Weight-wise, I'm holding steady! Perfect! Yay!
Autumn is definitely here, with the chilly fall air and the smell of damp leaves. I think I might move my running inside to the basement treadmill today because it's raining today and a little chillier than I'd like.
With the holidays quickly approaching, I've decided to register for a "Turkey Trot" on Thanksgiving Day. It's only a 5K, but it's a rather large race, with about 1,200 runners so it sounds like it will be a good way to celebrate Thanksgiving, since I really don't participate in bellying up to the gluttonous trough anymore, so to speak. The holiday season now seem to bring up a whole series of emotions for me, because I just don't wish to participate in them the way I used to, meaning indiscriminately eat myself into a food coma! The Sig-O insists on going to their family's house for Thanksgiving after the race, so I'll gladly go and sit there and eat my own meal of pebbles, twigs, and bark (or at least that's what everyone else thinks I eat!) while I watch an old man (The Sig-O's father) who has just had his third open heart surgery shovel down enough processed garbage, factory-farmed turkey & gravy to fill my plate three times over. It's hard for me to sit silently and watch it happen, but it's what I must do, I'm afraid. People only change if they want to change, and that man, unfortunately, has openly declared on several occasions, that he'd "rather die than eat healthy foods". That breaks my heart. I also used to think that a life void of "sinful" foods was a life not worth living, but actually, I think it's the opposite now. I wasn't "living" when I was eating that crap. I was barely surviving, badly and painfully, I might add. I was fooled by the $5 billion spent annually on fast food advertising (not to mention the many billions of dollars spent by processed food manufacturers) to think a life without these foods was somehow less satisfying, when it's actually quite the contrary! Now, I'm THRIVING and loving the life and body I have more than ANY plate of food! I only wish that old man could see it that way. *sigh*
Oh well... Enough of this maudlin crap. Mama's got some mileage to run this afternoon! Hope you're all having a great day. Be kind to yourself. You deserve it!
