I have been so consumed with how I havent been feeling good, and frustrated with the lack of answers. I think I hit a low and I hope I never feel that way again. Although I still dont have any answers I am learning to move on. I cannot and will not spend all of my time wrapped up in how I dont feel well and be consumed with worry. I have had several tests and its time to move on. Its time to focus on the positive!
I have been running here and there and it feels great. I went for a run when visiting my parents last weekend, despite the flurries that were falling! I didnt use my new running watch so I dont know the distance but it was an amazing feeling to get out there and accomplish a run. It was cold when I started but by the end I was fine. It was about a half hour so must have been about 2 and a half miles or so I am thinking. Not bad. And the park near my parents house is great for running which made it even better. There are special color coded paths and just a nice environment to be in. I dont have a place like that near our house that I am aware of. Its nice to think that when I go home to my parents house that I actually look forward to going out and having a great run. And going home to see "my people" is such a warm feeling. I find that I am getting homesick lately, even though its only two hours away. I am thinking its probaby from being couped up in this cold and snowy winter! We are supposed to get more snow today and some chilly weather for the next week but I hoping that will be it for the winter weather. One can hope right?
Today's reason for losing weight:
*Today I watched Margene's video on her blog. It is truly inspiring and really touched me. I had goosebumps and tears throughout the whole thing. If you havent already maybe stop by her blog and watch it. Its quite moving.
Today I am thankful for:
*My family. There are times when life gets hard and there are certain people you turn to. For me, its my family and God.

Glad you are staying positive. We travel quite a bit on the weekends during the summer watching Minor league baseball, and I have special parks and gyms I like to visit in the different cities :)
Yay for running again. I would so want to be your running partner if I lived close... maybe you could kick my butt in gear!! ;)
It is hard to move on from all that you've been facing with your health and needing answers. I admire your courage and wisdom. My prayers are still with ya girl!
Thanks for your kind words and encouragement with my journey. I appreciate every word you've said to me... you are an inspiration yourself!!
God bless!
