Quote From: latemornSherri, Karen, Dolores, Shirley, and Char. It is great to hear from any or all of you.
So Sherri, are you running? You are definitely small enough to be a runner now. I'm at 122 and have been at 118 last summer with my running. I haven't been practicing quite as much as last year.
Karen, you are right that that pic of Sherri is very motivating, as she looks just perfect.
Dolores, we will miss you but have a blast with your sister. Get in some IE walking, shopping, etc when you are together.
Shirley, you have been doing good, and will move towards your goal with your healthy eating. Even though my weight is down, I still have bad days with my eating. It is the IE that keeps my weight down more. I do feel much better though when I eat right, and I want to make that a permanent habit, eating for health.
Ok, this has been one crazy, busy weekend. I had a race on Saturday afternoon and I came 5th again. I felt good after the race. I got home and showered and then we sat on the deck and ate supper. OK, here comes the drum roll........................................................TA DA!! The real estate agent called while we were eating and wanted to come out and show us an offer. So after supper she came. We turned it down though, but came down with our asking price.
So then I had another race this morning, and had to call her right after my race. Good news, he upped his offer and she would come out at 1 pm, so I had time to get in a swim and look at my results. I came in 5th again in this race. That's 3 times I'm 5th now. I have to break that streak. Actually my chain fell off in the bike portion and I had a hard time getting it back on. Also, my legs were very tired from yesterdays race and I had to walk about 4 times after 7km, with only 3 km left in the race. Then I walked up the big hill at 9.5km and 2 ladies passed me. I passed one back and came in abit behind the other one. She ended up being 4th in our age category, so I could have been there, but I wasn't .
So getting back to the offer, it was higher and we accepted it. He has till Friday to do a home inspection and line up his mortgage, then it will be a firm offer. So it looks like we finally SOLD our house.
WEll hubby has left and our son is here for a couple of days holidays. Must go make our dinner.
Yes, I have been running, walking, biking and lifting weights. I do this at least 4 times a week to maintain what I worked hard to get to.
I had joined the gym for the winter and was going about 5 days a week, but it was always so busy and that was frustrating, so I quit in april and at first I was so worried that I wouldn't keep it up, but I have and I have really enjoyed the change of getting back outside. I do the weights and abs in the basement and everything else outdoors.
So happy you sold your house!
Can't wait to hear about the race.
Sherri
