One Week Later

Hello Friends!

This past week has been full of ups and downs since my post last week.

Let's first talk about the low points...

Eating. This is always the hardest part for me and again, I didn't eat well this past weekend. There were times that I got so hungry and tired that I just ate whatever I wanted. Not good. I can excercise all I want but if I don't eat right, it doesnt matter. Ugh. Must. Do. Better. This. Weekend.

Working out. I didn't work out Sunday-Tuesday of this week. Must do better on this next week as well.

BUT...there were some high points...

I worked out 6 days in a row last week and was really good on food for 4 of those days.

After my last post, my friend Heidi emailed me and offered to run with me on Saturday (because she is training for the Showdown Half) and I took her up on it! We met at Celebration Park in Allen and put in 8 miles. 8 miles, people! That's huge for me right now. And while it hurt while we were doing it. And we did walk for a bit, I felt good afterwords. No soreness at all. I was on cloud nine all day on Saturday. Well, until I crashed around 10pm while having a conversation with Courtney and Greg. Oh well. It's a good thing they understand.

My friend Evie also contacted me and shared with me that she is in the same place as me mentally preparing for this Half. The 27th should be interesting. But we will survive together.

In other news, Greg and I had a fantastic weekend laying low and just hanging out together. Friday night we went to a local concert in Lewsiville and enjoyed good food and good music. Then on Saturday we just hung out and grilled for dinner. Well, to be real, he grilled and I played on pinterest. Then on Sunday was church, lunch, and a Sunday afternoon nap. My kind of weekend.

I also went over to my friend Courtney's mom's house on Sunday evening for an awesome dinner and good company.

Overall, it was a great weekend for me. I hope it was for you too.

Love Always,
Cynthia
