So... I'm updating today because Katie threatened to protest my blog... can't have that happening!!! Even though I don't think there's much to update on... here's the news...
A few weeks (or months) ago at work we decided we'd have a "weight watchers at work" thing... only problem... the lady that came out was a total "b"... and we didn't have the 15 people that were required for her to keep coming out (we had 13)... which may have been a blessing in disguise. So one of the ladies has done Weight Watchers before and said, "Why don't we just do our own? I have all the things and I'd be glad to share all my info..." So, last Monday we had our first "meeting." Basically, we're just meeting on Monday's after work to weigh in and discuss how we're doing with our weight-loss goals and support each other... etc. We had our second meeting tonight. I was kind of nervous with the weigh-in (especially with Halloween last week... there's been soooooo much candy around!)... but... (wait for it... wait for it...) I LOST 3.6 POUNDS!!!!! I am EXTREMELY proud of myself... hopefully this trend will continue!
On the weight-loss note... I've also decided to start "running." We all know I'm not a runner (look at me!)... but... I'm going to give it a shot. I have a goal of running the Shamrock Shuffle next March downtown Chicago (I think it's an 8K). I have a ways to go, but it's better I start training now rather than a month before and then not be able to do it. So... now that you all know my goal, I guess I have to do it! Right now I'm only able to run a quarter mile and then walk a quarter to a half mile then back to running a quarter mile... etc... I run either 3/4 of a mile or mile. I know it's not much... but it's a start!
Oh yeah... on more thing... I've been to the gym the last 3 days (even got up at 445 this am to be at the gym at 5)... did a 5K each day (with the run/walk thing)... and went BACK to the gym tonight to lift! I ROCK!!!
So that's the update... wish me lots of luck with the loosing weight thing... prayers and support are also appreciated!!!

YAYAYAYAYAYAY!! See, you totally have things to BLOG about! Alright, I am SO proud of you! I have GAINED so much! UGH! What to do, what to do..oh, I know, STOP EATING CRAP! I have been having headaches lately, yep, you guessed it--SUGAR! (Dang it halloween, dang THanksgiving, and Dang Christmas--ok, this is NOT to be blasphemous! Just dang all the food!!) ;-) BTW, I'm coming home for Thanksgiving..wanna do a Trebs Reunion?
AWESOME!! You do rock!! The hardest mile is the first one--at least I think so!! I'm super slow (I average 11 to 12 minute miles), but if you want a running buddy let me know. I also want to do the Shamrock Shuffle next year (and yes it is an 8K). If you want to check it out, I have a work out blog...it's mostly for me, but the hit counter says someone out there is reading it. It's low-go.blogspot.com. If you need anything, just holler!!
Good Luck!!
