I Kicked Butt in the Sprint! (...too bad it is a marathon)

Well, I think I probably lost more weight than anyone else at work this week for the
Biggest Loser competition, but the contest is 11 weeks long, not 1!!

* * * *

Update - just got the results email. So I wasn't the biggest loser - I was the 2nd biggest loser - only 1 guy ahead of me...out of over 60 people. I drank 2lbs of water before the weigh-in this morning to pad it a bit. Had I not done that I'd been way ahead of everyone. So, my point still stands...losing that much in one week isn't the best way to do it.

In other sprint/marathon news, I talked to my mom last night and found out she and Mrs. Clark walked SIX MILES last weekend!!! I'm so proud! She still says she's waiting until the week of the Gusher Half Marathon to decide if she'll actually do it, and so far is just helping Mrs. Clark train (she has already signed up), but that is plenty for me. I'm proud of them for getting out there and training regardless of whether or not she actually enters the race or not.

My parents were FINALLY inspired to train for a race after watching my sister run a 6:30 marathon (my races did nothing to inspire them. What? No, seriously.) Anyway, they are coming to do the Bayou City Classic and I am so excited to see them being active! Mom is planning on walking it and my dad is going to run it - I can't wait!! Congrats on getting them out there and training!

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....
