I'm still here! Have not given up!!!
It has been a crazy couple of weeks. I was in San Diego with Renee and came home a few days early because my Dad is not doing well. Just a little bit more tired every day. He also had a mini stroke (TIA for those of you in the biz). No residual effects from that...just fatigues very quickly. So I have neglected my blog!
Some statistics: First month wt loss: 8 pounds
Struggling with desire for sugar when things get emotionally tough. I realized the other day that the last thing I am is draconian about anything so perhaps I could ease up on myself just a bit. One doughnut (that damn magnet at dunkin doughnuts) did not lead to a dozen. And because I am not nearly evolved as I would like to be, the doughnut helped. Not for long. But for a few moments I felt calmer and happier. I know the goal is to get that feeling from exercising, meditating and breathing. I will not stop working towards that goal. Baby steps.
My eye is on the prize of finishing the sprint (Patrick insists I clarify it is the sprint distance, lest anyone get the idea I was competing in the full distance) triathlon, introducing everyone to Patrick, his journey and mine and raising a ton of money for him.
EXCELLENT! Perhaps there's money to be made in your shedding pounds, as well? I'll now go look up triathalon...kinda hoping it might be a biathalon, but...
ReplyDeleteSorry we missed seeing each other when you were here.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good daughter.
Love You.
I will be praying for you and the family. I hope your dad is in a place of comfort. Let me know if I can be of any help.
ReplyDeleteEat the doughnuts. Stop worrying before you give yourself a stroke thinking about them...lol. This is 2011 thick is the style. So don't say your fat say I'm Thick!!!
