Feeling a Resolve

The endorphins kicked in this weekend. I had the Danskin Triathlon; it was something I have NOT been looking forward to since my life has been nuts and I hadn't worked out in a couple of weeks. My goal was to finish and I did in record time. 139:11 . I think being a little lighter had to have helped and I wore my wetsuit, which definately improved my swim time. My run pace was 11:34/mile, and that was fine with me. I could have been faster on the bike, but there were ALOT of beginners on the course and more accidents than I have ever seen at a race so I had to put the brakes on more than I would have wanted to. In the end it was a decent weekend; time with my sisters away from my kids/husband and a great workout. Hopefully it will encourage me to get back into the workouts, continue watching my diet and take care of me too.

I am still just biding my time until my daughter's appointment Aug. 16th. She's felt pretty good and I am able to deal with her symptoms. I have a lot of issues with my husband and how he's reacted to all of this, but I know it's not anything we can't deal with --- in fact I am taking steps to get us counseling. Anything to get us all on the same page - united and moving forward.

My sister (who's lost 25lbs since January) just gave me her old favorite jeans. They fit, and they are size 12! I haven't been this light in more than 10 years. My weight Saturday morning was 180.5 . I know the big loss was NERVES, but now that it's off, I really want to keep it off and continue moving downward. It can only help make me stronger, healthier and better able to deal with the challenges I have looming.
