Travelling is hard on the training schedule

No misadventures on my trip to Albany. I got in a brisk walk for 2 miles Monday before I left and then Tues evening I wogged 3 miles around Albany College -- sure felt old seeing all those young, energetic college students! The weather was nice, though -- a little warm, but low humidity. Wednesday was spent travelling back home after a half day meeting, so no XT :(
Tonight I headed to the Ridgeland track, expecting to really be able to run the straights and get in a good 4 miles. It was such a pretty evening, but I felt horrible and only managed to walk 3 miles with very little running. Kelvin was there and I feel like I really held him backas he was a nice guy and stayed with me. Sorry, Kelvin!

Just feel blah...no energy, queasy stomach, generally yucky. Glad tomorrow is a rest day. Hoping to be raring to go on Saturday!

There was an article in People mag about some women who had lost 100 or more pounds -- they all, it seemed, took up running as their exercise! At any rate when I looked at their diet plan, I thought, oh....I really need to do better at the eating part of this makeover!

So, I'm thinking about trying Nutrisystem out for a month to see if I can kick start my weight loss again. Seem to have stopped at 20 lbs. I know I am not eating right, but just can't seem to get motivated to do that. I'm kind of a picky eater -- only like the stuff that's full of fat or sugar -- LOL! I have used Nutrisystem in the past with good, although temporary, results. Maybe the combination of Nutrisystem and all this exercise will really get me going on my 100 pound goal. Who knows one day I might be on the cover of People magaize -- LOL alot!

At least you've lost 20 lbs. I'm holding steady at 157! Perhaps it's because I think butter is a superfood??? You're doing great!!! :) You might make the "People" cover next year.

So NO MORE APOLOGIES!!!:) I have been sneezing and blowing my nose all day today. Saturday will be interesting!! I may have to stay on your heels!!

Hey Cathy,
I went ahead and did the Nutrisystem thing for the month of June like we talked about. Give me your email address so I can send you a $30 off coupon if you decide to order for yourself.

I hope you are not feeling queasy because of a stomach virus that is going around. I'm glad the weather is going to be so nice tomorrow and not so hot! Hope to see you tomorrow.
