more randomness

I feel like I never write here anymore. I guess I just have some times when I am on a roll and others when I am just not.

I am in a better mood than I was last week, but that nasty mood lasted DAYS! It was pretty bad. I think I was starting to get sick and was just run down overall. Still haven't slept wonderfully, but I'm a bit more positive at least and not so cranky.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Looking forward to seeing everyone at dinner and REALLY looking forward to all the pies. YUMMY! I think there are 8 or 9 of us at dinner and we will have 7 or 8 pies too! But that's how we generally are, a pie a person! :) Crazy, but fun.

I have a 5K walk at 7:30am too.. guess I can reach for that 2nd piece of pie after walking the 3+ miles. Should be a good morning. It is through the fitness group and I have 11 or 12 people signed up for the walk.

The fitness group is doing amazingly well. I love that I have a bigger group of people on the team and membership keeps growing. Just having it is a great way to keep me on track so I can find new things to post and new activities to participate in. I can't wait until my body is better and I can do more.

My back has been killing me this week. I don't know if it is because I have been so run down, because of the crappy, rainy, raw weather we have been having, or just because I have a disc issue, but it just HURTS. I have an appointment for another cortisone shot on Tuesday. I'm nervous about it again. I know Wednesday is going to be really tough too, was last time. I just want all of this to go away. I'm too young to have back issues this bad. I want to be healthy!

We had our weekly weigh in today. I gained .6 for the second week in a row. Oh well. I'm still down 5.8 but I should be over 9 pounds by now! This isn't good. I need to bust it this weekend! I do so much better when I really focus and exercise. I know what I have to do so I don't know what my problem is with actually doing it! I just have to commit to myself for it! I need to do it. I would LOVE to weigh under 140 pounds.... to see 139.8 would be AMAZING! That is my goal for New Years. Hmm... this morning at home, naked after I went to the bathroom I was 145.6. Can I lose 6 pounds in 36 days? I can still be under 140 for New Years day of 2010? How cool would that be?

New Years day of 2009 I weighted 159.2. I would LOVE to lose 20 pounds this year! That would be the coolest thing ever! I'm pretty sure I can do it, but with tomorrow and then all the xmas stuff, I am really going to have to focus on what I am eatting and make sure I really put the effort into exercising! And that would keep my motivation up for 2010. If I could lose 20 pounds in one year, then I could easily lose another 15 for 2011! Ok, starting to get motivated with this. At least I was good tonight. An apple with peanut better was all I have eatten since I got home.

It is November 25th and I still haven't done anything outside of my comfort zone this month, forget about 2 things. And I got NOTHING. No ideas, no NOTHING. I'm nervous about this for the first time this year. I really have no idea of what 2 things I can do in the next week, well, next 4 days basically cuz tomorrow is shot with it being Thanksgiving and all. Maybe something will come up tomorrow at the 5K. I don't know. I just don't know what I can do. I was thinking of putting it up on Facebook for ideas! :) How sad is that??? I should look through my 101 list cuz I know I put a few things there that were ideas for out of my comfort zone stuff.

Well... If anyone actually reads this, HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
