Split Personality







Laura, you two are so funny. What a great support system you provide one another. I wish I had that. I wish I could re-locate my other half.
It has been such a strugle lately eating well. And I too am just getting over a little cold so it's rough finding energy. But, Captain and I went for about a two mile run last night in the neighborhood. I love running in our neighborhood so much. I always get a little lost because it is so huge but Cap and I end up on a major road that takes us home each time. It's like a little adventure.



I'm dressing as Princess Aurora for Halloween so I have new motivation to be skinny. I never run out of motivation, just will power. Nobody likes a fat princess.




Last night we had Crystal and Nick over for dinner and cooked a new amazing recipe, spicy tortilla soup and empanadas. B and I are becoming quite the chefs. I can only get him to eat things that are meaty, have sustinance and sound like they're a little bad for you. It's tricky. The soup was probably not so bad, lots of veggies and spices. The empanada could have been healthier but hey, they were not fried at least. I only ate one empanada and a small bowl of soup. Where did I go wrong? In the tortilla chips and dip we set out before dinner. I decided taht the key to solving this problem will be to plan our menus the weekend before so that we are not starving come Monday evening and have to nibble while we cook. If we get started on our cooking earlier, we will have food on the table in time for dinner.


Tonight, I'll need a nap because I'm so stopped up and drowsy that it's haAdd Imagerd to hold my head up at work. I'll nap, run and see if I can muster up some energy for a weight lifting video. Gotta get back into weight training because for me it made all the difference. And tonight I'll stop at the store and get a little notebook to start writing down each bite I take. That also makes a world of difference.




I'm proud Laura (s), that you are sticking with it and motivating yourself when others are eating chips and dip that they don't need. So the goal is to run the entire 5K? You can do it! I'm excited for the run. It's so fun to people watch and feel like you're a part of something HUGE. And Susan G Komen - enormous. Everyone at Seton is doing it.

Keep up the self talk. And keep reminding me to blog. You are NOT alone.
