Creeping, creeping

slowly creeping upward. I am nearing my 'danger' zone in the weight department. And I don't really FEEL like working hard on anything weight wise. I have a dress I need to fit for my sisters wedding. That is stressing me out.

I think I have the fall/winter blahs. Food has taken on a 'comfort' role for me again. I have to stop the madness. Nip this in the bud. Crack the whip and stay motivated.

Hang in there girl!! You're just in a rutt with these crazy winter blues - I've got em too!

It won't be long and they'll be gone. In the mean time, read by a window to give you that extra bit of light you need during the day. Hopefully it will help.

Cathy, I just wanted to say thank you for giving me a shoulder to lean on last night, going through the transition that you have made must have been emotional as well, and I try to think of you out there kicking ass on the pavement when ever I am having a bad day or a bad run like last night. Keep up the good work! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! You have come so far, don't let the comfort food be the boss of you!

The good thing Cath is that you know and acknowledge this fear. That is the first step really. I am sure it's just a slump that you are going through and your motivation will return soon enough. Try not to be too hard on yourself. :-)
Loving you. Andrea xo

Cathy.. You are such an inspiration, hang in there.. I have been there.. only gained almnost 40lbs back.. that was hard! I have now lost 25 of that.. and I am in that same sort of slump.. I will never give up on myself. However, even with all the foods I just don't eat, I can go to comfort with just about any food. You are not alone, hang in there go for a run, a walk or whatever it takes...
thank you for sharing so much of yourself (and less too) I love knowing I am not alone..

Hi Honey, this a natural thing that happens. Let's face it, you worked so very hard and the results of course, spectacular. But certain things can't be maintained forever. It could well be that your Natural weight is just settling in. You look like a million bucks, don't be hard on yourself. Don't forget too that you are no longer in training for 1/2 marathon. All that running, rain or shine to reach that finish line under your goal finish, right. You'll find the right balance for your new body believe me. I look at all your comments and I see such a supportive network of friends, how blessed you are. xx

You are by far the most motivated and inspirational person I have the pleasure of knowing.

Life is a roller coaster full of ups and downs and it is what we do during those down times that shape who we are and make the ups so much sweeter.

Hang in there and just take pride in how far you have come instead of dwelling on what hasn't been written yet.

You will find that will power to over come these winter blues. I wish I could only have half the amazing will power you have. Care to share?!
