Weight loss and Worries

Went to the Dr. this weekend and I had lost a lousy 7 lbs. Not that I'm not thankful for the loss, but considering the fact that I've restricted my intake so much plus added 15-25 minutes to my workout, I'm a little discouraged. Talked with a friend of mine recently who over the last couple of years has visably gotten thicker around the middle. She said that despite running 6 miles a day she hasn't been able to shed that worrisome thickness we all dread when we reach "that time" in our female lives. So I'm wondering to myself if what used to be my above average weight, will now become my normal weight. I so don't want to have that thick middle!!!!! So this month I'm going to try adding a workout in the evening as many times a week as I can. That's working out 3 times a day. Geeze, being a woman shouldn't be this hard.

Beth Moore

I'm starting a new Beth Moore study tonight with friends and I am so excited. It's been a couple of years since I've been in one and I have really missed it.

Keep Up The Good Work

Today is Thursday!!!! Yay!!! If I can make it through tomorrow I will have done great this week with my workouts and my eating. I skipped lunch workout to get my toes done yesterday but other than that I have been right on target. Have I seen any changes.... ummm, no not really. I am exhausted at the end of the day, but I'm a little more focused during the day. As far as pounds go... nope, nothing. But maybe it's just waiting to drop all at once... ya think?

So Sad Movie Night

Last night I had the pleasure of going to the movies with several of the girls from our church. We went to see My Sister's Keeper, knowing it was going to be a tear jerker. Boy, we weren't disappointed. We all stumbled out of the theater with snotty noses and puffy eyes. Nothing like spending a perfectly good evening watching a teenager slowly die and a Mother sacrifice every relationship in her life to try to save her daughter. Don't get me wrong it was an excellent movie, just brutal to watch. Next movie night will have to be a feel good movie.

Sometimes you just gotta talk it out!

Ever just have something eating at you? One of those times when you're not quiet sure if it's just you or if everyone else is sensing the same thing. It feels so good when you take that leap and just spit out whatever is going on inside only to find out.... nope, it's not you, everyone else feels that way too. Now that makes perfect sense doesn't it? Well I had one of those conversations today with a friend, only it was me setting her mind at ease that no, she wasn't just making up these feelings, and yes, pretty much everyone else feels the same way about this situation. That's it, that's all she needed. Just a little assurance that she wasn't crazy, or she wasn't being too sensitive and now she's fine, I'm fine, we're all fine. Aren't you happy? It makes me feel good to know maybe I helped someone feel better today. How bout you?
