Brewer 5K 5/22

I am a little behind on posting.  I walked/ran in the Brewer "Hope Steps Forward 5k" on 5/22.  The course was mostly flat and it went pretty good.  I finished at 53:33 which was almost 2 minutes faster than my last time.

This week in review

Well this week has not went well for me.  We have eaten out a lot and I just having not been feeling great.  I weighed today and I lost ZERO!  As much as I have eaten I was lucky not to gain 5 lbs.  I have gotta get my butt in gear and get this weight off!  I am doing a 5K on Sat and I hope to beat my previous time.

My Lasik Eye Surgery

Today, we traveled to Auburn, AL for Dr. Hollis to do my lasik eye surgery.  I was perfectly fine during the 4 1/2 hour drive, but when we got to his office I was as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof.  I went through several different tests and then met with Dr. Hollis.  He did several tests also.  Then I took a couple of Xanax to relax me.  After about 20 minutes it was time for my surgery.  The surgery took about 6 minutes.  I was able to see pretty good after surgery but it was still a little blurry.  It has been about 5 hours since the surgery and I can see really good.  I am working on the computer and watching tv and everything is clear.  I can't get used to the fact that I see without glasses or contacts.  I go back in the morning for a checkup.

Today's Weigh In

I had to weigh in today instead of tomorrow, because tomorrow I am going to have lasik eye surgery.  (Prayers would be appreciated)  Well I lost 1 pound!  That puts me up to 25 lbs lost!!!!   I am thrilled.  I have got to get on the ball and start losing 4 or 5 lbs a week like I have done in the past.

Water, Water, and More Water

I never can drink enough water.  I just do not drink anything unless I am eating.  I went to the doctor last week and she wasn't happy with me, because I was dehydrated a couple of weeks ago and my bp dropped really low.  She said I MUST drink more water.  Not tea, not diet drinks, just plain water.  Normally the only thing I drink is diet Sprite and water.  More diet Sprite than water! 

This week I am going to go cold turkey and only drink water.  My goal is to drink at least 32 ounces a day.  Hopefully this will help me loose weight too!

How much water do you drink daily?

Coke 10K 2010

Yesterday, we traveled to Corinth for the Coke 10K.  I am not ready to participate in a 10K, but my daughter and dad did.  This was the first 10K for both of them.  Emilee finished at 58:09 and placed 5th in her age group.  She got a cool gold coke bottle trophy.  Her overall finish was 56th out of 881 runners. 

Daddy finished at 1:11.  He did great considering he just started running in October 09.

No Weight Loss this Week

Well I didn't lose anything this week, but it was expected.  I have not felt like exercising lately and I haven't been eating right.  I have gotta get on the ball and get this weight off!
