Hi there.

I had an awesome walk/run this morning for 3 miles followed by an hour of weight training.

My food has been on track and I feel excited! I've decided to just deal with this a day at a time like I did when I started the couch to 5k back in June. When I started then I was walking at 3.3 and "running" at 4.3. I started it again to increase my speed. I did the walking at 4.0 and the running at 6.0 today. Not bad for an old fat lady! <g>

I see a therapist a couple of times a month right now to deal with my anxiety about all this weight and food stuff (I'm a life long eating wacko person) She reminds me every time I see her not to let myself down. It's so much easier to eat too much and be a slug. I'm not really sure why because how I feel about myself right now is indescribable. I hope I stay out of my way!

Hope your days were as good as mine was!

eating -- ok, I think, but not tracking... might try to go remember all I ate and figure out calorie sand write it down fast. Weigh in is tomorrow. I do think I'll be down a bit.

exercise - finished the 10k, I could have run much faster, but started in the very back... I mean like we were really among the very last people because we were chatting and just wasting time. I finished with a respectable time though. I passed people the whole way and finished feeling not tired.

motivation -- pretty high, but you could totally talk me into pizza or chicken wings or something for dinner. I'm trying to hold strong.

I'm Julie, by the way!

Bonnie, several years back I went to a therapist for all sorts of things and of course one issue at the time was being overweight, and she said something along the line of :"You think thin people don't work at it? They are just lucky? They just eat anything but never gain weight? Get yourself to Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig or whatever works and lose the weight." (I think she was sick of hearing me complain and act like there was no solution to any problem in life). Anyway, I still remember that and think of it all the time.

Congratulations on your 10K!!!

I'm inspired right now. I know this... every day I get a "doover". The only failure is not trying again.

I read this quote on coolrunning this morning.

"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start! John Bingham"

I did really good today. Our computer is fried so I am stealing a minute to post here from DH's laptop. I won't be here frequently until we purchase a new pc (going through withdrawal--not substituting food...LOL!)

Can't wait to read how everyone is doing when I get back! Good Luck!

Hi I'm Jeni!
Eating: Sorry, no helpful comment here. I eat like crap.
Exercise: Ran/walked 3 miles, 20 situps and 20 pushups. My stretching got cut short and I can feel my tight muscles. I'm bummed I'll probably have to miss yoga tomorrow because there is no school for the kids.
Motivation: OK, didn't get on the treadmill until 10, but I got on. I've been down lately, feeling detatched from my friends.
