October end of month

Well Guys or should I say Ghouls! Happy Halloween to ya! It is a warm Halloween morning here in the Carolinas and feels more like an early summer day. Supposed to get up to 82 degrees today.
things here have been hit or miss in many areas but over the last week I feel like I have come to a new understanding of many things and am back on track. Mainly with my diet. I weighed myself a little over a week ago and was up nearly 10 pounds from the spring. Talk about depressed. I worked really hard to lose the weight and I dont want to see it creep back up so I once again began journaling and eating as clean as possible. This meant also no eating out which was difficult for me in that it forces me to cook if I dont want to put processed junk in my gullet. Anyhow I did it and upon waking this morning and weighing myself I am down 4 pounds from that awful high. I am more determined than ever to lose the rest of it and even a few more as that was my original goal. Once I get there if I find it too unobtainable to maintain I will change it. All this means that I have to do more cardio because while CF is great and I love it it doesnt last long enough for me to enjoy the fat loss benefits of cardio. Dont get me wrong, cardiovascularly I am in great shape from CF but I do think I need more than I am getting from my sessions. I am aiming for at least 2 extra hours of cardio each week on top of CF which should not be a problem since I am going to start going back to spin class at least once a week.
I am also letting go of how much I do. I find myself exhausted at the end of the day and I dont even work but I am always super busy. So, I am relinquishing command of some things and praying that they are still done and done well. If not, I am just going to have to give it to God because I cant take on anymore.
Today is the day we leave for the half mary. Our shirts may not be in but thats ok. It would have been cool to have them but lets face it,shirts dont make one run or walk faster. We just wanted to match since we are such girlie girls. I am hoping to have an injury free day and to complete the thing in under the time limit. I have been going pretty fast in my walking and I can run some so we shall see what happens. When this is over I am looking for a 10 kilometer that I can train for so that I can see if in a few months I could possibly run the entire thing.
Well, its time to get some last minute things done before heading out. I will update when I get home.
