She got a PR (personal record) today of 29:10. The run was sold out before she could sign me up, so I didn't get to do it. But I did run 3 miles night before last, and I did it in 34:30, so...I have some catching up to do! So proud of her.
But back to Thanksgiving. So I can't think of a bigger weight loss trap than today. Not only is there food everywhere, eating until you can barely breathe is wholeheartedly encouraged. I literally just started seeing some gains, since last Saturday I had (and I mean had) lost 5 pounds. However, Thanksgiving #1 last night at Shea's aunt's house resulted in waking up 3 pounds heavier. I think that will be a whole seperate blog post all together, all the things that effect weight and the pros/cons of weighing in daily.
So...today is one of those days I was talking about the other day. "It's Thanksgiving, the gym is closed, it is cold outside, I can just take today off and run tomorrow." Then I will proceed to eat EVERYTHING in sight for the rest of the day, and probably end the week at or higher than I started.
Not this time. As soon as I finish this post, I am taking myself outside and I am going to get in those 3 miles. I will not eat until I get a food coma today. Am I a little jealous of those who will...absolutely. But I am on a bigger mission right now, and so I am willing to do what it takes.
I would be remiss on a day like today to not say that I am incredibly blessed with wonderful family and friends, a great job, a home to live in and healthy and happy children. God has been very good to me.
