Digging Deep

Sunday, June 27th 2010

June 1st marked the third anniversary of my mom's death. She died at the age of 61 from alcoholic liver failure. She was only 17 years older than me.
I've been really struggling this past month, not with weight loss, but with some issues I'm beginning to realize played a huge role in who I am today.
There is a part of me that misses mom like crazy. I would be so thankful to be able to talk with her again. There's a part of me that is very angry with her for dying, for allowing alcohol ...

Survey Results!

Thursday, June 24th 2010

It's been a rough few weeks. The state surveyors showed up at work last Wednesday and were there all day Wednesday and Thursday, then returned on Monday and Tuesday of this week. If it weren't for the fact that no one likes state surveyors I'd be tempted to sign up to be one, I'm thinkin' it must be pretty nice to have three day weekends every week and drive your very own state issued car. There were three surveyors that came and they each drove their own car - all the same model, just differ...

C25K Here I Come!

Saturday, June 12th 2010

Ok....I'm still in shock....today I actually finished the first day of the first week of the C25K program! I really did it! And it wasn't even THAT bad. I mean, my knees hurt a little bit. And I don't know if it's because of the extra weight that I'm still carrying around or if it's because I haven't jogged like that in YEARS or if it's because of arthritis or a combination of all three, but it's nothing that a little bit of Ibuprofen or Tylenol won't fix! Wow!! It feels soooo unbelievably...

Plateu?

Monday, June 7th 2010

Today started out pretty rough. I woke up with a horrible migraine that kept me home from work and in bed until late morning. It was a rainy, dreary day which made it hard to feel good about much of anything.
I've been struggling this weekend with some big let down issues. I weighed in on Friday morning. I thought I'd done so well over the past two weeks and was hoping to see some downward movement on the scale. But when I stepped on I was hugely disappointed to see that the numbers had...

Feelin' Pretty Good About It!

Tuesday, June 1st 2010

Ok...I just have to share this, cuz I'm so excited. To some of you this may not be a big deal, but I know there are others that will be able to relate completely to why I'm so pumped!
For a little while now I've been thinkin about tryin to add some jogging in with my walk. Well, for anyone that knows me, this is HUGE!! I am NOT a jogger in any way, shape or form. But I just couldn't get the idea of trying it out of my head. I didn't have to work today, so I decided that I was going to give a ...
