Journey Beyond Survival

Did I tell you it's a crazy week? Chickadee started preschool I am writing during Chickadee's school We're working on a mortgage Hubbend is going to Deutschland I am going to Utah I am pulling my kids out of school so we can go We're going to Big City 3 1/2 hours away TODAY Chickadee is getting a g-tube and this is her consult. I'm just going to do my best and know that I'm good enough right now . After all, I've got plenty of friends to support me . Friends that make me laugh , and let me know it's okay to cry. (that really is a compliment) I hope you all are doing great, and bear with me during this crazy week. I am determined though to get back in the groove and lose weight. Even if I don't have a working scale (yet). I am drawing strength from you, and lending you my own support even if I'm not able to get you a typed out one. We can do this.

How much do I weigh? Did I lose any weight? Just how much have I lost? I've decided that I'm going to give myself the benefit of the doubt and say I did get to 210.6. I'm obviously hovering around there with the stress of the hospital trip, TOM, and the anniversary. Stress=distracted. That is bad for the scale. Oh well. I'm actually celebrating. Why? I have TWO NonScale Victories. ONE: I went from 13 miles last week to 19.86 miles this week. Woo-Hoo. One of my GOALS was to run 20 miles a week. Another was to run 5 times a week. Well, next week, I'm gonna get tha...
