Thank you
Pamela.
The puppies name is Jessie. She is pretty awesome, too smart actually. She has had some health issues so she can't go to doggie daycare and no matter what we do she manages to get her crate open. So I have been coming home from work to some surprises.
Be sure to lock up your shoes! Jessie is a GREAT name! Hopefully puppy classes will help.
Congrats on your run! It is a great feeling of accomplishment.
It definitely FELT like an accomplishment, after being away from any distance for a long time. It was only 2 miles, but my time was acceptable.
We did not get the bad storms this time, thank goodness! My sister is in NC and she said it was quite crazy there yesterday.
Prayers that she stays safe!
Ok, I am still very proud of the fact that I have not had a diet soda since Jan 2010. But I am having trouble coming up with something positive for this year.
On the negative side, I have started drinking regular coke way too regularly.
So by my estimates if I consumed 36 ounces a week over the last year, that is 21840 calories or 6.24 pounds! And I might be conservative with my consumption. I have that nasty sugar craving and I can tell my body is just so unhappy with me. It is just so stinking addictive!!
But I gave up DC cold turkey, so that is what I am doing with regular coke. Had my last one on Monday. This is going to be painful, I think.
The sugar withdrawal AND the caffeine withdrawal will be tough.... but you are stronger than that soda pop! Be sure to have some headache remedies at hand and perhaps even enjoy an adult beverage in the evening as a reward to skipping the cola.
Thank you Michelle!
I like your mantra.
This quote was posted on the exercise thread and I really liked it. I compare myself way too much--I compare to how I used to be, how I'd like to be and to others--and it is not productive.
Comparison is the Thief of Joy
LOVE that quote.... SO TRUE! I was ready to lament about how my "measly" 2 mile run was nothing compared to the 5-6 good miles I was doing a few summers ago.... but I stopped myself and remembered to be happy with the NOW!
Hmmm, I did not wait until May to get back on the wagon.
YEAHHHHH!!

Hope everyone has a great last day of April! I am off today, though I have to go to a work lunch. Not eating (don't feel like dealing with the gf thing) so I will have a tea. Meal planning is on my agenda for the day and laundry. We have puppy training class tonight.
