Just plugging along...

Life is just moving along and I'm moving along with it.  I don't seem to be struggling with my eating nearly as much as I have in the past of couple of weeks, though its too early to say I'm back on track.  But I feel more in control, which makes it easier to stay away from the processed foods.

Definitely doing better with the activity.  I ran on Friday and did a (short) workout video on Saturday and today.  I was supposed to run 6.5 miles yesterday, but my fibroid issue was causing me some problems, so went for a 3.6 mile walk with Sibyl, Juli, and Juli's daughters instead.  

Still not feeling confident about the upcoming races (5K Saturday, 1/2 Marathon Sunday).  I know I can finish, but I would very much like to complete both races with a decent pace and not feel dead afterwards.  Realistically, I should set my goal to just complete the races and not be picked up by the white vans.  (And yes, RunDisney does have the white vans... I'm seen them trailing behind some slow walkers!)

Definitely a lot of challenges coming up in the next week or so.  Traveling, eating out, the races (and properly fueling before, during and after without overeating), and cold weather here in Montana.  Yep, I use cold weather as an excuse to eat more.  Actually, I will come up with any excuse to eat more...

I'm just taking it one day at time and try to focus on the positives in my life.  That seems to be working for now.  We'll see how the next couple of days goes and see if I can take off some of the weight I have gained.  Frustrated with myself for getting to this point.  I'm at the highest weight I've been since May 2010.  I did figure out a lot of that may have to do with the fact that I had totally gotten out my routine with exercise.  Which is why I'm working at getting back in the routine.  Just hoping the vacation doesn't throw me off too bad. 

Short post today, but just don't have a lot to say.  I'm just plugging away, doing what I need to do, and hoping it works!
