Ok. So I have skipped my last 2 weigh in's (weekly, mind you) because I didn't have the heart.

I know I've done this before but when I can feel the weight on my body in my am runs (and right now we are talking the difference of 3-5 pounds) I HAVE to do better!

Starting today I changed my profile to a higher level of exercise and I WILL eat all my calories. I am the worst for either binging an entire day away into oblivion OR undereating and over exercising for a solid week. Either of which does me absolutely NO good in the end.
So starting today I will stick to it. My big goal was to be at 140 in 10 days but I will settle for 145. Of course monitoring all this progress will require getting on that damn scale. Oh well.

The lowest I have been in the last several weeks was 146 (doesn't it make you sick when you realize how CLOSE you were to plan before you fell off the wagon, AND rolled under the wheels AND got run over ?
I have a gut feeling the scale has snuck back up to 149 or so.... I can't even IMAGINE that it has gone over 150 again or I'll lose it!

Have I mentioned what an angel my husband is lately? God, I love that man! I have been neglecting him lately doing this and that and God knows what else after work so tonight it's me and him, the TV and a Lean Cuisine Spinach and Mushroom Pizza!
Oh , and a brief moment of laundry duty. ARGH>

The Columbus Distance Classic Half Marathon is April 1st. I'm so happy I am volunteering at the expo the Thursday before so I get free registration to the race! It will be a nice pace setter for the 'big one' in May.

The last couple of mornings have been dicey. It seems I can't get my laces just right. They are either too loose or too tight. Either way forces you to move your calves and ankles in a different way and puts different stresses on small muscles that I don't normally move those ways. Bottom line is either my shins hurt or calves hurt when I don't have them (the damn laces) just right. I felt best on my last 2 miles home today so hopefully I've got them right. I'm psychotic, I know.

The sun is out today and I already feel my mood lifting! Thank the Lord!

Speaking of our dear Lord, the new Bible Study (on a book about faith) is awesome! There are 6 girls ranging in age from about 17 to 31 (I'm the old one) and we are all from different denominational backgrounds. (Catholic, Baptist, The Vinyard, Community of Christ, Lutheran) We are all very different from eachother (as most women are ) and everyone is so great about sharing and learning and growing together. I think I have made some great new friends already and I am very encouraged. It is a struggle to keep your faith fresh every day and I am anxious to keep that discipline healthy and strong.

Sometimes I need another project/goal..... whatcha think!?

Everyone have a great day!! I hope you all have sunshine today, as I am feeling spoiled by it's presence outside my window already

TTFN! ~Rebekah
