My competition in training or a race is not all the other runners - my competition is that little voice in my head that tells me I should quit.
For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20 NRSV

It's all good but I need to get real again

The laptop is back.

So, maybe, just maybe I will be back to updating on my runs and weight loss or lack thereof.

I was looking at how many miles were logged since the start of this blog and it says 53.  53!
That is good.....better than 0.

The weight loss...not so good.  Just stuck on the six pounds. I haven't stuck to the Weigh In Wednesdays, so maybe that is my problem. I need to get real and stick to it...ignoring isn't helping.

Running outside is so much more fun than the treadmill.  I am really enjoying it.  It is still VERY difficult though.  I am beat after 2 miles and during that two miles.  Trying to remain positive about the 4 mile Run Like a Mother.  I am really anxious to run with a friend on Friday. She is going to kick my butt, though.

It has been really warm in the afternoons here which is when I would try to complete my runs, so I am going to have to change to early mornings.  That means getting my lazy buns up, which won't be an easy task.  Any suggestions for motivating me??

Why is it that I start out with such good intentions and then fall back into bad habits........?? I know, habits are hard to break. 

That's all for now.  No run as of yet today.  I NEED to start tomorrow with morning runs.  You'll have to check back in to see if I did it....:) Go me!
