Right...

Right, the stress fracture. I have been working around it when I get time to exercise. I have been alternating using treadmill (it's butt-cold already) and a stationary bike. I have been slowly working my speed and distance up on the treadmill.

The other weekend I ran my fastest mile ever! 7:50! Ok, granted my fastest was 8 minutes, but that was in 1997. 14 years ago and I was 19 at the time. And had just been to nationals. And 15 pounds or so lighter.

So that was good. Meanwhile, I need to lose 10.5 more pounds to hit my first BIG goal. I think I can do it. I just need to keep the house stocked with veggies and fruit. And since I live in South Dakota, that proves more difficult that you could possibly know.

Yup

Been a while. Let me sum up....

Nope. Same old, same old. I had a few weeks of backtracking but I never when above the limit (270) and in fact I am down almost to 260 again.

We have finally become vegetarian. Something I have been wanting to do for years. However, a vegetarian in South Dakota can starve very easily. They put meat in EVERYTHING.

Also, I have quit pop. Yeah, I know, right? Of course like an ass I did them both at the same time. That was a rough week or so. Constant headaches and hungry all the time. But it is all good.

Now, I have maybe 1 pop a week and I feel better in general. I might eat meat if no other option avails itself (I am not gonig to be rude to a host).

Now I just need to prepare for the open house in 3 days...
