Zevan is 2 years, 3 months, and I have been trying to lose that last 10 lbs since he was 8 months old.   

I’m done with the scale until September.

I’m still going to try and eat healthy, but I’m not going to beat myself over ice cream on a hot summer night.  I’m tired of disappointing myself. 

It’s reminding me of how I felt when I was TTC and every month I got my period, I was devastated.  I feel like that now when I get on the scale.  UGH.  I can’t live like that.  It’s putting me in a bad place, mentally 

I’ve got too much going on right now to worry about weight loss.  I can’t take the pressure.  I want to take my boys for swim lessons, help with projects at the store and around the house, and spend time with my parents. 

That being said, I’m still trying to run that 10K in two weeks.  Well, run as much of it as I can, anyway.  If I run 5K and walk the rest, that’s okay with me. 

I ran with May and Tiffany on Friday.  And I ran today, partly by myself, and partly with May and another mom May knows who is SPEEDY. 

Right now my plan is to run every other day until the two days before the race.  We’ll see how that goes, I guess. 

And, my favorite workout, climbing!  Monday nights, of course.  I may try and go on my own to boulder during the day at least one day a week.  I should do that.  I like doing it. 

I’m trying to figure out a way to study martial arts.   While Tae Bo is fun, I really want to get back to real martial arts training.  It’s the cost that is prohibiting me right now.  I need to figure something out.   

So, that’s my new attitude.  I’m off the calorie counting and working on exercising.  My hope is that I will just maintain my weight for now.  I’ll revisit the calorie counting in the fall.
