As A Matter of Fact.........

FACT: I will change my outfit 4 times and still wear the first thing I tried on because I feel chubby in everything else, regardless of getting into smaller clothing.

FACT: I look in the mirror and still see myself at 179 lbs.... which is 27 lbs MORE than my current weight.

FACT: I still doubt my ability to run a half marathon, regardless of my training.

FACT: I am addicted to sugar... Seriously, I'm JONES'N for some Starbursts RIGHT THIS MINUTE. But, because I'm a slave to the scale I'll settle for some Good Earth tea and stop whining.

If only I didn't read stuff like this

Don't be getting all judgemental or ready to call my hubs and plan the intervention. I know plenty of you are reading this magazine in the checkout line. I've seen YOU!  I'm not looking into anorexia, but I won't lie, when I see these crazies I think "That takes some serious self-control". Let me tell you straight up... I DO NOT find this attractive. However, I am guilty of buying this magazine and reading it. My bad.

This week I have been a little too LAX about my journaling. I don't know WHY other than I just haven't been into it. I decided to turn it around yesterday and I've managed to pull through it just fine. So far, so good. Again... I'm a slave to the scale, even though she's a rotten thing, I'll be jumping on it tomorrow morning wanting to see what I've done. I'll be sure to share with you guys tomorrow how that story ends. :) I see someone hitting the trashcan and it sure as hell isn't ME!

Tonight we went for a little run. Well, actually I ran while Wade & Hunter rode bikes. It was 3 miles and it felt great. I don't know why I was dreading it. I was sure loving the run when I was doing it. Isn't that funny? You put something off and then when you're done, you're thinking "What was the big deal?". This weekend is a LONG run... I'll be increasing to 9 or 10 miles. Whew. That seems like so much running. I love that my body is learning to endure running like that. It's so cool to think last year I couldn't do this. I just wonder what NEXT year will bring me. :)

Oh... I also scored some cute finds at Goodwill today. I love when someone else gives up their high-end jeans and I can buy them for $5.99! Got 2 pairs, in a size 10. Ummm... THANK YOU very much. They are London Jean (Victoria Secret brand). I also snagged an Aeropostale tee-shirt and & Maurices tees-shirt for $1.99 each. I love second-hand store shopping ESPECIALLY when I'm trying to lose weight. I can't see spending big money on clothes that I hope to wear for a short time. FYI ... I do not buy undergarments from second hand stores. Just in case you were wondering... that's FREAKING NASTY. Just wanted to clear that up before you sickos got carried away. :) HA...


I need some good tunes to add to my running playlist. What songs do you guys like for running or exercising? Also, please tell me someone else buys this tabloid stuff... It can't just be me. RIGHT? What's your favorite "trash" magazine?

Love
