It’s been almost one month since my last blog entry and that was after the Glass City 1/2 Marathon. Since that race I participated in the Bob Semer 10k in Fremont but haven’t done much else. I’m at another one of those crossroads where I’m trying to figure out what to do next. I have a 5k race this weekend in Genoa but short of that I’m kind of aimlessly wandering again.. I’ve got to find some direction soon or this could be a disaster. The kids will be out of school on June 5th and even though the thought of having them here all day sends chills down my spine (yes I love my kids but they drive me nuts as well) it will free up early morning for exercise again. Last year I found that if I got up before them (so pretty much anytime before noon) then I could get out for a run or to the rec. center and then get home, showered and to work early. The school drop off shuffle I got through now makes it nearly impossible to get any exercise in before trying to sit down and work and once I plop in front to the computer it’s game over & exercise out the window. I’m going to try and establish a new routine and stick to it. I know I can do it, I have done it before but now it’s a matter of wanting to do it.
My weight has gone up. I won’t lie. It’s been steadily on the rise. It’s something that I need to reel in and get control of again. I have no excuses, I have been lazy, plain and simple. I have been putting in more than I have been putting out… simply put. I need to find someone who can hold me accountable and keep me in check. It is so much easier (ok maybe not easier but more tolerable) to maintain the exercise and nutrition when you have support and that is something I haven’t had for a while and I miss it. In the WW meetings they always talked about having a friend to take the “journey” with and it really is true that having that support is the key to success.
That’s about it for now. I’m done whining. I’ve been fighting allergies all day and I’m heavily dosed on allergy meds so I’ll use that as my excuse for the long rambling rant.
Thanks for reading,
Tammy

After talking to u earlier about u running in august in Memphis I want to remind u how humid it gets here and also how hot. u had trouble earlier with your run in Ohio and Memphis could only be worse.
Oh Yeah I remember how warm and humid it is down there. The race starts at 8am and it’s only a 5k so I think I will be ok and if it gets too bad I can always walk. I’m not ashamed of that anymore
