Weight Watchin'

I went. I weighed in at 186.4 - a pound up from my last home weight. The leader is WEIRD and the people there ranged from women like me; 40's, rejoiners, active, to the lonely folk, who seem to be there to get their dose of human contact. My goals are simple: get active +again+ and lose weight. There are 8 weeks left of 2008. I would like to end it on a good note and be thinner and in better health than I was when it started.

There is a 5K December 6th. I will register this week and as soon as triathlon registration opens, I'll sign up for my 2009 schedule. I told my husband that I wanted nothing for Christmas (we don't have any extra money this year so we want to keep it lean). My hope is that success will require me to get some new race stuff in the spring and that's what my reward will be for a job well done. I've got to get myself psyched up.

Today it is SUNNY and cold. The leaves begging to be raked. I hate them, but they will be gone and I will get my workout for the day... I am sure to be feeling it tomorrow.
