I'm alive...

Man oh man, I seem to have been missing in action for a while.  Like the last post, things have still been a struggle for me, so not much has changed.  I feel frustrated, but it dawned on me today that I wrote this story of being overweight for myself.  I refuse to accept this story! It's kind of like those create your own ending books I used to read in grade school, it's time to create a new happy ending to this story.  I feel no restriction from my band so far, but that's no excuse.  My ending is in my own hands.  That being said, I started the couch to 5k program last night.  What torture!!  But it gives me something to work for.  Not instant gratification, but weekly results.  So I've checked in...and I promise to be more regular about posting.  Things have been so busy that I haven't even had time to read blogs...guess what I'll be doing tomorrow after I do the C25K and while the Idol results show is on...

Happy Wednesday!

The greatest 2 minutes in sports is in 5 days and counting...

It's hard to believe that I wait all year in anticipation for a horse race that lasts only two minutes.  Other things in my life that I "waited in anticipation for" and only lasted two minutes, I said no thank you the next time!  For weeks, Louisville has been in a buzz of excitement (Derby and flooding of a good part of downtown because of all this rain).  That being said, I haven't been ignoring this blog, just a bit busy...I have good intentions, but then something else comes up.

I've realized in the two weeks I've neglected to post or really read any blogs that this blog is my accountability in a way.  Reading your successes and struggles makes me realize I'm not alone.  Sharing my frustrations on here gives me the perspective that they really aren't so bad and I can work through them.  My weight loss has been none since I've last posted.  Maybe I need to start a ticker and put something up in my house so I have a visual of where I am and where I've come from.  I've talked to the dietitian and Dr. G's office and I'm still stuck as what to do.  The dietitian says I'm right on track with what I'm eating and Dr. G's office moved my fill up a week.  I'm going to the gym, but not like I should.  It's so rainy here and dark and gray that doing anything is just a drag. 

Well, I guess I better get back to work.  Have a lovely Monday.
