Mary - CONGRATULATIONS! I am so excited for you. Clarissa is amazing!
Vicki - I hope you were able to get some sleep. I tend toward insomnia and it is no fun. Especially when I look at the baby finally sleeping peacefully and I am wide awake as can be. After a few days, it starts really wearing on me.
Josie - you know it is true love when your bf carries an elliptical down three flights for ya
Carla - I am so jealous - It has always been my dream to sing in a dance band! Of course, I can't sing. But I can't think of a job more exciting than that!
Jami - thanks for Bill's words. I too have felt stuck and needed to hear them.
Patty - I'm sorry about the clot. Give yourself the rest you need and try not to get too discouraged.
Brett - Hal Higdon training?
I am still stuggling a little, but hanging in there. My eating has been OK and my workouts fine, but I just don't feel the drive that I felt doing BFL in the past. I am getting ready to take my 6 week progress pictures and measurements. I have lost 8 pounds, so that is decent (although I'm use to a little faster progress than that). It is a challenge because I'm still nursing the little one - helpful because it burns calories - a challenge because I tend to be hungrier and I need to be cautious about not losing too quickly anyway.
Hubby and I are taking the two babies to an Inn on a lake tonight to watch fireworks and stay the night. I have packed shrimp cocktail, salad, fresh fruit, and hummus (a little higher in fat, but mostly from tahini and olive oil). I just returned from a run with my 12 year old daughter.
I'm hoping that the progress pictures and Assignment #6 fire me up a little. I'm also giving myself constant pep talks about how I have 12 weeks to go which is what I have done for BFL in the past and I'm actually closer to my goals than I was in 2006 during my last challenge.
Anyway - I'm far from out of this race, just feeling a little down and sleep deprived.
I'm headed out for a fabulous family outing. It is a glorious day! Thank you for listening!
