So I totally planned on writing some nice (long) retrospective blog entry about my weight loss journey for my birthday. This is not it. I am simply trying to get my brain to turn off enough for me to get some sleep before work in the morning. I haven't been doing great the last couple of weeks, but thankfully I haven't done horrible either. I have tried to balance things out and still get my fruits and veggies in on days I eat 2 cheeseburgers. I have still been doing to the gym and putting in a workout even if it hasn't been the best workout of my life.

But I can't keep doing that. I need to be putting in full workouts cardio and strength. And I need to be eating on plan whole-y not picking and chooseing aspects of it. I actually did good today, still had a couple daily points left over. But I think my biggest problem is that I am still so horrible about the measuring and weighing of foods. I do a lot of eyeballing, and that doesn't work. So that is what I am gonna work on this week, measuring.

    Hey Sandy, I am feeling the same way. I gained this week, 0.4, but I am having the same issues. I don't seem to be full-heart in it right now and I need to be. I haven't been working out, at all, either. I wish I had an easy answer, but we'll get through this. I know we will.

Welcome Back and Hip Surgery updates.

It's been a "little" while. As in a long while. And while so much happened in nearly 4 years since my last post, I will save all that catching up for another day. One of the biggest things though is that I had hip surgery earlier this year. I've gone through a lot and I have learned a lot too. In the coming weeks I will be sharing more details about the diagnosis and surgery itself, as well as some tips and tricks I learned surviving the time at home while living alone. For now, however, I just wanted to say "Hi, I'm Back, I've missed this",  and share my week-by-week updates from weeks 1 through 10.  January 20 :  I am HOME! It was a super early morning full of anxiety and nerves. Things rolled super smoothly once there. Pre-Op nurse got the IV started. Surgeon in and reviewed the planned surgery and left his initials on my hip. Anesthesia came in and cleared my airway and went over her part. OR Nurse walked me back to the OR, got me all settled on

Well, it's official. I am registered for my next half-marathon. I am once again doing the Holiday Half in December. It's been on the calendar for months, but I hadn't actually committed. I was kinda stuck. I was super nervous to register because I felt like my training wasn't going anywhere, I wasn't being consistent with it, my long walks weren't happening, the shin pain was back and all that kept me from registering. Yet, I also knew that by not registering I wasn't putting enough pressure on myself to be consistent with the training, because it wasn't official there was still a chance I wasn't gonna committ, so why put myself through it. But it is official now. I have registered, I customized my race bib, I selected my shirt size, I paid extra for the shuttle. I saved the confirmation email in the special folder labeled "race info". Now all that's left to do is pick the perfect race outfit. Oh, and train, I should probably kick the

Well, here I sit, with one of my favorite work perks. GameReady, I am mid 20 minute ice and compression session on my knee. Why on my knee you ask, well, let me tell you. Remember back in in january I told you about how I did a half marathon and made my knee mad and then I fell on the ice and made my knee madder and how I was taking Januray off from most workouts and was back in PT working on making my knee happy? Well we got it mostly happy again, and I started doing my walks again and it was beautiful. My pace was so much better than it was all of last year, and the knee felt better while working out, and the shin splints seemed to be gone. And then, one fateful st patrick’s day, I was doing the laundry, and I twisted, and there was a loud pop, and all the pain and then some came back. So back to PT I went. And my PT said the words I was expecting him to say back in december that he hadn’t “Maybe it is time to think about seeing ortho and getting an MRI”. So I did, well I saw the
