I don’t know how those with kids do it.  I have been around little ones non stop all weekend I am pooped.  I just got home and the silence is beautiful…..I did not do the best today just due to pure exhaustion….I hope everyone has a good week…

ok…so here goes nothing….I reset my weight ticker this morning.  I have gotten derailed in a big way and have gained back a lot of the weight I had lost plus some, so I am getting a fresh start as of today.  I had fallen into some binge eating and some very bad habits….so last night I made a decision….I am going to be that person I want to be, don’t get me wrong I accept myself the way I am, but maybe I have become TOO accepting.  I have been accepting the fact that I overeat and lose control and that is just not gonna fly any more.  I need to accept who I am,  but also not let me fall into those behaviors that make me unhealthy.  I have a new “control” center in place where I have to look at it every time I head to the kitchen.   I have a new workout buddy here in Austing (an old friend I had lost touch with and found out we had a membership at the same gym –she doesn’t even need to lose weight –began exercising when she quit smoking)…thanks everyone for being so supportive…i appreciate it….love ya all…Lys

It seems like every waking minute of every day I am trying to get in activity.  I know not nearly as much as some, but I feel like I have been doing so much lately, but nothing is showing up on the scale.  Don’t get me wrong.  I feel better about myself when I do exercise and there is no guilt that “I should have” because I did and I can tell a little difference in my clothing but I would love to see some agreement on the scale.  I know, I know..it will catch up, but I felt the need to whine and scream at the top of my lungs “I am impatient and I want to see the numbers too” but now I will do as I tell my sister to do “put the big girl panties” on and continue on…just needed to vent….

I have created a monster of the good kind though.  Ever since I have put the challenge out there for me and my sister..she is constantly on my back to get my miles.  she called me this morning on the one morning I have to sleep in and said “Be ready to walk in 15 minutes…” and now she is ready to rock and roll again.  I might make it..I might not..but she will push me to my limit.  Thanks for the support sis!!! 

 I hope everyone has a good week.

Well I have come to the first road block in my 1000 mile goal. My first and hopefully only sinus infection of the year.  But like Ellen said on my last blog it is also about the Journey.  I reallly don’t think realistically I can make 1000 miles by labor day because that is almost 4 miles each and every day and to be totally honest with myself we are going to have days like today, and tomorrow and probably Wednesday….but I am definitely going to see how close I can get. 

 Also, what is it about when you have a job you love and are really excited about that is the time you REALLY get sick and HAVE to miss work.  My last job was easy..I have a headache, I am staying home.  Now this is crunch time in my new office (all of the staff except me and one other) are out tomorrow and wednesday and I am just knocked out.  This happened once before.  I was due to fly to Tennessee for a new job and I was so excited about traveling for three weeks for training and I was the sickest I have EVER been in my life.  Didn’t know if I could even get on the plane !!! Murphys law I guess

 Good Luck this week all.  It will be hit and miss for me this week depending on the crud.  Although right now I can’t sleep and my throat hurts so typing is better than talking on the phone!!

Today is my lazy, lazy Sunday morning, my day to sleep in reflect on the past week and make plans for the upcoming week.  I walked almost 20 miles last week and my goal is to do the same this week.  I need to make my 1000 mile goal by Memorial day.  I don’t think that will do it but if I don’t make it, I will definitely get close.  I was proud of myself, I found a walking route on campus this week and my new job and my new boss actually allow for lunch breaks.  My old boss allowed it, but “frowned upon” it.  He worked through his lunch break EVERY day.  So that is at least 1 mile every work day.  I am going to lengthen it to 2 miles or three once it gets a tad cooler here in Texas.  I just wanted to drop in and tell everyone to have a good week.  I look forward to reading blogs and supporting everyone this week.

I feel invigorated and excited.  I started my new position half days (I still have to work half days in the other position until it is filled).  It is so nice to go to work where people actually smile.  My former boss just seemed to grump around the office and in general that put me in a bad mood I think.  I went for a follow up on my lasik surgery and the contact didn’t stick this time so maybe they didnt do any additional damage this time.  In general things are good.  I just wanted to drop a line to everyone and wish them a good week and good luck for all endeavors this week.  Yes I am just a little high on life today.

Yes Lara, I tried to keep my blog title different, but couldn’t seem to get it right.  I was going to use “Ayyy..matey” due to my eye surgery last week but that just seemed too corny even for me.  Anyway, I digress.  I just wanted to drop a line to say “Hi” to everyone out there.  I haven’t been on much the past couple of days primarily because I couldn’t see.  I had post lasik surgery last week (apparently they ripped a hole in my cornea the last time).  They had to go in and remove scar tissue and repair the hole.  But now I can see again and life is good (I was never with out site..just slightly blurry)….so anyway the game is on again and I am expecting no more major obstacles.  Just out of curiousity, has anyone else out there had problems with lasik surgery.  All I had heard was good things until I had mine. So onward and upward (or downward) and off we go….Kim hurry up and blog something so the folks have something funny to read!!!
