147.0

We are through the toughest part of black belt training. Phew! I know that I'm not the one doing the wind sprints, 2 minute kick boxing trials for an hour straight, burpies, shrimpies, etc, but I feel like I've been through the emotional ringer watching my baby go through all of this. Yesterday, they had to block a punch to the head--that was fun to watch (not).  And, we get to do it again next year because my daughter wants her black belt. Ugh.

My daughter got one of the main parts in the school play. That means daily after-school play practices and weekends and such. Double ugh.

When you're in the middle of the chaos, it somehow seems calm and easy. Once you're through it all, you look back and say "holy ****!"

Today is shopping for winter clothes, jackets, etc. In Colorado, all of this rain could be foreshadowing a nasty winter--it could also mean that we don't get a single flake of snow. Gotta love Colorado.

hmmm, up to 122.5. not alarming but i don't like it. I have not been tracking for a month or so and decided to get back to it. i think its mostly fluid and the fact that i have been pretty sedentary but gotta work on it. guess the training wheels come back on. but its ok. i don't mind.

hope everybody is well. yah, i love colordado too!

146.2- a new low for me ( if you don't count some brief moment back, say, circa 1966 or 67). This whole journey just never ceases to amaze me.  I used to have these daydreams - fantasy  about this without any faith or hope of living the reality of the dream.  God, never let me forget where I've come from,  and give me the courage, dedication, discipline and commitment to keep doing whatever I need to to stay here.

138.2#. Windows open and nice breeze coming through.  I've enjoyed my day.  

I need to go winter clothes shopping...I have nothing.  No jeans, no winter coat...too bad we can't shop together!
