My run today was nice! I got into a rhythm really quickly and was off. I feel great. I feel like my metabolism is in high gear and I have turned my weight wheel to LOSE instead of Gain, or maintain. That is my own little saying. I am finding that I am motivated this week. I don't know why, but I will take it. Yeah!!!! My goal for January was to say goodbye to the 190s. I don't know if I am going to make it, but I still have a little over a week. So, I am giving it all I've got.

Micah and I signed the paperwork and started receiving our Raw Milk Herd Share today. I am excited to get the good nutrients I was intended to get by drinking milk. I'm sure I will see the difference in Micah for sure. It will be nice to raise a strong, healthy boy. There is so much pressure on parents to get it right. I know that there is not one right way to raise a child. I hope that I will do a good job though. He is getting more and more fun everyday. I really love that little boy! He is becoming such a sweet little boy.

I am so ready for another baby! Maybe that is where my motivation comes to lose this last amount of weight. I told myself that I can not get pregnant until I get it off. I don't want to be huge like I was last time. I was so uncomfortable by the end, and it took a long recovery too. I would like to make it as enjoyable as child baring can be. LOL

I feel very blessed. The Lord is very much present in our lives and I feel that right now! I love having this feeling of comfort and peace. I hope you all have that in your life!

No Way

So I did the Master Cleanse a whole day. By the end of the day I was so sick. I don't know if it was the cleanse or just me but I had a massive headache, my stomach was killing me, and I had the chills. So, I drank a large glass of water and went to bed. I woke up this morning feeling better, but I am not doing the cleanse anymore.

blah,

BUT my training is going awesome this week. I feel really good and so far so good this week!

Cleanse

Jeff is going hunting for a week and while he is gone I am doing a cleanse. I am going to cleanse the inside of my body and cleanse my mind. Here is what I am doing:

10-days of the Master Cleanse diet
No TV at all! That is what a DVR is for.
1-hour of computer time a day only to be when Micah is sleeping.


There will be lots of reading and playing going on at my house the next week. I start Tomorrow and I am planning on using part of my hour of computer time to blog about it.

Running

Yesterday I did a 3 mile walk/run. I feel pretty sore today. I now know that I need to keep up my running so I am ready to train in January. WOW. That is what I have to say. The training is going to kick my butt, and I am so ready for it.

Today we woke up to snow and it continued all day so Micah and I just stayed home and played and didn't do any chores. We just relaxed and played. It was really nice to do nothing, but now I feel like maybe I should have done more because I leave for Vegas on Tuesday. I guess Monday will be crazy busy.

I wish I had someone to do this journey with that would like to talk about it. I really need someone that I can talk to. I am the ear for many people around me and I just wish that I had someone to listen to me. I guess that is what this blog is for. Jeff use to be the ear for me, but by the time he comes home he is not wanting to listen to me for a long time. He wants the short quick version and no discussion. I love a good discussion, maybe going home will help.

There are things around the house that I need to get done, but I am just avoiding them like the plague. I just don't know how to get motivated to get them done. Part of my problem is that I don't like to start something unless I can finish it and with Micah that just isn't possible. I don't like using Micah as an excuse so I just need to figure it out. FIGURE IT OUT!!!AHHHHHH.

The Flying Pig Marathon 2009

I have come to the realization that I am not achieving my weight loss goal because it seems that I have ALWAYS had that goal. So I am going to train for a marathon. It is held here in Cincinnati and it is called The Flying Pig Marathon. It is on Sunday, May 3rd so I feel like I have plenty of time to prepare for it. I know that with the training and my new goal that I will achieve my goal of weight loss on my journey to conquer the marathon, something I thought I would never do.

If you would like to join me on marathon morning you are more than welcome. I am going to do this!

I didn't do it

Well in my last post I was really motivated to do something at my In-laws, but I sure didn't! I gained! and I am so mad at myself. I had a great time but I didn't do anything for myself or my goals.

I am only home 1 week before I go to see my family and I have so much to do. I am taking each day at a time. I am going to log on here and enter what I eat and what exercise I have done.

I hope that I will be better at my family's house. I can't backtrack more than I already have. I have worked way to hard to just throw it away while visiting family.

I have been at our gym for a year now and I have only lost 21 lbs. I should have lost at least 52 lbs. 1 lb a week. I only lost less than 1/2 lb a week. What is my problem, why can't I stay on track with my diet. I know that it is my diet that is failing me. I am not staying on track at all. This is a problem for me and I am the only one that can solve it.
