So we keep having one health crisis right after the other. I have to figure out how to eat right even when things get so hard. I didn't worry once about weight as I sat by Talen's hospital bed (who could?), but I have gained 2.5 lbs. I am now 156. The good news is Talen is gaining his health back, slowly but surely. We have family staying with us for Talen's baptism on the 5th - 7th, yay! (but I can't exactly serve them my usual spinach and mushrooms and then excuse myself to run my guts out for an hour). Then we have another hospital stay coming up for the tonsilectomy on the 10th - 12th. So, my lofty goals are settling down into reality. They are:
---make time for my cardio by a MAJOR lifestyle change: get to bed by 10:30pm and get up at 5:30AM to run. Looking at my life right now, I think this is the only way.
---still track every calorie. For me, weight loss is impossible if I don't track.
---replace 2 meals with protein shakes so: Breakfast, shake, Lunch, shake, Dinner = 1400 cals
---lose 20 lbs by April 4th. I'll then set a new goal and strategy to loose the last 8 lbs and lower my body fat.
Running does burn the most calories. Has anybody considered running a 5K race?

I ran a 5k after having Isaac. It was a lot of fun because some of my friends started a running group. So we were able to talk to make the time pass. It's too dern cold to run outside here and that is the only way for me to run, not a treadmill fan. I have always wanted to do a sprint triathlon... I'm excited for you! I think around March I'll look into finding one around here.
