Leeda....my thing with running now is my weight. First off I get shin splints so bad that I have little knobs on my shins now from the scar tissue when I tried to run before. Secondly because of my csection I've got the "apron" how do I say this nicely...it flaps when I run! LOL! Oye! I think once I get a little smaller maybe I can, I want to try but I dunno. I need a girdle first LOL!
Oh the lasting memories of childbirth!! Stretchmarks, and aprons! I can relate. Bleck that really sucks about the shin splints. I guess you are smart to wait it out. I will be so happy when you do do it though. And I know it will be in the near future because you are doing so well!
I get so excited when I hear about another person starting to run. I know people look at me sometimes and raise a skeptical eyebrow when I say that I run, but hey, I want them know you don't have to be a size 6 to be active. Ok, that's enough of my jabbering....time for bed Have a great sunday everyone!
Mel, I have the same thing, The shin splints, heck I get them from walking on hilly surfaces and whatnot and the apron. I hate it but i think even when I am thinner, I'll still have "the apron" or at least lose skin there, YUCK! O'well...scars of motherhood. I want to run too and I was gonna start in Oct but that's when that butthead almost ran me over and I skinned up my leg. I think I've only walked outside since that one time. Which sucks because I do love the fall, but I get this social anxiety thing and he just totally did me in with exercising out doors for right now. Maybe this Spring when I am thinner.
Anyway, it was a weird food day. First of all i totally forgot to eat lunch and then dinner just sucked. I ttoally didn't like it at all so I barley ate anything, so I compesated with peanut butter and Rosttbeef deli meat. I think I am getting really picky....

I feel skinny today! LOL...I love days like this where you can just tell you are losing weigh and getting smaller. I still think if I stay the course I could totally be in the 220s on thanksgiving. That will also be 25 lbs lost for me. So exciting!!!
I've got a bunch of homework to do today. No football for me since the broncos play monday night. Tomorrow is going to be busy busy busy!
I dont know about anyone else but I'm just antsy about starting cooking for Thanksgiving. I wanted to start something last night but there's nothing to really do this early. I'm telling you this energy thing is freakin me out! I cant just sit and watch a movie anymore I gotta be doing something. This must be how fit and healthy people are LOL!

OK, I once again ate horribly yesterday, but I will post it to get it out there. Maybe it'll help me do better today.
Saturday
Breakfast: Coffee and a banana
Lunch: Cheese cubes and a bowl of Cocoa Krispies w/soy milk (I know, not a good mix)

I need to stop eating Doritos. I'm pretty sure if I read the ingredients, I'll find MSG, along with other ingredients that are destroying my body.
Oops I forgot that I am going to a Creative Memories Open House today. So my menu will change but of course I will remain OP. My friend specifically made 1pt cookies for me. Wasn't that sweet? I will check in later because after the Open House I'm stopping by my parents house too.

Well the show went well... too well in fact. I only have 10 of the paper type journals left... So I have to work over-time again this week. I was hoping to relax a little this week since my next show this Saturday is smaller, but oh well I guess it's a good problem to have right? But no relaxing for me because I still have another show after that.
I was on plan the last 3 days but since I didn't have time to write it all down I guess I have to bow out gracefully of the challenge, which kills me because I lovvvve handmade things... LOL and I'm curious!
Looks like everyone is doing well! Kick *** girls!
Well no change on the scale. I am happy with that based on eating at O'Charley's, Cracker Barrel, and at my friend's yesterday. I really want to lose at least 1 pound this week. I know it's Thanksgiving but dammit I don't want to have to type 221 in again. Besides if I lose 1 pound I will have lost 20 lbs overall. 18 lbs for the challenge but 20 overall. I will do my best.
Today's Menu

Good Morning Sunshines!! Well this is what I woke up to today

Only one day till they are out on break and they still make em go in this!
Okay that means I've got to leave alot earlier and I've got some shoveling to do so I better get, I'll be back later to check on you if I can. Super busy day for me as the PTA puts on dinner for the teachers today and I've got both Parent Teacher Conferences this afternoon.
