New Scale and OWiS #24

Saturday, June 12th 2010

My trusty scale is no longer trusty. It’s old and it begged me to put it out of it’s misery. I complied. I bought a fancy new scale with all kinds of buttons. Of course as with all the other stories I heard about buying a new scale, I anticipated a different weight. I came home, set it up and then let it tell me my numbers.

About a two pound difference.

Okay, not bad. Will make for a small loss this week (but not really). The important word in that last sentence: Loss. There is one a...

Potential / Next Race / Week in Review

Friday, June 11th 2010

I was at the gym this morning when I saw this on the back of someone’s shirt:

Live your potential

My first thought was “Oh man that’s going to make a great blog theme”…My second thought was “what the hell does that mean?” I mean seriously, what does that mean? Do I even know what my potential is and if I did how do I measure the successes?

Right now I’m comparing what I used to do (eating my way to an all time high of 275 pounds and playing world of warcraft until my eye...

Random thoughts...

Thursday, June 10th 2010

It's hard to get settled in after being away for almost a week. I'm not sure if that's the way it is for most people. It doesn't really matter if I'm away for 24 hours or for 24 days. I spend a few days upon my return making sure everything is as it was when I left. Nothing lost. Nothing moved. Pets accounted for.

Going home

Tuesday, June 8th 2010

I'm heading out the door in a few minute to begin my long flight home. I'm going to miss my friend but am missing being in the comfort of what I know. This trip was an eye opener for me. I've been preparing myself for 5 months and all in all it was successful.

I've still got a long way to go.

I'm ready.

UPDATE

Landed safely at home.

Missed my husband.

Missed my dogs.

Missed my home.

Missed my gym.

Relax tonight.

Hit the ground running tomorro...

When I thought I was in control, I learned I wasn’t

Monday, June 7th 2010

I'm not even sure how to begin this entry this morning.

Honestly I guess.

Last night I made myself sick.

Not on accident.

On purpose.

There is nothing like writing a entry and crying your eyes out at the same time while trying to keep your emotions in check so that you can keep a clear head about what is going on emotionally. I almost didn't want to write this entry this morning. I thought if I just let it go then no one will be the wiser. What's the point of that? Isn'...
