Personal:

I started running at age 40 (14 years ago!) I am married to Harold, he is a super supportive husband and we enjoy running and biking the trails along the Wasatch Front together. Between us we have 7 children and 9 grandchildren. I am really having fun trying new races in scenic parts of Utah, I am a newbie in the ultrarunning world, I am slow, but love everything about it! I have a lot to learn,but I am enjoying the journey.

3 little treadmill miles, 20 min. of weights and a one hour yoga class.

Todays weigh in for the contest was a big goose egg!

My focus is to have a perfect weekend, that's it, I need to do baby steps!!

After yesterday's awesome speed work; you deserve a nice 3 miler for recovery. GOOD JOB on the weights and yoga too. Glad you're staying focus for a perfect weekend. Baby steps are SURE and STEADY footings compare to one giant leap. It will lead you to SUCCESS.

Let's work together on getting back on track. I finished all my chocolate covered marshmallows today - so no more junk food.

A goose egg is better than a PLUS, right?

I broke my scale for real. I am done with it. I will have to weigh in at least monthly at WW, maybe weekly, but that is it for me. DONE. I give up.

Great mileage, 3 is nothing to laugh at! You worked your fanny off yesterday. And those 3 were on the treadmill so it is more like 9!!!

Thanks girls, starting today, I am going to try and have a perfect weekend. That will be huge for me. Yesterday I was bummed and ate 3 chocolate chip cookies and 3 handfuls of dried up Valentine Hearts that have been sitting on the kitchen counter for weeks getting hard and dried out.

From Smooth on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 15:23:30

Aloha Leslie, are you staying focus? Don't be a garbage disposal this weekend. Can't believe you swallowed those dried up Valentine hearts. C'mon girl, remember you are too precious and beautiful for junk!

From leslie on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 17:12:18

Kelli, yes I guess zero is better than a PLUS!! I am afraid if I throw away the scale I would gain 20 pounds in a month. I am totally frustrated right now. So, Kelli, have you reached your goal and just need to check in once a month?

Smooth, I need a good swift kick in the pants. I have been better today, the stupid VDay candy is now gone and I WILL have a good weekend!!!!!
