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.
