I've been doing Couch to 5K and have recently discovered that I have no energy to do this . I'm going to try adding back in carbs - aiming for ~50 net. If that doesn't help a whole lot, I'll cut them back out - it feels positively decadent trying to get them up to that, but man oh man, the raw carrots are soooo worth it. I've always been a lover of raw carrots, too bad they didn't help my eyes {sigh}.

Anyhoo, that's it for today. I'll try and keep this updated as to how the higher carb levels do for my energy...

Thanks for reading!

Hmmm, well, it's certainly been a while...10 weeks to be exact. I'm still not smoking (yay me!). I did wind up regaining 6 pounds, but I've dumped them and am starting back down the scales again. I started Couch to 5K in mid-July, I'm up to week 6 this week. I think that's probably had a lot to do with getting my metabolism back from the old smoking days. I'm going to try to be a bit more accountable here, so I need to get back to the boards (lurking mostly, but that still helps me with motivation, etc.).

I'm really really...

Well, I've certainly been missing in action! My boss returned from his deployment and things have been hopping at work. I'm not complaining at all. Especially since I DID get everything caught up and it looks like I was on top of things the whole time-ROFLMAO. Still doing well in the not smoking department and still doing well in the not munching myself to death department! Whew. I've been making it to the gym at least 4 days a week, so I think that helps a lot. Haven't lost, but I haven't gained either. As long as I can maintain where I am I can handle it. I really want to lose the last...

Wow, what a bear of a day I had at work yesterday. A big ole' mean grizzly bear of a day. I haven't had one quite like that in a long time. Glad it's over. On the bright side, I did find out that Fearless Leader is now on the same continent as I am and should be back in town this weekend. Maybe not back to work right away, but more accessible than when he was deployed!

I get to go have a bone density test this morning. I don't mind having it done, but crikey, it's going to cost me $200 out of pocket. Have to wonder what it costs without insurance. I have never broken a bone...

I didn't realize I could "subscribe" to blogs, duh, kept wondering why I had to go back and hunt down comments, etc. Didn't mean to miss anybody, sorry if I did. Hopefully I've got the subscriptions set now to where if you pop in and say "howdy" (or whatever-LOL) I'll know it pretty much immediately and be able to reply.

I'm making great inroads on my filing...still a ways to go yet, though.

Okie dokie, let's see if this works...on your mark, get set, goooooooooooooooooooooooo
