I weighed myself last night and the scale showed +1 lb. I measured myself this morning and no discernable change. I usually weigh in the mornings, so perhaps there is still hope. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little discouraged, but logic is over-running the emotion (as usual) and I am still going to stick to my 1700 calorie net until Saturday weigh in.Running at 4.2 MPH last night was fine. I was bloated and gassy and it was uncomfortable to run so I stopped at 30 minutes. Oh...

Nervous. Excited. Nervous. Excited.I signed up for the Austin Marathon training last night and parted with my $100 for a 26 week training program. Nervous. Excited.
Will I really be able to run a 26 mile marathon in six months? OMG.
It starts August 19th.
Since I actually parted with my beloved money for this, I know I will not quit or give up. I have no choice but to do it. OMG. 26 MILES!
Update: I'm not tempted anymore to put stuff in mouth that isn't go...

I am determined to get below 280 by Saturday. I have lost as much as 6 lbs in one week in the past six months. I can lose 3.38. Pushing myself for one week won't be bad for me. It will keep me from getting in a rut.
Yesterday was a low calorie day. I can do the same today. If I keep my net calories at 1700 each day this week I should make it. That sounds pretty easy. I'll call it a plan! Maybe I'll increase the activity some this week, too, just for some cushion. I can do this. ...

Yay! The boy is home--finally. His plane arrived at 11:03 last night. Poor thing. He was supposed to be in SIX hours earlier. He was very very happy to be home. We stayed up until midnight and we all crashed as soon as our heads hit the pillow.He came home a good 7 - 10 lbs heavier IN THREE WEEKS. I want to strangle my mother. Why does she think it is okay to do this to him? We go through this EVERY YEAR. Last year I decided that I wasn't going to put him on a diet, that I would ...

Ran for 55 minutes today and could have easily kept on going.My boy has been stuck at the airport for 7 hours and he is soooo ready to come home. He was supposed to be here at 5:16 and I don't think he will make it until closer to midnight.
He sounded like he was going to cry the last time I talked to him. He misses home so badly. We miss him just as much, though. They offered him a flight home tomorrow and he insisted that he and my Mom wait at the airport until the plane arrived....
