Oh my, how time flies!  when we decided to sign up for the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon, we gave ourselves 16 months to prepare.  Well, we are one month away from the race and I do not feel prepared at all!  It has become painfully obvious to me that I may not make the time qualification and thus get picked up. I'm ok with that now, if it happens.  I figured out after the Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 Marathon in San Antonio'  The sad thing that happened is that I emotionally gave up.  I quit having the desire to train.  It has taken me over a month to get my head in gear and back on track with my training.

Looking Back...

One of my favorite shows to watch is the Biggest Loser.  I used to watch it while eating pizza, popcorn, etc.  I have come a long ways from those days.  I now can relate when they talk about what caused them to gain weight.  I always thought I was fat.  Even growing up, I was a model and national baton twirler.  I always had to watch what I ate and was always being told I was too heavy.  Not until I was in my mid 30's did I realize I was not fat in high school!I found a picture from my senior year modeling portfolio.  I showed it to my husband and asked him if I was fat in that picture.  He looked at me a little strangely and said no, why?  I told him that even when I looked at that picture in high school, I thought I was fat!  it didn't matter that I wore a size 12, I felt fat!!

Today...

When I started working on my weight, I weighed 218 pounds.  I decided that I would lose down to 170 pounds and then keep my weight there.  I was not going to worry about the medical recommendations at all.  The funny thing is that I now weight 172 pounds and have decided that I am not done.  I am going to try for 150.  I think I will like that number.  lol

Gotta quit for now.
