Hey xorie! Awesome job on pushing through the run! It's always motivational to read entries like that
I'll keep you in mind when I run my first day couch to 5k today lol
Thanks.

I'm trying to gear up to doing a 5k, then up to a 10k. My uncle does triathalons, so its in the blood. lol. I just have to get there.
OMG Jacqui I'm sooooo proud of ya. Well done, you must be delighted with your weight loss. How much is that now altogether, a fair whack. You must be feeling absolutely fantastic. AND you didn't eat anything at the Fair ..... please how did you do that. I was a complete & utter pig yesterday. It started off great, but flippin hell .... I got up and went for my usual walk yesterday morning, then came home and had fruit for breakfast .... then went out for 2 hour cycle with the hubby and came back and had small breakfast BUT THEN ..... OMG yesterday evening we had INDIAN and not only that, but i had the flipping chicken korma. I mean really Jacqui, how the hell am I gonna be down that 10lbs by Friday week if I keep this messin up. I'm glad i looked at your diary, cos now I'm gonna really get down to it. Now I mean I was good today to make up for it, but I'm just so annoyed with myself. Anways .... thats off the subject, how did your dressage saddle work out. it would be soo cool if you could hook him up to a cart, its completely different trying to manage a cart as oppose to actually riding the horse, good fun thou I woudl say. How is your singing going? Your doing fantastic with your running Jacqui, my god, I can't get going with that at all. I tried at lunch time today, but I only got a small distance before I had to take my inhaler. I'd love to be able to do it. I'm gonna keep trying though. Anyways, hunni hope you had a great day today and keep up your good work, your doing fantastic. Tell your mom we're all routing for her too, its nice to have a little help & encouragement. See ya hunni
God having 16lbs off feels great. My knees already feel better.

I read somewhere that every pound you lose, is something like 20lbs of pressure off of you knees... wow thats a lot.
The dressage saddle. God, I make myself sit in halfseat for as long as I can, then I do it without stirrups. I can barely walk today. lol. And Fred (the mini) is doing really well with ground driving. I just have to find a cart and harness.
My singing group, Grace Notes, raised about $1000 for an ESL class through a church. The people were fantastic, and we all had a great time.
And the running, it feels good. Sometimes I get a giant stitch in my side, but if I walk a bit, it goes away.
Dont worry too much about "bad days" We'll all have some, and if we can just move past it and get back into our routines, we'll all be fine. And I know you'll be fine for your weigh in, you're doing a ton of awesome work.
Anywho, didn't get on the scale today, I'm going to try and keep myself from weighing in everyday. I still want to do it more than 1 time a week, but maybe every two or three days, just to keep my head in the game, but only enough so that I dont become obsessed with the scale. Gonna go to the fabric store soon, I'm starting to make all the blankets that I'm making people for christmas now. I just finished one today for a friend who is a breast cancer survivor, and owns horses. She gets a fleece blanket with the breast cancer ribbons on one side, and pink horses on the other.

There is a big sale going on right now, so I'm going to grab the material now so that I dont spend more on it later. Should be fun.
Was good for breakfast. Had a small bowl of honey nut cherrios with a banana and skim milk for breakfast. Was actually almost overful,so now next time I think I will just have 2/3 of a banana rather than a whole one. I'm about to go have lunch, and I'm thinking a turkey sandwich sounds yummy.
