It was hard today. I always stop taking my asthma meds thinking I don't really need them and then a day like today reminds me...I really do need them.

I ran with my partner for the first time since SGM. Her asthma was bugging her and so was her foot. We were happy to be out there though.

Great job! We joke around here, our meds give us the power to go off of our meds :) hang in there and KEEP BREATHING!!! :)

Can I borrow your weight for a while??

Glad you got out to run. Today was my second outside run since St George and it was hard. My knee is killing me for some reason. But I do not have asthma, thank goodness. Everyone seems to be struggling with that right now. SORRY! Take your meds!

I never should have started tracking my weight on here. All I can think about all day is what is the scale going to say tomorrow.

Frankly all it makes me want to do is eat more Chocolate Chips. I told my husband to buy semi-sweet instead of Milk chocolate. It is all his fault!! Now there are not enough chips to make his precious pumpkin choc. chip weight watcher cookies. I sure showed him huh!?

From britta on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 18:24:49

I think I should throw my scale away!

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 18:38:26

I hate scales as well, but I am addicted. I weigh myself like 4 times a day. It is a disease. But once again, I will trade you weights any day!

I LOVE those WW pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (1 point---if you can stick to one darn cookie!)

Now, for reality here. You are tiny. That is a tiny weight for 5' 5", so you really can throw the scale out!

We missed you this morning! I will email the workouts next week. It is such a great group. I can't wait to get to meet you!

My husband has his friends over tonight for the BYU game. There is a lot of un-healthy food sitting on my counter and this girl can not help herself to enough of it.

Thank you by the way, you are good for my ego or maybe bad. I don't know, either way don't stop calling me tiny!! How tall are you? You look petite in your blog pic.

I will let you borrow my weight if I can borrow your marathon time?

That last comment was for you Kelli if you couldn't tell.

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 21:36:23

That is a DEAL!!!

Um, I am currently eating a half of a peppermint ice cream shake (so very good). I had 2 pieces of pizza for dinner (that is a record for me, I usually have 3 or 4), earlier today I ate some banana bread and 3 cookies that my neighbor brought me (rude---but apparently it was baking day in the neighborhood because someone else brought me cinnamon rolls, but I let my kids eat them), and before that I actually ate a healthy breakfast and lunch. Maybe should run 30 miles tomorrow???

I am almost 5'7", so a little taller than you but not much. I have worked REALLY hard and i have lost 25 pounds in the last year and a half, but I still have so much belly fat (or maybe it is skin from having 5 kids, I dunno). It is depressing, but I think it would take surgery to fix, and I am not gonna do that (yet). So, I keep trying to lose weight just hoping it will come from my belly. We will see. In 5 pounds I will weigh what I weighed when I got married. I was a size 6 then, but I am nowhere near that now. How is that fair?

YOU ARE TINY! 125ish is so small!!!

From britta on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 22:29:55

Wow 25 lbs. that is awesome!!! Why does weight and body image have to be such a big deal?

Kelli, you really do look great and I think it is awesome you have 5 children. I hope to get there someday.

Asthma really does stink!! Sorry yours was bothering you this morning. I haven't skipped a dose of meds for days now for the same reason.

I was hoping that you would run with the BBKs this morning so I could meet you. Hopefully another time. Kelli and I are trying to come up with a plan that you can't refuse!! :)

From Kelli on Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 10:14:08

Thanks Britta. And, what do you mean, you hope to be to 5 kids some day? WoW!! Now I know you are crazy! Only crazy people have 5 kids, right Teena?

From Teena on Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 23:32:26

Oh so right!!!! (But it's okay to be crazy if you want!!)
