It has been awhile since I have last blogged.  We had a good Memorial weekend.  I have lapsed in my weight-loss journey.  I have become complacent in my journey. I want to lose the weight but don't seem to want to do the work. I know, I know, if I really want it, I'll do the work. That's easier said than done because alot has happend since the last time I blogged.  I started back to work nights at K.I. and they are training me for a new job. We need to move in august and we don't know if we'll be able to own a house this year, to rent a 3 bedroom where we want, it will be way abouve our means, we don't want to stay where we are at, blah, blah, blah.  I am doing the run Kings Island in august.  I haven't exercised in a month, and I had to go to the doctor because of my back. The doctor said my back muscles were weak and I needed to bould them back up. I need to stop the excuse train and get back to eating right and exercising.  Has anyone else found themseles slipping back into the rut they were in the beginnning of the year?

I am going to run in the "run kings island " 5-10k on august 10, 2008. So I need to start training. As I* have mentioned before I have shin splints so I havve to start out slowly. Does anyone have any advice on training for this?

I am trying to find motivation daily and this week seems harder than ever. We are trying to save for a house so we are cutting down on our expenses such as, we are cancelling our y pass for the next three months and we are not grocery shopping until we get rid of the food in the house, which seems to be all junk food. We still have a workout room in the clubhose and a lake with a 2.2 mile trail to walk. No excuses, huh? I feel the weight either creeping up or not budging. anyone else find this familiar or am I alone?
