Changes

Why is it so hard to change? I have been trying to lose weight for years now and yet I am still stuck. I try to change my habits but no - I slip right back where I was. Why is that?

Anyways, I have recommited to Weight Watchers and so far I am doing well this week. I have been tracking all my points and I have stayed in my point range as well. This is really good for me - I just hope it shows at the scale.

Running has been so so. My family does not seem to realize that I have to actually leave the house to run. There is always something that prevents me from getting out. It is killing me!! My husband is cracking jokes that I can always finish the race in a wheelchair or crawling. It is driving me crazy. I am less than two weeks out and terrified! I know that the last 3 or 4 miles are going to kick my butt!!! BUT I WILL FINISH!! I have to - I can't let myself down again! I set goals for myself and never meet them. I always justify a way out. Not this time!! I will do it and I will be proud! Then I will do it again when I do the Trail of Two Cities Half Marathon on Nov. 9.

Fundraising is Done!

Yeah - my fundraising is done!! I met my goal of $2800 and went above it! THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS AWESOME CAUSE!! YOU HAVE HELPED TO SAVE LIVES! Now I just have to get ready for the race. Due to injury and training issues I am only doing the half-marathon. 13.1 miles is still going to be a major challenge considering I never seriously did any running until I started training in May. I am so excited but super nervous too. I know our coach has prepare us well but it is still such a daunting task.

Well, I need to head to bed so that I can get some rest to go run in the morning.
