a simple run

Well - I did it today I went out to go for my normal lunch time and actually ran one half mile. It hurt, it burned, I wanted to quit, but I didn't I stuck it out, once I can start doing that with no problem I can add some distance. My goal is to be able to run a half marathon. I am hoping to be able to do that by 2011. So wish me luck. Still losing weight very slowly - but it's coming off that's all that matters...

Today at work was a horrible day - we dealt with the shooting in Binghamton. As stressful as it was I didn't turn to food - not during and not afterwards. I relied on physical activity. I didn't skip my meals and I ate appropriately and healthy with the exception of one cookie and I only had half of it. At night before bed the scale hadn't gone up. That's always a plus at the end of the day. All and all it went well and as emotional and stressful as the day was - I didn't allow myself the food to comfort me.

Today I went for another fill. Bob was leery at first but after talking to him a bit he agreed that I too needed one. So we put a small one in at .3 quick and easy. Minus four pounds on the scale that's always a plus. He kindly reminded me that it was full liquids again for today and blenderized foods for tomorrow. So when I left the office we decided to go to lunch. I wanted a bowl of soup so off to Applebee's - I got a bowl of their oh so good Tomato Basil soup and a glass of water. Ate it no complications, I even ordered a bowl of soup to go and that's what I had for dinner also. After the two meals and actually feeling completely satisfied - I feel as if I found my "happy spot". Yes it is too early to tell, the fills have been wearing off after two weeks. I guess we will have to wait this one out as well, but it really does feel different! It's a good thing.!!!!!!
