. As much as I still want to lose more, it seems I don't have a concrete goal in mind and I just drift... I have been fortunate to not gain considering how I've been eating. I am still a bit above goal, but lost most of the WDW trip weight. I haven't done my Feb LT WI yet. I'm part of the 'lose 5 for Feb' challenge, but I haven't been taking it seriously. Its time to get serious again. No more goofing off. I've enjoyed all the extra eating from training a bit too much. I've sort of adopted this attitude of entitlement about food. I've got to abandoned it NOW!

So my first concrete goal is to take the lose 5 for feb challenge seriously and get the next 3 pounds off by feb 28. That is perfectly doable. My long term goal is to get to 145 before the Applefest Half marathon in the beginning of Oct. That is a real challenge. I know almost all of my excess eating is night-time, tv snacking eating... There. I've confessed it. That's the first step! I can't make a "no eating after x pm" rule because my schedule is too sporadic. But I do know the difference between a late necessary meal and unnecessary snacking. I will start being more mindful and get it under control.

Hey Sunny....

I think both of us have gotten to relaxed since making it to lifetime and I find myself having to start with the basics agains. Get your water in no matter what, don't go over your points (and maybe even cut them back a little), no eating after 7:00pm, etc. I was able to get my Feb WI in finally, but had to pay since I didn't do January (I was up anyways). I made Feb by just .9 ounces, so a little to close for my liking. I'd like to get 5 off for Feb too.

I know how determined you are and your probably one of the most hard working people I know. You'll get it off and get back in the groove again.

Hang in there

Thanks Lilo and Jen for keeping me from falling off the first page!

I have really been struggling to hold onto my LT weight. I have 3-5 good days then I go crazy with food. I'm really hoping Spring will help. I have to keep reminding myself that exercising does not give me a license to eat whatever I want.

Speaking of exercise. I ran a half marathon yesterday. It was Boston's Run to Remember. The theme is remembering police officers who have died in the line of duty. The proceeds to go programs for kids at risk. I wasn't overly impressed with the race. I enjoyed Applefest much more. But then again, Applefest was in Oct, one of the prettiest months in New England and this one was in March, the ugliest month in N.E.!

We are having a family fun run and 5K in my hometown in May. I'm going to prepare DS to run the FFR. Its a half mile. I hope he will love it and want to do more. I also hope to get DD back out wogging.

That's it for now

Sunny
