Today I realize just how much work I have to do before Disneyland. I don't need the RnR to confirm it. LOLSee - this morning - I ache. A lot. My weight has fluctuated up and down, but hovers around where it is today - 318.4. My measurements have gone down a bit, but not my waist size. But - as the stressful part of things with my parents closes, and I see the end in sight, I know that I have the time to make the changes I need to make. And the strength. And the will.
What I won't do is beat myself up about where I currently am. It's useless. Besides, it often leads me to overeating to satisfy. And that doesn't work. So what I choose to do is delight that I'm still here - still pushing - still succeeding.
This Saturday I complete my second half-marathon. I know already how painful Sunday is going to be. But I will earn every ounce of that pain with every step. And I will smile and be proud as I cross the finish line!
Speaking of which - Dana - the race ends downtown - near QWEST field. You can find details for spectators at www.rnrseattle.com - the race starts at 7am - I'd expect me through the finish line between 10:30 and 11am. I'll be in a bright highlighter yellow shirt that says "Team Voice" on it. :)
I have big plans for my Disneyland trip - and I intend to earn every one of the rewards by working hard between now and then. I'll even go easy at the 4th of July BBQ. :) I'm taking exercise equipment to Oklahoma with me so I can keep up the cross training while I'm gone.
I'm going to put this all together folks. For me. For you. For Amber. And for the Bean (who's name I'm STILL not sharing yet).
MAIN STREET AWAITS!

Allright J-man, get out there and NIKE!!! (aka Just Do It)
oh, and make sure you "Git ya head in the game" ;-)
Sorry I've been absent for a while...been dealing with some issues of my own, but happy to get back on track.
Okay, this pain is good. It means that you're working and your body is changing. Enjoy the pain - realize what it means - that you're out there doing this! You'll be stronger, happier, and healthier for the DL Half.
I cannot wait to hear how you do this weekend. I know you're going to rock the RnR and make us all very proud!
Ahhhh, Just advice.. Cold water bath after the race. It helps the lactic acid from building up.
And more core workout, to help the numbers in the waist to go down. I am battling that. All my numbers are going down ,but my waist is hanging on.. SO my trainer has gave me this core workout that's WOW!!!
I am excited for this weekend. I will be at work, so 11a your time is 2p my time.So I have to wait ALL DAY Before I hear from you about the race!?! Oh the torture.;)
To quote Rob Schneider from every Adam Sandler film he has been in.
"You can do it!!!"
