"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I
don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my
life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts
and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing loud in the car
with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night
laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want
to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe
tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and
I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad He gave life to
someone who loves the gift." --Shauna Neiquist

Week #7: a Review

The Good: I didn't get sick this week!!! I'm still catching up on some things around the house and work that fell by the way side while I was down and out, but I'm definitely feeling more like myself. I also finished Week 4 of the c25k program this week!! BOOYAH!! In six days I will be attempting a 20 minute run. Lord have mercy! I completed 5 out of 6 possible workouts this week and I'm pleased with that. Things were crazy.


The Bad: Hungry. Like, every day...makes me cranky. Also, I gained weight. REALLY?! Now, listen...I realize that I'm hypothyroid, okay? And I realize that even with treatment, my body likes to release fat about as much as my 16 year-old cat likes a cold bath, but seriously...I'm working my butt off and it's still clinging on!! UGH.


I'm decidedly frustrated, but far from despairing...I've been in this place before. I know my body and I simply haven't found the balance that I need to be able to lose weight yet. That said, I need to get my hormone levels checked soon, just to be sure I'm not shooting myself in the foot on that score.

Note the ZERO LOSS for the month of October. Yeah, that sucks. But November, my dear friends, will be better.
