I haven't stopped moving! I've just been crazy busy with LIFE which is always a wonderful thing and something I am very thankful for.
Since the Race for the Cure I've been going on walks... but not running.
UNTIL I realized my next challenge is this Saturday - oh my goodness - so I went running on Monday evening, which was actually pretty wonderful. Amazing really.
Fall is so beautiful in Michigan, if you have to run through trees that literally look like they are on fire, it's breathtaking and you forget the pain of running! Plus if you have a five (almost six) year old that is pumped to go with, you are set!
So Logan and I ran out the door and ran straight for about a mile... by then we had run to a park, so he had to play. I kept moving through the park slowly while he jumped up a slide and onto a couple things, then we moved on... and then he decided we should walk through the woods in case we bumped into any monsters/animals that live there. So we walked/ran through the woods.
When we had come to our street I told Logan we should really run home - he literally threw himself on the ground in protest. So I just ran away (this works... he was up and running next to me in no time!)
When we got home he was so proud of himself, I was proud of him and I had also gotten a great run in. I don't know how Saturday will go, since my training has been shotty at best. But I am glad I have my blog to come back to and remind myself that those extra poundages will not leave until I actually MOVE ON PURPOSE!
Owen's 6 month appointment is on November 9 - that will also be the big weigh in day for me. I'm not expecting much, but under 170 would be great since it's been almost a year since I've seen one sixty ANYTHING blink in front of me.
I don't know how many of you watch the Biggest Loser - I am a huge fan - and this season I have been even more reminded that losing weight and staying in shape is a huge thing to do for yourself so that you can be their for those you love.
Here's to moving for those I love - mmmmmwa.
