Day 48

WOD: .25 mi on/off
             Gym equipment

Today is the 48th away since I decided to make some major life changes and finally take control. I'm happy to report that I am feeling great, I have been empowered to make choices, and I have enough energy to probably go non stop for about 3 days! I had a minor set back when I was sick on and off for three weeks but I just attribute that to the germs finally catching up to my body. I have been very fortunate to avoid any illness for over 5 years, I was due.

As far as my progress report, I ran more miles last month than I have in the past year. (I track miles and crossfit workouts every month.) and {drum roll........} I have lost 9.8 pounds! I wish I was confident enough to post those pictures because the transformation is amazing. Maybe once my abs are defined I'll share, haha.

I'm in California for a conference for five days. I had walked over 5 miles yesterday before I even made it to the gym. With the three hour time difference, I was running on fumes. I went into the gym and felt like a fish out of utter. Instantly, I ran to the treadmill. It's my safe place. As I started running, I talked myself into getting down on the floor and trying to use the equipment to do some sort of weight training. I'm sure I looked ridiculous. Good thing that doesn't bother me.

I miss the boys and wish they were here. I felt guilty enjoying Disneyland without them! By the end of the day, we had logged 10 miles of walking/running. I had fabulous meals and even contemplated a dessert reform I opted against it. I'm not there yet. I've worked too hard.

I'll have more time to write over the next several days. Stay tuned. A lot runs through this brain.
