Let me summarize my life since my last update
1. Yes, I did complete the Rock & Roll Seattle 1/2 Marathon. It sucked. I had a leg injury and it was hell for most of the race, but I did it. I got my metal and I got outta there. The End.
2. Yes, I did the WD 10k. It was foolish of me to plan my hubby's surprise 40th birthday party the night before I ran a race, but I had no choice. It worked out fine. I mean, isn't running on a hangover FREAKIN' awesome? Nothing like feeling as though you need to hit the porta potty because you drank TOOO MUCH beer the night before. Thankfully, I had a great running partner and we just did an easy pace.
3. I'M STILL ON GOAL FOR MY 7 IN 7 RACE CHALLENGE. YAY.
Now... let's get back to why I'm really here. To confess. If I was an alcoholic I'd have to stand up and admit that I drank a box of beer every damn day this summer and washed it down with a 1/2 gallon of whiskey. NO I DIDN'T REALLY DO THAT... don't even start calling my mother to plan an intervention. Just cool it. What I'm trying to say is that I have a serious sugar addiction that I can't quit. I have stalled my weight loss because of it. I find myself smashing Red Vines in my mouth like it's my last chance to eat EVER. I cannot help it. It's FREAKING GROSS. I'm 36 years old, you'd think I could be a grown-up about it. GET SOME SELF CONTROL, loser face. (Positive self-reinforcement is always a good thing, HA). So, folks... I have ate all kinds of trash. I'm a garbage gut and I have the flab to prove it. DAMMMMMIT Mandy. I am currently hanging out 155 pounds.. wanting to be at 145 and pissed that I can't get it under control.
That being said, I'm done. I'm BACK to counting my calories and being HONEST with myself about my eats. It's really a learning curve, I tell ya. Nothing comes easy
OH... BIG NEWS.. before I forget .... I was asked to run in the Spokane to Sandpoint Relay race. Apparently another runner couldn't do it. I think she had an injury. This is super huge for me because, well... I'm not a cool athletic runner like these fabulous ladies and I felt super excited to be invited. I have some pretty easy runs compared to those other ROCK STARS but I'm gonna give it my all. It's so emotional for me. To see myself in a different light is hard. But I'm pretty stoked and I can't wait to see what this is all about. I'm grateful to Lisa who told me about it.. and to the other ladies who are gonna put up with me. Holy shit, I hope I don't do anything stupid. OH and another fun tid-bit... One of my runs will be a "glowing contest" so I have ordered a boat load of glowing junk. I hope I can be seen. :)
This weekend is a big weekend for my family. My baby brother is getting married. We are so excited!! I will post pics of me and my super sexy husband in his Tux. Wade and I are both in the wedding. FANCY FANCY.
Soooo ... before I close, remember... It's okay to screw up but it's NOT OKAY TO GIVE UP. Right? Help me remember that too.
Love you all
