Today, October 28, 2015 I went to lunch with some colleagues from work and ordered from the menu. I decided to order a Patty Melt, didn't think much of it! Several months ago if I had ordered this meal I would have gone back to work without even thinking about it. Well today it was different. Yes, I ordered the patty melt (did not think about) and after it made me sick, I did something I never did in the past, I looked up the calories.
I was in shock ... almost 1200 calories for just the sandwich. It made me sick to my stomach again!
Bad choices today ... lessons learned for tomorrow!

registrations...
I am sorry it has been weeks since my last post. My life has become my workouts, work and school work. I don't have a lot of time to myself. It is right now 10:51 and I should be in bed since I have to be in the gym in the morning. However, I have to share some updates.
The scale is still moving in the correct direction and as of today, October 27th I am now down 25.5 pounds!! I am excited. I wish, like so many others that it will come off faster but I will continue to take it one step at a time. The one thing that still frustrates me is, I feel different; my clothes feel different but I recently saw some pictures of me and it doesn't look like there has been much change in my appearance. I know in time it will show ... patience isn't my best quality.
It has been almost 2 years since my last half marathon and 9 years since my last marathon. I have been starting to get the itch. So a few weeks ago I registered for the Lake Effect Half Marathon in February, which happens to be my last half and the Vermont City Marathon in May. I decided to register early and get them on my calendar so my work schedule doesn't get in the way. I need to focus on something when completing my workouts and this will help me. I don't want anything to get in my way. I am in the midst of trying to heal an injury, fractured hand, but I don't think that should slow me down in the long run (no pun intended). I haven't told too many people but now you all know so it is out there! I haven't set any big goals with both of these races, just to cross the finish line, in the allotted time.
I am looking forward to the races but there still is a lot of time on the calendar.
