My Favorite Quote-   "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I have recently lost a lot of weight and running is very new to me (I started running about 2 years ago).  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.

My new weight goal is to have lost 100 pounds.  I am quite sure I can get to about 93, but I am not sure about the 100.  The weight tracker is tracking my total weight loss.

Now settle down Marion, going to the doctors should not be that exciting! But, YIPEE for taking care of yourself! It looks like you have dropped acouple more pounds!! That is a huge YIPEE! Let us know how the appt. went, hope it is just a minor set back.

I am 100% it is a sinus infection so I am excited to get on an antibiotic and feel better by Friday night :) I am twisted, I know! ;D

Yes, Les I am down :) Thanks for noticing. I am back to my goal weight and I am very happy about that!! My pants were too big today :D Now to move on to the next goal!! I am going for 100#'s

From leslie on Nov 19, 2008 at 15:01:48

YEAHHH!!!! I am screaming for you!! Nothing in the world makes me happier than baggy pants!!! And then it is off to find some skinny jeans and sassy shirt to show it off!!! Wooh! Wooh!

From marion on Nov 19, 2008 at 15:03:05

Thanks Les- I would be thrilled, but I just got them last month :( I'll live though :)

From Kelli on Nov 19, 2008 at 15:05:32

It is okay, cause you did it! I hope the DR goes well! A sinus infection is no good, but at least you will get some medicine and get it all cleared up!

From jona on Nov 19, 2008 at 15:19:56

Hope you feel better soon Marion, congrats on that weight barrier! You rock girl!

From marion on Nov 19, 2008 at 16:40:15

The doc gave me some killer stuff and said I should be GREAt soon :) The antibiotic he gave me even covers anthrax! Cool! ;)

From Lucia on Nov 19, 2008 at 16:41:09

Yeah! I hate antibiotics, but it's the only thing that works for me on sinus infections. Get well soon!

From leslie on Nov 19, 2008 at 16:50:31

Yeah! You will be back to your old self soon!

From Metcalf Running on Nov 19, 2008 at 17:20:11

Marion,

Hope the good meds get you feeling better soon :)

From tarzan on Nov 19, 2008 at 17:55:28

(Note to self - send Marion some anthrax in the mail).

From muffled marion on Nov 19, 2008 at 17:58:31

Maurine- I don't think you can say that out loud. Big Brother!!

From tarzan on Nov 19, 2008 at 18:00:11

Why not? I'm the same person whose son likes to announce loudly (while getting on an airplane and flexing his biceps) - "I'm surprised they let me bring these guns on the plane!"

He must be fun to travel with :)
