It's time to resurrect my blog! I plan to use this space again for weekly updates. I've made a few other commitments of late and I need to make sure I hold myself accountable. Blogging is how I intend to do so.
I am also beginning to run again - it's been almost a year since my half marathon and it's time.

I haven't posted a blog post in a long time, or entered a photo to I Heart Faces in quite some time either.
SO, it's time to do just that. I took this photo yesterday and was going to post it as my photo of the day on my A Day in 365 Photo challenge. I was super excited to see today's category on I Heart Faces was On Your Feet!

Unfortunately, for me, it's not a downtime moment. I have to hit the grindstone and get some work (real work) done, UGH!
The only way I can deal right now is to keep focusing on exercise. And hey, that's good for the body, right?

This has been a good week. I don't see it so much on the scale, but I feel better. (Most of the time) I feel like the working out has been effective even though I am not doing the boot camp as I had planned.

I feel like a broken record. I am always saying my weight is going up and down like a roller coaster or like a yo-yo, but it is so true, so I am skipping that for today and moving on with fun stuff!
Let's talk about some accomplishments!

Burstn2Summer Weigh-in DayI worked hard this week with keeping food at a healthy high and a sweet low. It was necessary since I was forced to make many changes to my cardio routine.
Friday brought me the news about my knee and why it was so sore. I have Chondromalacia patella. Fancy word for old body, crappy knees.

I am up again. I know I made bad choices over the holiday weekend, so I know that is why. And I am okay with it.

I feel I met all my goals set for the week - food wise. It's a great feeling to know I met those goals. The goals I didn't meet were the race training goals. I trained, just not as much as I need to be.
Here's where things are lacking:

I haven't completely lost perspective, but the past couple of months have not been very easy. A household of sickness for almost two months, and just when that was clearing up, it was time for pollen season to roll in. I think we're starting to see a bit more clearly now.

Except I'm up a little again. I am not stressed this is all normal, plus we had olives with dinner the last two days. That adds in the bloating. Yeah me! Not good for a weight loss challenge, but it isn't abnormal.
My Dr. appointment for today was postponed, so that is why there isn't any other news. Hoping for something new to report next week. We'll see.
