    Had a busy Tuesday... worked all day, out at 5:15 and headed out for a run. Had a two miler on the books which was nice since the sun was shining really bright and that always seems to make things more fun! After that I showered quickly and headed to choir practice. I hate that they scheduled it on Tuesday's the last couple weeks... too busy!!! But I did that and now I'm home watching Biggest Loser and finishing my calories for the day. Still a snack to go, not sure what it will be yet, but I've got lots of stuff in the house... feeling lazy only running two miles today, is that normal? Also I almost laughed out loud at myself tonight. I saw my stash of Girl Scout cookies and thought about having some (I have cals left anyway) but said "no, I don't think I'll have cookies tonight.."!!!! Who the heck does that/????? I never turn down yummy cookies... or at least I never did before!

    So yes, I still have cookies left, the sun was beautiful today, and I still have calories left for a nice snack... overall, a stellar day!

    Last weigh-in must have been a fluke for me, as I'm back up those two pounds to 169. I did cheat last week and got on the scale the day after to "confirm" the 167 (I know, I felt guilty for breaking my promise) and the scale said 169.4. So I'm up, but I'm down...*shrug*. It did say my body fat has gone down 1% from last week, and my inches were either maintaining or slightly smaller from last week, so I think those are both wins.

    Somehow I ended up taking a one week vacation from exercise. I haven't done anything in at least the last week. I think this week's weigh-in shows that exercising really is important.

    Happy reminders for Wednesday...I got my two businesses involved in Facebook giveaways and already the response is great, my new exchanged glasses are on the truck to be delivered, and it is a lovely, breezy, overcast day.


    OH, and the weigh-in log has been updated. Sorry I only seem to remember to update it on Wednesday when I need to plug my info in! :laugh: I can't believe we're almost done!!

    I'm checking in for the week, been soooo busy:smile:
    I completed the 100 mile challenge whilst also completing my first Half Marathon, woohoo!!
    The course was re-measured after the event and found to be 0.3 miles too long:noway: , and my adjusted time was 2hrs 20mins which I am really pleased with.
    I am totally chilling out this week, then back to training on Saturday, I'm having my first swimming lesson as my triathlon is now only 7 weeks away!
    I think I have lost 2.5 lbs since I last posted? I'm fairly certain I updated the log, I will check later.
    Hope everyone is well, April, I love the photos!

    Wow Casey, congrats on your half marathon!! That's awesome (except for the whole too long course thing, oy!).

    Next time I whine about being lazy and lethargic, remind me of how awesome I feel now as I'm home from my 2.6+ mile run this evening. Had planned on eating a scrumptious apple afterwards, but one had a yucky dent/break in the skin, and one had a worm hole. :/ Special K Chocolatey Delight, here I come!

    Congrats on the half, Casey! What an awesome accomplishment!

    Pinky, you have to remember that you were being lazy and lethargic because you weren't being active too! It goes hand in hand. I'm glad you got back out there. And I'm glad that you're getting awesome feedback on FB!!

    Wow ! good going and congratulations! I am trying to walk a half -marathon and though I think I can walk it am sure my time will be over the 4 hour limit so I am very impressed with your 2h 20 time!

    Finished the 100 mile challenge today during my 6 mile training run! Did some sprints, so it was tough, but felt pretty good after. Then had a million errands, including a massage which was my birthday present to myself!!! My son also got braces on today among other things...

    Now I'm exhausted and sore from the massage... I'll feel better tomorrow I'm sure. I hope so since tomorrow's my birthday and my hubby will be home to spoil me!!! His folks and Grandma just got home from their winter in Florida, so we'll go see them as well. I thought about going tonight, but even sitting up is just draining me right now! This will be the last birthday I have... LOL... 39 forever!!!

    Oh, and my weigh in was this morning... not bad, but not the best either.. whatever, I'll take it! Down 0.6 this week.

    happy early birthday to you Nikster girl! Hope its a happy one. Don't let the number scare you...it is NOT old! :flowerforyou:

    Cee, you're phenomenally right. It is a push me pull you relationship.

    fitterpam, yay for your 10K! Don't stress too much about it, just do what you can and if your hip hurts slow down and focus on finishing. Simply crossing the finish line is beyond wonderful and an accomplishment to celebrate!

    AprilVal, don't apologize for not being in here, you're doing fantastic things for yourself! I love seeing how you're booking photo sessions left and right. You should also think of your photo taking as exercising, since you have to position yourself in all different kinds of wonky angles to get that just right shot.

    JeninBelguim, you're going to rock your half marathon, and I've got great confidence in you that you'll come in within the timeframe. You've logged 117.8 miles! Those 13.1 are just going to fly by.

    Nikstergirl, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! How's your son's mouth feeling? I had braces and I remember feeling absolutely awful those first couple of days, especially when I got this crazy pistol system installed...it was right before Thanksgiving and I could only barely get down soggy stuffing and mashed taters. :laugh: Oh, memories! Don't forget to drink some extra water tonight to flush out all of the stuff that your maseuse loosened up for you. And Nursee is right, 39 is NOT old! One of my best friends and sevral of my other close friends are all turning 40 this year, and none of them are old. It is all a mindset!




    Happy Thursday everyone! Had a good day. It was my first shift back at my old scrapbooking store, and I had a great time. I got extended 3 hours and I was working with another "vinage" employee returning to the store (she interviewed me and was my manager back in the day) and we were laughing so hard we were crying! I had a lot of fun and it was really easy getting back into the swing of things. My hands are covered in paint pen marks and smudges, a take-home decoration I forgot about. :laugh: Hazard of the trade! After dinner I hit the track again and had a good 2.75 mile jaunt. I think I'm going to start a ticker just as a "let's add up the numbers" thing. I'd like to see how many I can rack up.
