Ha -- That time of the month...I guess...

Ha ha -- just a play on words since it has been one insane month since my last post. Pathetic. Honest, but pathetic.

I just read my friend, Kim's, blog. Glad to know that my motiviation, or lack-there-of, has not gone solo. I know where part of mine is...the other part, that we must share, must be the season...cold, yucky, ready-for-spring, Indiana weather. Blargh. Now if I can only get busy like Kim is....

Weight loss goals: Ok -- first of all, I am almost starting at ground zero -- right where I was last year when I started. So, that being said, lose what was regained. Then, back to the get-that-I mean those - dimples off your bum, and where ever else they might be - weight loss goal.

Walking goals: Last year, I was able to accomplish 11 races. Last night, at the annual ARRC Awards Banquet, I was rewarded for some of those races by placing 2nd place in my age division..nice hoody sweatshirt -- then I was shocked -- I also got this lovely plaque...."Rookie Walker of the Year 2008". I was stunned! Pleased, but stunned. To top off my lovely evening, I also won a $50 gift card to the Running Company (not too shabby....like Tyler said, there's one shoe paid for -- ha ha). It made me try to refocus...try to remember how it felt when I was active..how my body liked having that feeling. I also, unfortunatley, remember the hard push feeling during a race. I just gotta get back out there. Yesterday was supposed to be my first race of the year - well, that just didn't happen to be financially possible. I want to do the road race series again for ARRC...so that will be 6 races...I will keep you posted on when and what.

Personal goals: Our center of balance is off right now. Within these four walls has been some tension, challenges and frustrations that have knocked our little world off of its pedistal. I think, pray, we are on our way back to getting things back into the right spin and timing of things. It's just been a challenging 4 weeks. Four weeks that have not been any help at all in me trying to focus on any of the above goals.

Well, that's that for now...I'm off to finish dinner and get lunches made for tomorrow...just another Manic Monday begins in T minus 6 hours.
