Hey ladies!

Yay mercury! Glad you are back in wonderland. I am ... not :-/ I weigh in on monday but I am sure it will not be great but my own fault. That coat is freaking fantastic! I've been looking for a winter coat for weeks. That is too cute.

Nancy - hope your trainer session went well today!

Turbo - a 10K ? Holy cow! Congratulations! That is wonderful. I hope your ankle feels better soon My shins have just now stopped hurting and I'll be back running tomorrow.

I've had such an emotional week. I don't remember how much I've shared but... I'm married but divorcing. Yet we still live together because we have two kids and he is supporting me while I finish my degree. I move into my own bedroom this week. He clearly started seeing someone and is hiding it, but at the same time not coming home and when he does come home he sleeps all day. Its... frustrating. Not because I'm jealous but because I get annoyed that he assumes I will pick up the slack with the kids. Of course I will because that is my job and always has been, but... it just isn't fair. I guess that is life tho. The problem is when I get all moody about it all I eat poorly. :-/ At least I've been at the gym but still... I've eaten horribly.

I found this neat new android app called Noom tho and I'm going to try tracking with it and see how it goes this week! I need to find my feet again.

It always makes me sad when I read one of you is having a rough time!

Must be such a weird situation being in, patchy! Your food control wasn't maybe the best, but the fact you still went to gym is a good side of the situation. Hope you're next week will be better And glad for you your ankle is back on track! I just HATE when I'm hurt... I want to do so much and then the stupid body decides somethings else!

Hang in ther Patchy the times will get better I promise.

Yes I had my training session last night it was ok nothing real great he showed me how to use another one of the machines but most of the time I used a 10lb weight. We did 80% upper body.

Today I am off to the gym to do just some cardio. I like using the ellipticals because each one has a tv and I can watch my favorite cabel shows LOL I don't have that at home so I plan my weekend workouts around Top Chef...yeah I know watching cooking shows while I am working out trying to lose weight

Thanks Turbo *hug*

Nancy - I love the elliptical. It is one of my favorite things

A little better on food today and I ran another 2 miles this morning. Hello sore shins again but... not as bad as last week.

Ugh I wrote this big long response then deleted it.

Nancy I always watch cooking shows when i work out too. It's funny but whatever gets you through it right? Good job on the exercise! Whishi could say the same.

Patchy I'm sorry to hear of your personal struggles. You sound like a great mommy, and looking after your kids is a major priority. You will get through this rough patch and find your feet again soon. At least your getting in the workouts right?

Turbo when do you start your training? I'm so jealous maybe I need a good physical goal like that to get started again. I use to be a serious runner until I injured my foot over a year ago.

As for myself. We moved yesterday. My hubby and I and my 2 daughters. But hubby and I do all the lifting. My diet sucked but I'm counting the move as my exercise. Since we have sooo many stairs it has to count for something right? I didn't weigh in and now have t find a new WW meeting. But today is the start of my new week so restart!

I'm living by this "it's not whether we get knocked down,but whether we get back up that counts!"

Something like that lol. Ok off to unpack and walk the dog. Hope everyone has a great sunday!

Official training is starting TUESDAY!

I'M following a program designed by Jen-Yves Cloutier, he's like a run guru over here and he's the one designing the training programs for the Montreal Marathon (5k, 10k, half and full)

Everything is on the website, if you want. It starts by a 8 weeks fitness training followed by a specific training that you pick considering in what time you'd like to do the distance and you R1 pace (R1 is you basic runnign pace, the one you can ran the longest with)

It's quite easy to follow but it kinda need some kind of device (I have an old garmin watch) to follow your pace though :S

Anyway, let me know if you want more informations about it, I'd be glad to help


Have a good sunday everyone!
