Maintaining...

I have not been losing still, but I have also not been gaining.  It is frustrating not to see change, but I am also content knowing that I am maintaining lately.  I am slowly adding in some exercise again.  Last night I went for a run/walk.  I went the full 3.1 miles.  I only did running through the first half because my hip started hurting me.  I was impressed with my lungs though.  I didn't really have a labored breath until going up the biggest hill!  This made me feel really good.  I know I need to keep doing this every other day at least, but it just doesn't always work like that.  I am content if I can get it in a couple of times a week.  I may only do half the distance tomorrow when I go.  My hip is pretty sore today.


I did not weigh in this week at a meeting because I could not get out of work.  I will be back to the meetings next week though.  I really enjoy getting away from work for an hour and visiting with people going through the same things I am.  


I am off to go mow the lawn (a little exercise!) then do a little work from home.

it's been too long

I haven't really forgotten about blogging, but I have been busy and not been on the computer at home, which is where I typically blog from.

Since I last wrote I have been to Michigan and enjoyed a wonderful vacation.  I ran a 5k with a great friend and even did it faster than all my previous attempts.  I completed this 5k in 42:46!  The humidity just about killed me, but I still made it.  Molly was wore out for 2+ days after running with me.  On our way home the Escape I have broke.  We had just hit Des Moines, IA.  Pretty bad place to break down on a Saturday night at 7-8 pm.  Everything was closed by then so we had to get a room.  Luckily we have a great friend that drove from Gillette to pick us up and take us home!  We finally got to Wyoming around 10-11 on Sunday night.  John had to get about 2 hours of sleep then head to Cheyenne and I just had to be to work around 6am.

This past month I haven't exercising like I should be, but it has been crazy busy at work and I am trying to still get caught up from being gone for one week.  I did start this week running again though :)  I ran Monday and Tuesday then this morning for the 5k in Pine Haven!  I finished in 41 mins so I am getting faster still!  I think if I hadn't taken Molly I may have been under 40, but she does help keep me motivated and steady.

I need to check online when the Spearfish Canyon runs are this month.  I just remember they are in July!

On a weight loss note...I have not been losing lately, but overall I gained at most 7-8 lbs at one time.  I am already working on getting back down.  My focus has not been so good and so I need to get back at that.

Well I just wanted to check in with everyone and give you an update.  I will try to do better and keep in touch more regularly again.  I know it helps me to post on here also!
