12/9/10- the slump is over

in my last post, i shared that i needed to lose 8lbs to reach my 50lb weight loss. well, i need to lose a few more pounds than i thought. i stepped on the scale today; just for fun, and saw that my weight has creeped back up to a number that i NEVER wanted to see again. the number? anything higher than what i THOUGHT i currently weighed. lol. i must admit, i have been in a bit of a slump lately. it started the week before t-giving. i felt it, but thought i was pms-ing...sorry, fellas :) the feeling continued and i finally recognized it last week. i stopped writing in my food journal and my workouts decreased soon after the 5k. i was talking to my sistah, gretchen about it,and she said many of the things to me that i've said to her! she reminded me to push through the slump. dont you hate when your own words come back at you? i know quitting is not an option and this is part of the journey...this part of the journey sucks!

tonight, i'm going to the gym for a training session with lindsay. hopefully, she wont read this before our session. if she does, just say a prayer for me :)

today is the day to start climbing out of this slump!

all of me,

12/4/10- i'm still here

it's been a minute since i've posted....slacker. all is well; continuing to move forward. i completed my second race on t-giving day. it was a 5K and far more challenging than the 4 miler. i'm proud of myself; finished in 58:35. i wanted to finish 2 races this year, and i did. now, i'm working to lose 8 lbs before the end of the year. that will put me at 50 lbs lost. its been a struggle. i lose a pound, gain a pound...back and forth. this happened when i was trying to reach 30lbs. it truly is the battle of the bulge. i'm gonna do it....no doubt!

all of me,
