Long Time No Blog...

Hey guys :) Sorry its been so long since I have blogged but the end of August and the Start of September have been crazy busy for me. Let's recap:

August:

• I ran a second 5K (did a little bit better than my first but not enough to be excited about)
• Took a 9 day trip to Seattle and Alaska- had an awesome time and saw some downright AMAZING things ~ plus a Seattle Mariners game!!

September:

• Kids started school ~ and so did I
• I have ran everyday in September except for 5 days. Pretty good if you ask me!

So that's what I have been up to. My classes, which I only have two going right now, are pretty laid back so far but I am trying to get ahead as much as I can in preparation for when it starts to get really crazy typically around the middle of October when my other 3 classes start. As of right this minute I am on schedule to graduate next spring and I could not be more excited. As for the working out; being on a cruise for the last week of August and beginning of September proved to be a bit of a challenge (since there is food EVERYWHERE on a cruise) but I only gained 1/2 pound which I think is quite an achievement. I am still running most everyday and am planning on running a third race on the 13th of October. I have lost 2 more pounds since the start of September but I am still struggling with Willpower when it comes to food. Sometimes I feel like I get food on the brain and until I eat it it wont go away. And that's when I feel at my weakest; but I am starting to recognize the triggers and hopefully will get stronger each day. Do you struggle with Willpower in any aspect of your life? In other news my sister and her husband are thinking about coming out here sometime in the near future, hopefully around Thanksgiving or New Years. I am really looking forward to that since I haven't seen my family since June. I really love this time of year, the leaves are starting to change and the mornings are cool I love the Fall its such a great time of year!

Hope y'all are having a great start of the new season!!
