4-6-13 12 of 100

Good morning all.  As much as I look at things from the outside and they seem hopeless some days, to many things these days, I am still hanging on.  I have been beat up in ways I can't even put into words.  If there is an award somewhere down the line for hanging on I better be in the running for it.  Yeah I'm keepin my humor as much as possible.  Even if my JOB says different.

I have had setbacks that have me bothered but I keep going.  I realized that one of the meds that I am taking is causing me to retain fluids.  I don't like that feeling so I am tempted to not take it.  Don't worry I am taking it ... the reason for the set back on the scale.  

Today I am starting my 24 day challenge.  I use to be one that would try anything that came along but I don't this is one of them.  I really stayed away from it for about a year now.  I had tried plenty of quick fixes and the results lasted about as long as it took to get them.  This is something that I think I am ready for an that my body needs.  I have read and asked lots of questions about it and I feel it's going to be beneficial for me.  So lets see what happens.  I am hoping this will help with that setback I have been having. 

On a different note, I have only gotten to the gym once this week.  Usually by this time on Saturday morning I would already be in the pool.  Today I am working a local 5k crazy run.  Crazy in that it is filled with obstacles like mud slides, climbing and crawling.  If you don't get muddy you didn't do it right they say.

I did photos at it last year and wanted to be down so that I could participate in it this year.  I am just not ready for that ... yet.  I am sure I will get in plenty of exercise of a different type.  Last year I didn't get to as much of the trail as I would have liked to but I am going to venture more this year.  Not just for the photos but for me.  

Good news is that I am going to sign up for not one but two 5ks over the next 6 weeks.  I had come across one that is May 18th and was getting my self pumped up for it.  I may only walk it but I will do it an finish it.  I seen that there is one in two weeks on the 20th of this month that I am probably going to do as well.  As some of you know it's something I have talked about since I started walking to lose weight.  It's time!!  I don't see myself as ever being a runner but some days I want to run.  I can't run.  I never could run.  But maybe jog a bit here an there.  

Since today is a busy day I need to get moving.  Stand back, say a prayer an cheer me on.
