Overall had a great weekend. Friday was my birthday and my daughters (with the help of the baby sitter) decorated the outside and inside of the house. They even cleaned the house!! It was the best present. I have the sweetest daughters.

Yesterday morning I had to do a 12 mile long run. In the morning I found this note from my 9 year old I got a great note from Elizabeth (my 9 year old) this morning. She knew I had a long run and this note was under my running gear "Hi mom hope you have a good run. Try to beat your score. Love Elizabeth and remember your a runner Lisa, your a runner"

I did pretty good on the long run. It was crazy hot here in St. Louis but I handled the heat pretty good. The last mile was the worst but it was almost 10 in the morning and already crazy hot and humid. The best is my hamsting is even better now. Very little tightness. It was my calf that bothered me the most. All in all things are getting much better even while I am doing all this running.

The only thing I am frustrated with now is I just keep continue to gain and lose the same stinking 6 pounds. I have not gotten anywhere with the weight loss part. I feel great about my running and over exercise. I know it is good that I have maintained a 90 pound loss but I just wish I could get my head in the game with the eating.

I did not meet my green check goal. On my birthday I just ate what I wanted. It contined just a little into Saturday but I got control back on Sunday.

I decided to joing the Pound a Week challange. I just posted my starting weight AGAIN at 227....uggg. I have already lost this like 4 times this year.

I really want to lose more weight because it will really help my running and help prevent injuries. I have 2 half marathons and a full marathon coming up. I am hoping this will give me the motivation I need to lose weight. If I did lose a pound a week that would put me at my lowest weight ever by the time the marathon came around. It is doable without making me feel deprived. Here I go again to commit to losing weight.....a focus on eating foods that will fuel me. I can do this, I can do this, I WANT to do this.....
