Nothing like a lunch with your besties to get you back on track.
The best thing about good friends is their ability to tell you what you need to hear in a productive way. I always say...it's not WHAT you say, it's HOW you say it. Friends just know - they know you well enough to present the information in a way that will get you to understand. They won't say, "Get over yourself" they will say, "Have you thought about it this way?" Friends know what you need. Friends seem to have the ability to call, out of the blue, because they think you might need them.
Feeling bad for yourself is not productive. I've learned that the hard way.
Staying positive is a challenge - one that I think I'm for.
I'm going to get over my damn self. My words. Not my friends' words.

Day 73...
It's been an interesting week....
I've been trying to stay on course, but I've notcied I've been a little lax with my eating habits. I've kept up with my exercise which is probably why I'm not seeing any changes - it is an even exchange.
I need to step it up.
I did learn something about myself - I am now handeling stress different. In the past, I would have delt with it with food...chocolate, beer, you name it. I'm not doing that anymore. I know it is good I'm not, but I haven't really found an outlet to release it...
I'm working on myself...trying not to be too sensitive, trying not to be "jr high-ish" as I call it. Trying not to take things personally. Trying not to get my feelings hurt. It's hard though. I have a friend that is doing some meditation. Maybe that's something I should try. Something to calm me the f*ck down. Something to help me realize that I need to take care of #1, I shouldn't care what people think, I shouldn't be surprised what people do. It's just easier said than done. Maybe I am that person. The one that talks too much. The one that doesn't listen. The one that people don't really want to be around...After all, I am blogging about myself - what does that say. I have an online diary. Seriously. I can't be the only people that thinks this way can I?
My 5K is in 24 days. I'm getting nervous and excited. I ran outside last Friday and did pretty good. I'm going to try running outside again tonight. Not giving up, that's what is getting me through the day....that and my wonderful husband
"Stay, Stay, Stay...I've being loving you for quite some time, time, time. You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad. But I think that it's best if we both stay."

Day 63....
Well....I am doing MUCH better than the last time I posted! I know that everyone goes though a rough patch...I was just going through mine.
Tonight I will be starting my last week of the Couch to 5K program. Yep - I've been at it for 9 weeks. I never thought that when I started back on January 11th I would make it. I never thought I would be able to run/jog for 28 minutes IN A ROW! Tonight I will try to run/jog for 30 minutes and then I will try to jog an entire 5K.
My husband, my nephew and my nephew's girlfriend will be running the 5K also. I think I was better when I was running it without family present - but I can't be afraid. My goal is to run the entire thing and not finish last!
I have hit the 20lb mark. I was going to buy myself a new sweatshirt, but I have been spending money like it grows on tree, so I'm counting the new jeans I bought (the first ones without a "W" after the number) and new running pants toward this one. I still think at 25 lbs I'm going to buy a new pair of shoes. Not sure if they will be running shoes or boots or fun shoes.
I have been a little lax in my habits the last few weeks. I'm still losing which I like - it's nice to know I can do (and by do - I mean eat and drink) what I want - but I'm able to scale it down and by exercising every day (I haven't missed a day since I started this journey on January 1) it seems to even everything out. I want to get back in the habit of bringing my lunch. I just need to not be lazy in that department. How can I exercise every day but not put my shoes in the closest or my clothes away or pack my lunch. I need to be better about that.
I've been a little stressed at work which doesn't help - but at least I'm not turning to food. I feel better after working out so for now, that seems to work. I was going to have to travel this week but because of the weather, I'm staying put. This is going to help - I hope!!
Well...day 63...21 lbs lost...19 to my first goal weight - and my goal date is 4/30....over 1/2 way there.
