Still Moving Towards Monday

I'm kind of excited to see what next Monday's weigh in holds. Biking has been high on the priority list since receiving it back from KB. Fun, low impact on my joints and beautiful, this time of year.

Of course this leap just about broke me ankle but whew I made it. : ) Ha Ha


A friend came over last night and we rode 16 miles while training for the upcoming girlfriend ride. We averaged a little over 11 mph. I want to see that go up to 13 for the 36 mile ride. Work Work Work

Does anyone else look at mountain biking and say What? Huh? Fun???? At this point I'm not interested in this at all. Looks scary and dangerous.

Eat Well and Prosper

Peddle Faster

Tonight I was 1.2 up. Not totally surprised nor am I totally distraught. No way did I eat 3800 calories more than my body burned this week. I can feel my body retaining water and a few solids that need to move on out if you know what I mean.

I just hate having my weigh in on Monday nights. Our bodies are so fickle and for me that time of night I find myself then waiting to eat and making sure I don't just down a 16 oz. bottled water before I go in. I'm glad I know what is going on in my body but I hate seeing it printed out on those little slips and placed in my book.

We don't have WW next week becuase of the holiday. I will be in E'ville for graduations this coming weekend. We talked a lot about picnics and how unhealthy they typically are. I plan to make a "plan" and stick with it through all of the slippery choices. I'm glad I can just shop and take things with me to my moms which will help me stay on track.


Goal this week?? Tracking faithfully so I don' accidentally slip in a bunch of calories I cannot account for. Girlfriend Ride??? Have you registered?

Biking Again!!!?

Well I have my wheels back and Kathy tuned her up just right. I've noticed however that she is mourning her past user. Probably because she felt a little like the picture when I rode her last summer : )

I lost 2.6 this week. ALMOST into the 180's and boy I'm ready. Good Week, More Focused, Better Attitude.

Food of the Week:??? Kelloggs Fiber Plus Bars with Antioxidants
110 C 2.5 F 9g Fiber WOW and Boy they are awesome as I just enjoyed a dark chocolate almond.

Jesus Food: Well this week I have been reading a lot about Hannah and they also preached about her last Sunday at church. What FAITH!! I really feel this weigh less journey will require that type of bull dog faith. I'm realizing that the more I lose the less of me I really want. I want more and more of Him. Can we walk in complete submission? I'm willing to give it all I've got.

More later on the Girlfriend Ride in Columbus after Scott gets back in town and I can see our family calendar.

Hugs to you all

Could This Be "THE END"

This past two weeks has been a struggle for me. I want to give props to my peeps in blog world. I had folks calling, emailing and loving on me . Thanks girls it really really really helped.

I've been without my right foot and my laptop has been out of commission. I thought I would be fine not tracking but the snacking started and I really thought "Oh No I'm going to gain this week". Kathy Reneau reminded me it really is an obedience issue. I also realize that my body was just hungry and craving a lot of carbs. Weird.... I really felt emotionally crummy as well.

All of that to say that I'm on track and feeling like my old self again. I'm also happy to report that I'm down 2.2 from my last post. Last week I had lost 1 lb. and this week 1.2. God is good and I really feel renewed or should I say Reneaued. : )

I'm thinking the hormones are acting up for sure and possibly that hysterectomy might be closer than originally thought. I've had serious pain in the back side and my lower back is still cramping. My foot is still swollen but there are exercises I can do.

Quit Whining Dawna And MOVE MOVE MOVE At least with things that don't hurt your foot. Ha

I read a WONDERFUL book this week. Hint: Randy Alcorn China??? Any ideas?

Did I say I LOVE my friends. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
