anniipooh's Journal, 09 June 2009

I ran my half marathon this past weekend. I felt very strong and energized all throughout the race. Throughout the race I saw many people young and old, some with dissabilities. They really inspire you. Some can BARELY move, but they don't give up. That to me shows how we are so ungrateful for what god has given us. We have the ability to move and do things, utilize our bodies in a way they will never be able to, and yet we sit around and not use it to its potential. I am glad I signed up for the race, and more for have completed it and experienced the thrill of what running in a competition is all about. We are in a competition within ourselves. I am only competing against me and my time and my ability to go further and faster. An 82 year old woman completed the race in 3 hours 26 minutes, if she did it, I am sure you all can. It is just a matter of logic, use your body and commit to something and anything is possible.

When's the next one? I'm in!!! Don't you weigh in today? I'm sure you'll have a big loss!

Really funny. I have noticed a pattern. Each time I have a big run that weekend. The next Tuesday I weigh in, I have a slight increase. My weight watchers consultant says it is because my body is trying to repair damaged musscle and so it stores water. I always notice a bigger drop the following week. So we will see next Tuesday.

That makes sense. Next week should be good for you then!! Are you still weighing in on Tuesdays when your membership ends?

Our membership expires on Tuesday of next week. They are trying to see if we can have enough people to sign us up for another session. I am still planning on continuing the program and weighin in on my own. I have the wii fit. The scale there is as accurate as the weight watchers one, so I can weigh in there. I gotta keep at it, its more of a lifetime commitment to try and live a healthy fit life.
