Keep on Keeping On...

Not much to blog about these days, just been keeping on, hitting the gym, have done ok. Still working on the run/walk thing, and still psyching myself out about being able to run. I'll get there, though. Lots of travel for work lately, will be headed off for the rest of this week tomorrow. Busy long days make for no exercise. So, I'll just be careful of the food intake, and ramp it up again when I get home.

Be my Own Valentine

Been thinking alot about self image lately. This is not the first time this has come up, and has always had a (mostly) negative presence in my subconscious. It has been very present again recently, as I'm losing weight again and can see the changes start to occur in my body. It makes me happy, but that happiness also concerns me a little bit. I need to make sure that these outward signs of success aren't my only reward. I'm committed this time around to working towards health, not a pants size, and I think that will take constant reinforcement on my part. I think that is one of the keys to my journey. So, not to take anything away from my sweet husband, this Valentines Day (corny as it is) I'm gonna be my own Valentine. I'm doing this to improve me, in body and mind.

Half Marathon

I'm back! I don't remeber the last time I was really sick for this long. Finally started to feel a bit better on Monday, went back to the gym on Tuesday. Held my own and did not pick up any poundage, while I was wishing for sweet death to take me. I also signed up to do the Seattle Rock n Roll Half Marathon. I'm excited, and kind of sick to my stomach at the same time. I figure, worst case, I'll walk most of it, but it will give me something to train for.
