Stacy and Eric are having a Running Bootcamp 2 days a week in the evenings that I really want to do, but I simply don't have the time right now and the last thing I need is to add another thing onto my already full plate. I'm sure there will be another after I graduate and I'll do it then.
In the meantime, I'm trying to decide between the Gobble Jog in Marietta or the Thanksgiving Day 5K in Atlanta. I still have time to decide, but I love the idea of knocking out a 5K first thing T'giving morning so that I can eat ALL THE TURKEY I WANT!!!
I plan on heading over to Big Peach Running either today or tomorrow to get me a new pair of kicks! I really need to invest in a good pair of running shoes if I'm going to be putting more time into it so that these feet will last a long time. I also worry about that stupid foot going numb. From what I've read, there seems that there's pressure on a nerve somewhere either in my foot, ankle or leg, that is causing this. I seem to have some of the same symptoms as people on different running forums where the moment I stop running, feeling comes back. So weird, and it's not because my laces are too tight cause they were pretty loose on Saturday.
Stacy took my measurements this week and I had shrinking in all areas, but the biggest reduction was in my arms, going down an inch and a quarter… WHOA!!!
Things are settling down a little and there seems to be a bit of "normalcy" lately, well, as normal as things can get around here. I'm still plugging away at my internship Mondays and Wednesdays (crossing my fingers that they offer me a job) and going to class on Tuesdays, and makin' beads on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and then Sunday is Gods day for Football!!! It's a busy schedule, but I keep telling myself that it will all be over in 2 months. It's just been difficult juggling all things while writing my thesis paper and exercising.
It's time to start celebrating the little accomplishments as well as the big ones. Of course the scale is going down, my body is shrinking, and people are starting to notice. But the things that no one talks about are my rings relentlessly spinning around my fingers, my necklace hanging lower around my neck, my shoes are looser around my feet, the increase in energy that I have daily, and the realization that I need to pick up a smaller sports bra cause this one isn't working out so well anymore. It's those small things that no one thinks of or could even notice, that I feel are to be celebrated even more than the number on the scale or in my clothes.
Not much more to say, been busy, wish I had more time to update my blog, but you'll just have to wait until December for more frequent posts.
Weekly Goal: Download more music to add to my "keep moving mix" for running… Any suggestions?
HUGS XOXOX
