Wait & See!

Sorry for any of you who were actually waiting for my selfies every day.... they got out of order & missed in the craziness of posting them on FB and the blog.... I will, for now, be only posting them on fb, and when they're done, I'll post 'em like I did my Lenten photos from last year. 

Happy blogging!

Another Brain-Dump

Do you have anything you've just gotta get out of your mind & into print somewhere?  I get that way every now and then, and this time my journal just doesn't suffice - because it's ABOUT my journal! 

I write all the time - ALL THE TIME!  On post-it's, on blogs, in journals.... I do!  But one thing I'm absolutely horrible about is finishing the journal to the very last page.  I'm determined to do it this time... I swear!  This chronical of my life between 06/2012 and 09/2013 is soooo close to being done, and part of me wants to start in on my new journal as a symbolic "turning the page" after breaking up with JJ, but I have a good 24 pages left... that's about one more month, if I write at least a little bit every day.... I CAN DO IT!



What do you have that you just gotta get out of that noggin'?

A Healthy Dose of Self-Sabatoge on a Not-Monday Morning

So, that's what I'm calling it.  That's what it is.  I have my lunch sack all packed with healthy snacks - greek yogurt, a white peach, Starbucks strawberry-lemonade refresher... and what did I have for breakfast?  I got myself some coffee in the breakroom with WAY too much french vanilla creamer, 4 mozzerella sticks from the 7-11 next door, and some bacon-cheddar potato chips. 

Why? 

Because I'm down a total of 20 lbs since 4th of July and my clothes don't fit any different, I feel a little healthier, but after seeing pictures of myself at my cousin's wedding, and especially next to my super cute, super trendy sister in-laws, I look like a whale-out-of-water.

*sigh*

So I allowed myself to stress-eat.  And now I'll be going to the gym and swimming after my Couch to 5k run tonight.  And that's okay.  I can't always keep telling myself "no" or I will feel like I'm constantly punishing myself.  Next time, though, I need to pick ONE of my stress-foods to give in & eat, not "all of the above". 

I'd like to keep my 20 lbs "lost" and keep losing more.... As long as my heart and my stupid ankle cooperate, I should be done with the "Week One" for Couch to 5k by Friday!  Which is exciting, because I've registered for the Hot Chocolate Seattle run, and am starting to look at other 5k's that I can handle... maybe, by this time next year, I'll be doing the 15k?! 

I'm trying to be slick & hyperlink the run, but can't seem to get the shortcuts & functions to work on this out-dated version of IE.  Soooo, click here! http://www.hotchocolate15k.com/seattle/

See you at the gym, folks!  *grin*
