He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Met Renae at the River bed and ran 6 miles into Newport Beach. She is great!!!!

I need some moral support so I am going to do something that I think is pretty brave and stupid. I am going to start posting my weight on my blog. I have been eating so bad since the move and I need to get myself back on track. I want to get back down to 125-127 so I need you all to keep an eye on me.

I am also going to post my food for the day on the following day. So don't let me give up. Okay?!

I need everyone's help to keep me honest!!!

 I am a little embarrased to post my weight because I have gained a few lbs. since SGM 08'.

131.6 lbs.  AM

Weight: 0.00

Let me start by saying, how much I love reading your blog. I think I am living my running days vicariously through you!! When I am out running I envision the beach, the ocean, bikers, runners, pretending to be you!! Not really, but sometimes its really fun to think about. 2nd, I admire you for posting your weight and let me say that it makes me feel a lot better because I am not a girl, nor will I ever be a girl who will weigh 110 pounds. I have gained weight too and I have no excuse for it!! And, I am starting to feel it in my clothes, in my stomach, etc. It's very hard to deal with. I would love to get down to 120-125, but it seems like those last 5 pounds can be the hardest. I will keep checking in with you and you check in with me, deal?? I may muster the courage to post my weight on here soon, but I know if I have someone to report to, it will motivate me. Thanks for letting me infringe on your ideas here!! Let's keep in touch!! Signing off from Utah :)

Kellies,

I will for sure check in on you. It is so hard some times. I have for sure been having a hard time keeping it under control lately. I keep thinking all day that I have to post my weight tomorrow morning so I have been very good today. I hope this is what I need to help me get back to where I was.

I will check in on you tomorrow. Have a great day!!!

Britta - I think we are all struggling with the weight gain issue. For most of us - it will soon be summer and I think the warmer weather will help. You are probably dealing with stress from the move too - and that is an added factor.

Hang in there.

Okay girl, I am going to check on you! We will watch you slowly disapear before our very eyes!!! Hey, really, if I weighed what you weighed, I would shout it from the roof tops! But I realize we all have our own personal goals and I am supporting you 100%!! Good luck, you will get alot of encouragement from all of us!!!!!

You are so cute!!! AND I love that we weigh about the same. Except I'm shorter so you should feel great! I hope things are going well for you. I'm so happy you are finding some running buddies.
