Back on the Wagon

I know I've been MIA :-( Honestly we went to the beach, and then weren't home long before I left again to go to my parents for a week (and those who read my regular blog know how that one went!). Come to think of it, we got sick on each of the trips we went on! (or at least Elaina did)

But anyways....I "officially" restarted WW on my own 2 Sundays ago. I started at 162.6 on that Sunday morning and when I finally was able to weigh again this past Wednesday morning, I was down to 156.6. That's 6 whole pounds!! (however I realize part of that was having the stomach flu...but I'll take it) I have been up about 10 lbs all summer from my lowest weight.

The first goal I set for myself was to lose 10 lbs by the time I run my first 5K on September 27th. Looks like I'm on plan for that one if I keep things up. I only have 4 lbs left and over a month to do it.

That brings me to the running....originally I had wanted to do the Midnight Flight...however that is in one week. I haven't been able to run at all this week from being weak and sick....soooooo I don't think I'll make it. I COULD....but I'd be hurting by the time I was done. A good friend of mine is coming down to run the Race for the Cure with me in Greenville on September 27th. Anyone else interested??? Jenny? Vicky? Kelly? Kathleen? Anybody?

OK, I've run my mouth (or fingers as the case may be) enough for now :-) I guess I ought to update my weight bar...

I don't think it is even possible or safe for me to run three miles by the end of September. I wish I could, and I've even had fleeting thoughts of starting to run again, but I'm just not sure. Maybe if I can commit to walking, and keep that up for a while, I'll THINK about running! One thing I loved about it was that it gave me time to think without any distractions.

LOL ME RUN???? Maybe next year. I haven't ran in the past 20 years. Except if you count running after my two toddlers! My goal is just to start exercising....if I went to staight to running....I'd do one lap and throw in the towel! Thanks for asking and I know you will do great!

Thanks for asking but first I live in RI and second, I don't run I walk. I did an Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk®
in Newport for my Mom 2 years ago, it was 3miles. Might consider doing it again this September 28, 2008 - 8:00-Registration 9:00-Walk
Good luck with your run
