Back from yet another family reunion - seems like we have a lot more family this year. It's been fun and we have loved every minute. It's taught me that I can eat what I need to whether I'm sitting at home or traveling. Isn't that what it's all about? Eating healthy in real life. I'm finding that real life isn't sitting home being able to eat every meal on a schedule, eating what you've planned. It's being able to make good choices about eating where ever and when ever that maybe. Why? Cuz life happens!

When I was camping I did run one day. I thought I could run from our camp to the lookout tower on the top of the mountain - 3 miles. I started and only made it a mile before I turned back. I actually thought I would puke - I couldn't catch my breath and I couldn't run for more than a minute. I really underestimated what elevation does and how steep it was - I was dreaming but I tried. Next time I will have my dear husband drive me to the top and run down!

Ran today for the first time this week. Felt good. Felt slow but actually about normal. I haven't been working out everyday and that's a real problem. I need to get up every morning and get that routine back before school starts again. I need to work out every day. I'm close to my 50 pound mark and I want to get there -- I am close to the 200 pound mark and I'm gonna get there -- BUT I have to work our 5 days a week not 3 --

I don't think I've told anyone this -- I was so excited when it happened. I needed some new shorts - I found some cute ones - took a size 18 and a 16 in to try on. The 16s fit! Oh joy! I was so excited. It's been years since I wore a 16! Yeah!
