"You gotta wanna" - Mary (WW leader)
Running is picking up a little, unfortunately I am still picking up my fork too often.
I was out for a long 1 3/4 hour trail run/walk in the mud on Saturday. It felt awesome. I wasn't disappointed with all the walking that I did. It was a full 11K of forward motion up and down hills, through some real messy mud.
Tonight I was out for an 8K run. I decided to get in a run longer than my usual mid-week 5K. It felt good. I decided to incorporate the run/walk method since I want to start increasing my mileage. I would like to be ready for a half in May in London Ontario.
On the food front... I am really struggling with snack type foods. If there is a cookie or a chip in stiffing distance, my nose will lead me to it and I will have chewed it up and swallowed it before my brain knows I've found it. There are other times where I will rationalize with myself. I will see the brownie and think well it's only one and it is gone. The only problem is when I do this 10 times a day.
I know what the problem is. I know how to solve the problem. I know I want to lose the weight.
What I don't know is why I can't hop the fence to get back to the side where my control is?????
I know I should get back down to Weight Watchers, but that is a tough step as well.
The positives are...
I know where I want to go, my running is helping to get me there. If I keep at it I know the rest will follow.
Keep Fighting

It took me nearly 4 months a few months back before I jumped back on the scale.
We know what to do, doing it is the hard part. The best thing to do is clear the house of the junk then you have no way of getting it. You'll get it back down in your own timing.
Go to the meetings! You really won't regret it, and I know you agree!!!!
Love how you're enjoying your running.
I am working on it and getting better one day at a time (ew, Valerie Bertenelli reference). Thanks for the support.
