from South Carolina to Maine i have friends and family who live and work along the coast. i hope this storm slows and weakens and worry for the devastation that could occur. i am glad to know that everyone packed up, boarded up and left their homes, i was worried my uncle would try to ride out the storm.
this weekend proves to be a fun one. SPD goes back to school on Monday, not sure how he is in 1st grade already!! in celebration of the last weekend before reality hits him we are spending the weekend all things SPD. we are going to a place i absolutely despise but know he will be tickled pink, Chu.ck E. Chee.se. i tried to see if Dav.e & Bus.ters would be a great idea and apparently a good idea but not as cool as the CEC. i am working in between activities to preserve the gardens bounty. in the process of making salsa, tomato relish, pasta sauce, zucchini relish, and other assorted tomato, cucumber and zucchini products. tomorrow night is my fantasy football draft!! super excited, i did extremely well last year, showing all the boys that a girl can beat them all :)! with all of these fun activities come tough food situations. pizza, beer, bar food... i feel like i am in a good place as far as decision making but these are the situations where i tend to make the worst.
week 1 is complete on my couch to 5k challenge for myself. i have lost 10 pounds this week, i am sure all water weight but a fun number to report. "running" last night was hard but it felt so good when i was finished. the gym today for some weights and non impact cardio. Monday starts week 2 of my couch to 5k running plan. harder? easier? either way satisfying!
are you not talking about any numbers on purpose (age, height, weight)? With your 10lb loss, I wondered where you are/were in your process/history.
ReplyDeleteHi Vickie, I am literally on week 1 of this new process. I am 38 5'10" and need to lose a person - aprox. 140 lbs. I lost almost 100 pound about 4 years ago and subsequently put it all back on plus a bit.
ReplyDeleteokay that explains it (10 lbs).
ReplyDeleteAnd good for you in getting started and also in posting your numbers.
I think being upfront about the numbers is an important (mental) part of the process. I think this might be especially true with regainers. There is something mental in owning the process/reality.
I have always put my height and age with my numbers (even now in maintenance), every time I post them, helps give people a reference point.
Congrats on your 1st grader. My baby is now in 8th (13) and my oldest is a senior in college (21) (middle is 17 and a senior in high school) so it has been a long time since we have had a 1st grader, but I do remember.
