Confession Friday?

My how time flies when you're so busy you don't know up from down. Wait, that's not how that saying goes...

It's been almost 9 months since my last post. I feel like this could be an episode of E! True Hollywood Story's "Where are they now?" Well, I have some good news, and some bad news. The bad news first? Ok, here goes. The bad news is that I'm still addicted to sugar and all things good and plentiful. I have gained almost 20 lbs since my last post... 155.1 as of now. I think in total I have probably lost about 300 lbs... gain 5 lose 6, gain 3 lose 2, etc. etc. etc. Once you introduce sugar in, you crave it, and want just as much (if not more) the next day. Just say no! Winter really stinks you know? I have especially missed the fresh air runs. (I did try one recently on a warmer day, but was almost hit by a car... sticking to the gym thank you very much.)

That's enough bad news. The good news? I have completed two triathlons :) The first was a great one for beginners called "Give Peace a Tri" It was in Surry, NH and it took me just over an hour to do. Felt like I just did one of my regular workouts :) (aside from running a 5k in my bike shoes... oy vey). The second one was for the YMCA at Clough State Park in Goffstown, NH. That one was about twice the distance of the first one, and took me just about twice as long :) BUT! I finished it. I have also purchased my personal training materials to get certified. It's been a little tougher than I thought. I had started studying in December, but haven't progressed as quickly. I will be starting the reading plan over and doing a little each day. Everything in moderation :)

More good news? I have met someone :) (It's amazing what happens when you get your life in order) When you love yourself, you find the capacity to be able to care about someone else. It's a great feeling. The other good thing about it is that we challenge each other to stay fit.... well as much as we can from 2,700+ miles away. I would encourage you to have someone to be accountable to. It definitely helps!

Well, I'm not sure what kind of blog this is going to turn into... but it feels good to write again. So, until next time.

Peace out.
