Ugh Staying on my calorie goal for the day is hard when it's a rest day! Though since I'm currently seeing a +13 for the temperature, I think I'll walk to choir practice! I need to get out and enjoy this weather! Rain in the forest for a few days this week with a chance of flurries. I hope not! It's spring! Just the rain…

Hi. Remember me? Trying to get back at this. Got on the scales and wanted to cry when I saw how high the number was. Clothes are so tight on me. I'm turning 40 in 3 months and I want to defy what one person in my church keeps telling me that it just gets harder and I won't loose the middle! I'm trying to be consistent to…

I headed for the gym and TM. The wind is fierce and cold

After stepping on the scales this morning and doing my first run (attempted to run that is) in a month, I'm in! Current: 146.2 :'( March Goal: 141 Overall Goal: 115 March 1: March 8: March 15: March 22: March 29: Total Weight Loss:

I've had a rough couple years. Surpsingly since I ran my first marathon September 2018. However, I did it very undertrained. I just was determined not to back down again like I had the previous year. I've been good the last two days in getting up on time to work out before work. I know it takes a lot longer then that to…

A combination of "Then Jesus Came" and "Let the Joy Begin" - Christmas cantata songs for the upcoming performances at my church

I want to see it on both places. I'm on here more then I look at my connect app. At least I'm trying to be on here more. Trying to get more active again and loose weight. When your clothes don't fit anymore as they are to tight ....

I do want it to upload what I actually do for a workout, just not the automatic auto adjust. I never did anything to my Garmin when I got it (sometime back in the spring before I started marathon training) it automatically synced it. (At least I don't remember doing anything. I have the Forerunner 35) I tried doing that…

Nine days straight now! Almost didn't make it today. I overslept this morning and didn't have time for anything. I'm so proud of myself for just getting in a 20 minute cardio workout! It actually was a little longer then that as I had to pause it to go take out and put in the next pan pan of the bite sized double chocolate…

I’m back at it again! When basically none of your summer clothes fit, it’s the best motivation. I’ve been at it for 6 days straight now. Going to make it a solid week tomorrow. I need to get at it - I start my marathon training in only two weeks! YIKES! I’ve joined Team in Training with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of…

Marla - my hamster, Peanut, LOVES his ball and his wheel as well. He's allowed to, your not. Get some time to rest. And another nor'easter is bearing down on us. Sigh. I am so over winter. It has been a mild one without a lot of snow for this area, but that doesn't mean I'm tired off and want spring! I actually got out the…

I really need to come on here. The support would be good. I stepped on the scales. I couldn't deny the tight clothes and the needing to buy a larger size. I haven't been that size and weight since college. :'( I think I got out of the hole I dug myself in feeling sorry for myself. I got a run in today and lots of walking.…

On average it was 1am before I went to bed. On the night of the ladies hockey game I went to bed when I got home from church and slept two hours. Got up and watched the game. Went back to bed at 3:30 crying into my pillow Doing all that wore me out and was probably why I got sick. I had a bad cough that kept getting worse.…

Hi ladies. I’ll go back and read old posts later. I fell of the bandwagon for two weeks. For one main reason - the Olympics. I love the Olympics and was cheering on Team Canada all I could. On average it was 1:30 before I went to bed. The 13 hour time difference was a killer of ones sleep. I am so excited with how well…

Well I was doing good. Then the Olympics started. Sleep has gone out the window. This 13 hour time difference is a killer. I cannot get up on time to do it in the morning as I’m up so late. Oh well. I’ll get back on track when the Olympics are over. Marla - Hope he’s feeling better! I was with my nephews almost all day…

I'm at all a small law firm. It's just me as the paralegal and the two lawyers. DL and DM are both great lawyers to work for. They are laid back and easy to work for. The first few months were non stop business up to Christmas. Since then it's been nearly dead. I'm eager for it to pick up again! Some days are boring. I…

Hi ladies. I’m back. Hopefully to stay this time I’ve put on more then 20lbs in the last few months. I need to get it off and keep it off. I got into a bad habit of stress eating and when things settled and I started my new job seven months ago I didn’t stop eating. I’m determined to stop eating junk. I’m determined to…

Marathon is Sept 16. No matter what I need to run. Monday I got home late. I was hungry. It was cold. It was raining. I still went. Last night it was warmer but pouring rain. I still went. Even when I heard thunder. (It was only once). I was soaked to the skin in 5 minutes! I was out for 40 as I'm really slow and had to do…

Hi. Maybe I should introduce myself again. I'm Angela. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada - just in case you forgot who I was. Marathon training starts today! TODAY!! :o I made my schedule so that Sunday and Wednesday's were cross-training days. It's to hard of a day to get a run in on those days. Fridays will be hard until the…

Marla - Glad he's ok! That sounds scary! I'm watching April the Giraffe. Yes I'm caught up in it! Work this week has been going good. No issues. I haven't heard from any of the resumes I put out. I'm taking it as a sign I'm not to leave. Work is starting to really pick up. It keeps me busy which I really like This weekend…

After watching (via Twitter) Gary Robbins not accomplish the Barkley Marathon (a 100 mile ultra marathon) it inspired me to strap my shoes back on. I did a 3k run tonight. Eating better is much to be desired. I saw a number on the scales a little over a week ago I never wanted to see again. Everything for me lately is…

I know I haven't been on here barely at all. I've been having such struggle lately. Not with just eating right and working out. It's almost a mental struggle and battling myself from falling into a deep dark hole. As I think I said, I'm leaving my job. I can't stay where the other girls belittle me and make me feel stupid.…

You would never know a little over 2 weeks ago we had two buzzards. It's almost all gone! The past week has been mild and above freezing and rain. The temperatures are supposed to plumet this weekend and remind us it's still winter, but by next week it's supposed to go back up again. So can't wait for the warm weather to…

Jenny - I missed your early post! Congratulations on your son's engagement! Yes 3 feet! They are still working on cleaning up. Tomorrow all sidewalks around schools and bus stops will be done and they will get the rest of the sidewalks they haven't done yet. Marla - Sorry to hear it was a bad Monday. I hope tomorrow is…

In the space of a week we got three FEET of snow. They are still working on widening streets and getting the sidewalks done. They said on Tuesday it will be 10-14 days before they get all the sidewalks done. The buses ended up being pulled for two days. No work for two days. I was going nuts. I finally went out Tuesday…

Jenny - I want to try for mornings, but I'll see what happens. I'm in and the hatches are battened down! We are about to be hit by a massive blizzard. We could get up to 60cm of now (that's 2 feet). It's starting shortly and is not supposed to stop until sometime early Tuesday morning. It's a slow moving storm. The already…

I have a treadmill! A FREE treadmill! Only way I would ever be able to get one! It's an older style one but it's still a treadmill. No excuses now! Amid the blizzard we are having tonight I was able to run Course the storm chips and pizza for National Pizza Day probably weren't the best choice of foods! Oh well. I'm sure…

Shirley - Hes getting so big! Hey ladies. Keeping telling myself to get on here but never follow through with action. Now I am. Though I should be sleeping. It's after midnight. I had my first race of the season on Saturday. A fun 5k. I now know what it's like to come on last! It was brutal. Steep hill and -17. Brrr. I was…

I'm not going to bother to go back and read the missed 35 posts. Has it really been that long since I was on here? I"m trying I really am, its just not working. Today I did something I haven't done in MONTHS. When I got home from work, I changed and in the dark and in the rain I ran! I did just shy of 4k! (If I had looked…
