Just a quick post to say that I have hit a new 10's digit! I weighed in at 158.5 this morning. WooHoo! I know it will be up tonight with clothes and all, but I am very excited to be out of the 160's. I also feel great that I am eating healthy and drinking and drinking and drinking. Okay now I am going to confess something that keep haunting me. For some crazy reason, I keep thinking about joining Eryn and my wonderful friend Colleen in a sprint triathlon in June. The week before Eryn's wedding. Okay...I know all of the obstacles. I could make a very long list, beginning with the fact that I am not currently running, biking, OR, swimming. A sprint triathlon is a .5 mile swim, 13 mile bike, and 3.1 mile run. It just won't go away though, it's stuck in my brain. I have not totally decided yet, and I'm reading a book about it so that I have a realisic view of it. Can I possibly take this on and help plan Eryn's wedding? But there it is. My deep dark secret. I have to decide soon because registration is probably filling up. What an unbelievable challenge it would be, but I think that is what intrigues me. The desire to take on a challenge and conquer it. And Lord knows I would have to depend on him to get there. Maybe that's why it is on my heart. Hmmm. I wouldn't care about where I finished, just finishing. I also think the journey getting to that point would be awesome. I say that now, but what about when I have to fit in workouts around our crazy softball season? Anyway, I have a call in to the swim coach at Ben Davis to inquire about private lessons. It's been awhile since I swam competitively. Okay, it was 6th grade, but who's keeping track. Guess this wasn't a quick post afterall.
Have a wonderful day. God Bless!

Woo Hoo! I'm proud of you! Now, running 31 miles....I know my eyesight isn't what it used to be, but I swear that's what I read. Holy mackanoly, that's alot of running; I walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes and I'm more than ready to get off of that thing. You will truly be my idol if you decide to go for this one. Wait a minute, you already are my idol!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteGreat news on the weight Kathy. You and Jane are my inspiration. Do I get to borrow all of your clothes when I get into the 160's???
Triathalon and Eryn's wedding. Hmmmmm I think you can fit in the workouts because you will need to. Fun bonding time with Eryn and a great WE DID IT finish before the wedding. Don't worry about private lessons. Call the swim coach and ask him to swim with the club until the event. Cheaper and tell him that one of the other parents at Power Aquatics (EAST) told you that "George" would do the right thing : ) He has a beginner group you could just join in and no one would notice.
GO FOT IT!!!!!!!
I wonder if we will all feel like the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz I"M MELTING AAAHHHH I'M MELTING
I hope so soon!
Love, Dawna
