Great News.

So I found out I totally killed my cholesterol! Its well with in normal limits, in fact I don't have to come back for a follow up either. My doctor was really impressed. Also Impressed with my Blood Pressure and resting heart rate. He said he's going to tell everyone to be more like me! I still need to loose more weight but my health is no longer an issue at this time!
I told him I never took the aciphex that he prescribed to. He did give me a script and I just threw it out. I wanted to do it on my own, and I am doing it. He wants a finish picture at the great race next year, and he's getting one. The count down starts this time next year I will be preparing to run. I am preparing already....10k baby all the way. At this time I don't really have a race to plan for. I am getting set in my new job then I'll start pecking around for one.
I think I am going to make an appt to get re evalutated for life insurance I could be paying less now I think.

I know I know I'm going...

Going to the gym this morning with the kids going to do 4 boring ones on a treadmil, i haven't posted much lately due to busy. I will hoping back to normal soon.

yeah baby

With loaded sinuses, my horrible cramps, neck pain, and a stomach ache I went to the track this morning and I had an awesome time. I was due for a good run. Boogers flying everywhere, 4.5 miles of a very stress relieving trot. Thank god for my outlet! I know I don't get a lot of time to go to church, I consider that time with my thoughts, and time with god. Today it was that, every step counted.
I smile and look up with appreciation.

Trying to keep focus

I am actually starting to miss my runs. I went monday, and then did body combat today, its not like I am not giving effort but I think its time to add more. Maybe its time for another mile.
I am so stressed right now with the job change, and preschool starting, and other minute details in my life topsy turvy. I am making it my mission this month to exercise or run every other day no matter what because I feel myself slipping into the i'm busy excuse. Nope not going to happen. I will be there, tired and dragging but it will get done.
Running down the track with all that golden rod suprizes me, wow thats a lot of mucus I make when I am so dehydrated and sweating where the hell does it come from? Monday I blew a snot rocket ever 1/4 mile. The oldies walking the track were grossed out but I have asthma when I am like that I gotta clear my airway.... so sorry about your luck if you get caught i the cross fire, but I love it and I can't stay indoors just for allergies, its just isn't fair to this ball of nerves.
Running : its such a nasty dirty dingy sport but its really my sanity. The track doesn't care if you blow your nose, it doesn't care if you are stanking sweating, it doesn't care what you got on, and it doesn't care if it hurts you. You just carve your track for the day, take it wth you to prove it doesn't break you. thats it, when its good its great when its bad its still pretty good.

Ouch

So I am currently going to start a new job, I was out in my interview outfit. I was feeling at least like I looked professional maybe even a little pretty and some old piece of crap asked me if I know the sex of the baby I am having. Well of course this is soooo insulting it happens probably once a week working with the elderly and wearing baggy scrubs. But that one would have ment she though I was over 20weeks pregnant. My body shape naturally has always had a bit of a pooch. Now after 2 pregnancies and being so large I am left with a deflated circus tent. The rest of me is looking pretty fit, or getting there and well that thing is alien looking. I have always felt like that surgery was too life endangering to ever consider, but yesterday I would have laid on the table under the knife. I am working hard and nothing in that region ever changes and its all lopsided too, I wonder if I have muscle separation. My plan with spouse on board is to loose the rest of my weight, get to my goal then consult a surgeon to just talk about it.
I could probably run a mile with that bitch tied to my back, she has no idea who she is talking to!

In honor of the busibody song suggestion: See ya later by the queers (if you look that up don't play it around kids).
