Getting to be a habit

this whole taking two weeks off from blogging! Sorry bout that! I have been uber busy though and really honestly needed to take a break from some things in my life that dont take high priority. I heard a sermon at church about hanging onto the dead in your life called holding on to your Moses. The preacher kept saying, "people, Moses is dead, D E A D! Hold on to the things that are living." I have been thinking a lot about this and therefore I am going to be weeding out many things in my life over the next few months. Some if these things unfortunatly will be people. I have a tendancy to want to mother everyone, to fix everyone and I just cant do it. There are people who will be resistant to help forever and it will do nothing but tax me physically and emotionally so I have got to put an end to it. I will pray for them but I can do no more without compromising my own personal growth and happiness.

Marathon training is going. We are walking although not as diligently as we should. We are cross fitting like crazy though. I am confident we will complete the thing in the time alloted and I am treating this one as a learing experience for the most part. I am also really just proud of myself for taking on the challenge. We have decided to do another one in late March in Virginia and John is going to take on a more active role in our training for that one. I think with his help we can really see a huge improvement in time and in motivation. He is a great motivator and trainer. Hopefully by that time we will also be able to run a large portion of the marathon as well. At least that is our goal.

Nutritionally I am doing ok. I have my days when I do very well then days when I suck and dont eat enough, eat too much, eat the wrong things, etc. I am consistant in my weight though so I suppose I shouldnt complain too much. I would just love to see a more happy medium. Last night I did eat some cookies without guilt and that was a true victory for me. Usually I will feel so horribly if I have something like that. I just told myself that I would have them, enjoy them and I wouldnt make it a habit or everyday thing but once in awhile it was all good. I guess that is making progress.

No CF for me tomorrow. I strained my groin yesterday and I am still in some pain. Bummer though because I love Saturday CF so much. For real! I cant believe I did that and am still not sure how it happened. All I know is that I was coming up from a burpeee and slid somehow which hyper extended my leg forward. It was really a clumsy thing...

I am hoping to hear from Paul again. I have been super duper lonely for him. Our commo is really sucky lately. They have hardly any phones or computers and its so depressing to go day after day without word from him.

Ok, gonna get going. I need to get moving. Its nearly 10:30 and I still need to get my dogs to the groomer. I am not even dressed:( Uhoh!
