Back in the saddle

A few weeks ago I hit a rough spot in the road after some soul searching Ive again waken up & got back motivated. week before last I finally beat the bike from hell I had a P.R. I road for 20 miles I did stop 3 times to rest for a few minutes but I did the distance. Last weekend I was suppose to do another duathlon but the weather here has been crazy lately I didn't want to chance a 3 hour ride for rain so I did a local 5k (The Jambalaya Festival) It was a nice race not to many people I finished in 41:10 min I was happy with that since I have not been running or walking lately. My weight is back where it was before I had my gain so I'm feeling good. Today I had to write my weight down on a form at work & I didn't hesitate or lye about my weight I was happy to write it down that is a first. All in all I feel good about myself ready to tackle the next task

Ever feel loss

This quest I'm on to lose weight & live a more healthy life style is full of UPS, downs, pain, tears, joy, new beginnings, new habit's & old ones. Life is full of choices witch paths to take.





Do I take the road less traveled?








The easy road?

Is it here?


Here ?


How about here ?

This is a very tricky process.



I feel Ive been loss the last two weeks. I have gained 7 lb's I have not been eating right & have been drained.


I have been looking in mind & heart for a sign to get me back on track



Well I found it!!

It seems to me when I get down I lose focus. I ran the Bubba Gump 5k in New Orleans 2 weeks ago my knee's & shin splints are killing me. I have been off my diet & gained weight. I have been riding my bike some to be doing something I have a duathlon in 3 weeks in Mississippi I will be doing. Im just tired of hurting. Up to 2 weeks ago I was 25 lb's away from having 100 lb's loss now Im further away! I looked in my sons eyes today & it reminded me what im doing this for I guess it was a kick in the ass for me.
