The Count Down is On......

Only two weeks to go until our train trip to San Antonio and I haven't had much time lately to plan.....

So far in the food department I have chocolate on my list.  Nothing else.  No good ideas to fit the criteria I layed out in my last post. 

I haven't organized any outfits to take.  I have lost 16 pounds so my favorite clothes might not be what I end up packing.  I went jogging this morning and couldn't keep the straps of my shirt on straight.  That is both good....and bad.  I don't have time to rework a wardrobe.

I DO have a friend scheduled to pick us up and drop us off at the train station in Renssselaer.  I have also arranged for Mike's mom to pick us up when we come home.  Ta Da!  One thing done.

I really have to get going on a food plan because I don't want to wreck all my hard work for the past few months with a week of junk food.  This morning I was doing an interval training that I have been working on.  First I would walk 3 min. then run 1 over a period of 30 min.  I have worked up to running 2 min. walking 1 for 30 min.  Every time my foot hit the ground this morning, I thought to myself, "I hate this."  I have never been a runner even for the first 22 years of my life at my optimal weight.  This was the fifth day that I have been doing the hardest running I have ever done in my life.  I would say to myself, "You did it yesterday; you can do it today."  Yet my mind kept switching back to, "I hate this."  Then I started thinking about how I haven't lost a pound in over 2 weeks!  I was really hating it even more.  Then I realized when I was almost done, that although my legs have been sore since I moved up to the next level, my lungs don't hurt when I run anymore! Even when I was young, my lungs and throat would burn and freeze simultaneously when I would run even an eighth of a mile!  I am panting with exertion, but no pain in the throat and lungs!  Yay Me!  Man am I getting healthy!

No matter what my sister says, I am taking humus and carrots on the train!  :)
