Week 6 down, 11 to go... Say it ain't so!

Wow!  11 weeks to go, one more and it will be the final 10 week count down! -- 6 weeks in now and I feel comfortable. Hard to imagine that I would be ok cranking the treadmill up and running, just running. Looking back as I  ran my first complete mile in week 3 I spoke of not feeling present in the run, and I was not clear headed.  Now I feel present, whole and grounded and my mentality is like, "bring it!" -- Many of the tid bit pieces of inspiring motivation or factual information that Bo has fed me these past few weeks accompany me at different times -- mostly when I want to slow down or stop.

Today has been an odd day, the thought to cancel training with Bo entered my mind, I have much to do since I'm now taking a somewhat impromptu trip to San Francisco, home of the 2010, 2012 and 2014 WORLD CHAMPIONS! - However, I thought what's one hour out of my day?-- so despite the lack of sleep, because seriously who could sleep after such an awesome win by the GIANTS last night, I made no attempt to cancel training with Bo.  --As it turned out, Bo had to cancel with me. Wow. I thought, just wow! -- and I'm ok with that! No disappointment here. This opened up time for me to get the oil changed etc. Even though there was no training session with Bo, that doesnt mean im not in training. There is no excuse not to exercise!

Things I said I would NEVER do!! --   I have been adding to my bucket list of late, which got me thinking about the things I am now doing that I swore I would never do!! --There are some things, such as groaning loudly on a machine, as in loudly like having a baby loudly, you know what I mean, that I have told myself "I would never do that", and I have found myself doing just that. Just once, Tuesday with Bo. It didn't seem to bother him, he was probably pleased. I of course didn't make mention of the shock I felt when such a sound escaped my mouth-for I knew if I made a comment he would have made me repeat it! -- When I first stopped sugar  (years ago) I remember thinking I will just have it with my coffee, because I didn't think I would be able to drink it black. But I was, funny thing, I don't even drink coffee now!  Another one of the things I said I would never do was weigh food.--  I always said I would NEVER weigh my food. But now I have because this week I did and I will again!     Which for me this is clear evidence that I am changing more than I expected. Who knows perhaps one day I will enjoy cooking?   (thinking not, but ya never know). I may even plan ahead and prepare our weekly meals  at one time! (as Bo suggests as well as Angela does!) -- Yes, I think I just might, but not sure, so I can't  say it ain't so?! But, groaning at the gym? Oh my say it ain't so!?!
