Starting up again
So it seems like if you ignore your 3FC blog for a bit it gets deleted. Boo!! I meant to write more often. Really, I did!
Anyhow here I start again. It’s actually rather ironic to be starting when I feel like so many weight-loss related things are coming to an end. My 16-week running clinic wrapped up last night. The TBL challenge just ended. My race is this weekend, and my running buddy is moving to China next week.
There’s a part of me that has worried that this entire weight-loss transormation will also come to an end. Six years ago I trained for my first half marathon, lost 20ish lbs, ran a fantastic race, and then stopped. I quit running, I gained all the weight back, and I was right back to where I was with the anger with my body.
I’ve made some post-race goals this time around to keep me on track, but there’s still this worry that I’m going to stall out. I’m just a couple of pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight so I’m at a size that I’m familiar with even if it’s 26lbs above my goal weight. DH and I have also been planning to get pregnant this fall, which doesn’t mean running has to stop but does mean that my weight loss will have to be put on hold. I’m having second thoughts now and contemplating putting those plans off for another 6 months.
Ho-hum. Not much of an uplifting post for my first one but hey what can you expect from someone who’s on taper week? 
I’ll cheer up soon, I promise!
