Six days and counting!!

Remember this?  Well, Diet Dew and I have broken up.  I'm sooo over it!! I haven't had a sip of soda in 6 days!! Woot Woot!  I've also given up chocolate.  I know.  Crazy!  I'm trying to avoid all sweets, but I have had a few pieces of salt water taffy.  I'm hoping that some day I'll be able to eat chocolate without it becoming a binge.  It's been easier than I thought, but watching the Cupcake Wars was slightly painful ;)

After my great outdoor run a few days ago, my last two have been very disappointing.  They've been difficult.  I can't seem to get my breathing controlled.  My asthma is flaring up for some reason.  It's weird, but the treadmill seems worse than running outside.  On the bright side, I've powered through.  Determination and hard work will help me get to where I want to be!

Happy Weekend!!

COMMENTS CLOSED!!! I'll be back later with a new post to share the winners :) Thanks to all who entered!! ONE WORLD-ONE HEART I'm proud to announce my One world-One heart giveaway!! This is my first year and I think it's way cool! A Whimsical Bohemian is the hostess for this amazing event and I "pirated" the follwing paragraph of info about the event from her: "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number.This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.....

Happy 4th! and... a Giveaway!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! The pic above is of our local fireworks, which we are lucky enough to be able to see from our house :) We had my family over today for a cookout. Steak and chicken on the grill. Yum!!! I chose the chicken. Weird right. I LOVE steak! However, I had two cupcakes yesterday that my daughter made and decorated red, white and blue for a party, so I felt like I'd indulged enough! I love cooking for people. I think I should have more parties :) I ran yesterday for the first time in a long time. I decided to try out the high school track made out of recycled tires. My hip (long story) was sore, but bearable. I started over with Week 5 of the Couch to 5K training program. Figured it was best not to rush it and injure myself again. I had enough left at the end to run the bleacher stairs for 3 minutes!! (My quads were screaming, but it felt oh so good ;) You can't really tell in the pic, but my face was sooo red! I hate that I get this red. My middle d...
