Leeda: Running in a Fat Suit

Man runs marathons while pushing quadruplets

I can say with all honesty that is one thing I will never try. One, I don’t have quadruplets, two, that’s insane, and I am not insane.

I ran 2 miles today on the hilly course with ONE baby in his stroller. I got a reminder that I really need to watch where I’m running. I almost twisted my ankle on an pine cone that was in the road. I certainly dont want that again. Eating went well today, I stayed in my calorie range. I’m going to try to eat small amount of honey to sweeten things instead of splenda. I really want to get off of artificial sweetners period. We will see how it goes.

 Honey by the way is pretty neat stuff.

I will not fail at this weight loss journey. I’ve worked too hard and come to far and yet I feel myself slipping away from it. So here’s fess up time: I’ve been eating like crap lately. I start off the day with good intentions, tracking my calories, and then it all goes to hell by noon. I tried to go running yesterday and stopped .5 miles in. Ok, the baby was screaming, but I know that if I’d gone on for abotu 2 more minutes that he would’ve stopped. I just chose to stop running.

And finally, the real kicker: I’ve not weighed myself in a couple of days. Yes, I, who weigh myself everyday, has been avoiding the scale. This is always a bad,bad sign. I need to get things back in place the way that they were. I will write more later.
