Keeping Up With Change

Wow, it has been 10 months since my last post. Currently I've moved and starting to get my life back into order. I know that excuses only satisfy those who make them but I'm really trying to figure out what I want for my life. Although I have not accomplished what I've set out to do, I am still determined to run a marathon. This past week I've ran three times. For me, that is a fantastic accomplishment! I'm anxious to start my second week of training. I think I've finally figured out why I've struggled to achieve my weight loss and fitness goals. I've come to the conclusion that I start too many things at once. I should know myself by now that that type of strategy does not work for me. I am easily overwhelmed and the best bet for me is to tackle one thing at a time. Right now running is the only thing on my agenda. Weight loss will come but for now my goal is to run and to focus on training.

To all those who have consistently believed in me when I did not believe in myself, thank you.

It's Been A While

I know I haven't been posting lately but my personal life is not going so well right now. I have, however, been keeping up with my running despite this week. I have only ran one day out of the week so far. It's been snowy and really cold and I've had no energy to go out for a run. I can't let the weather effect my training but unfortuneately I let it happen. Oh well, I have to move forward. Each day is a brand new day. Hope to post again soon. Life is messy, what can I say.

The Dreaded Weigh-in and First Day As A Grad Student

I hope everyone, who reads this blog, had a wonderful holiday. I can't complain it was really nice spending time with my family and especially my niece, Bella. So, even though I had a nice Christmas, I however got the flu from my sister-in-law. Needless to say, I did not make it to the gym and especially did not find myself running outside. Oh well, I must keep moving. This is life, right? You get sick, take some time off to rest and recover and then get right back on track.

The most dreaded part of my new journey I'm on is the dreaded weigh-in. I guess I should say that I had my last supper this evening, Cox BBQ and my favorite, Orange Leaf. It was delicious and I savored every single bite! Yes, I know that I can have this type of food on Weight Watchers, it's just that I want to get off to a good start. Once I'm in full mode, I'll give myself permission to have some of my favorites. Anyhow, I must say I'm a little scared. Oh well, I have accepted my weight gain and ready to spend 2011 moving towards a new me!

Oh so many things are happening this week. Tomorrow is my first official day of being a grad student. I can't believe it :) I purchased my books this afternoon and feel very confident in starting my program.

My calendar is put in place and I have nifty little stickers to accommodate my organizational needs. I have never felt so good about a new year. I truly feel that 2011 will be my year.

To everyone reading my blog, have a great week.
