Miscalculation, but Happy

I thought yesterday I only needed a 1/5 lb to get to my first 20; I actually need a 1.5 lbs. That's ok. I'm still happy that I lost 2.5lbs. I'm a few lbs behind schedule; but, with all the stress of hubs being sick these past few weeks...I think I'm doing pretty darn good. I'll get to that 20 mark in a few days. I have made some big breakthroughs on eating habits and that is just as good as 20lbs.

I'm debating on whether to take my "off" day of working out today or tomorrow. Family comes in town tomorrow and I won't want to be bothered w/ training. Ha ha ha I guess this evening after the heat cools off (ROFL) I'll ride. Good idea.

More news on the running front...last night I decided to go ahead and pound the treadmill - since today was weigh-in - and I did great. I started a 10week beginner running thing...skipped ahead to week 5, run 8min walk 2 repeat 3 times. I did it, I pushed myself through and did it. I skipped ahead since I had already been doing my own version of beginner running. The moral of this story is...I was telling this to JRo today, she is the "runner" of the 2 of us. She looked at me and said "You realize I am only 2 weeks ahead of you, I'm on week 7." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I actually might get on the same playing field as her? Not beat her, but be able to possibly hang? WOW! Go Ruthie* Go Ruthie Get Your Game On!
