Well I would like to quote a song by Darryl Worley "It sounds like life to me." Thats what has happened to me for the last few weeks. Since I ran the 5k 2 weeks ago I have only worked out once. I've lost my energy. I have not been eating well. I missed weigh in last week because of work this week I'm up 5 pounds (SH*T). I am also working 2 jobs and back in college full time finishing up my RN. I just feel like I am out of control right now. I need a U-turn. I have been talking with some people today one gentleman told me "when you fall down the steps you do not say well I fell and keep rolling to the bottom. No you stop your self and start walking back up again." I can not let a little stumble stop me.

On a happy note tommorow August 27th marks Amanda's and my first date. I can not believe it has been fours years since August 27th 2005. Its been the greatest four years. I look forward to many more. I love you with all my heart. Buckle your seat belt it will be bumpy ride from here, but thats ok because I know your the seat next me. I raise my glass and say "to the lamp of love: may it burn brightest in the darkest hours and never flicker in the winds of trial." I will always love you, plus one.

So I have missed about 5 weeks of posting. Well I've updated my running log at the bottom of the posting. As you may see I had a hard 5 weeks. The scale barely moving then going way up and then I dropped it all plus more the following week. I am finally out of the 370's which I never thought I would be. I am hoping to blow through the 360's quickly. I have set my goal to celebrate the new year under 300 pounds. I know its a long way for me but I am motivated. Well the 5K that I have been training for since early spring is coming up this Saturday August 15th at Lake Zorinsky. I am at the point in my interval training that I am running for 15 minutes and walking only 5 minutes then back to running for 15 minutes. I hope to have before and after pictures of me at the 5k, it will be the after pictures that will be interesting. Cheer me on say some good words, maybe a prayer. Also this week we had a wellness clinic at work. I was measured. When I started on my journey I was 60 inches at my waist, now I am at 53 inches. All my blood work chlolestral, glucose came back good. I am proud about that. Keep watching for update post 5K and picture. It will be good.
