Yesterday was the Re-Fridgee-Eighter 8K run. I'd been training for it since before Christmas. I was nervous about how I would do. I'd been running 5K on the treadmill in 34 min. That means that if I kept that same pace I would do it in 53 min. I anticipating I would do it in 53 min or more. Well yesterday was the big day and the weather was really good. It was only -4 C and the sun was shining. I'm happy to say I ran it in 50 min and 48 sec! I did it faster than I thought. I came in 209th over all, 91st for women and 12th in my age group! I'm waiting for the results to be posted online so I know out of how many people that was. Wieghtloss is still rather frustrating. I"m down to 156 which means I still have 16 more lbs to go and even if I reach that I'm not sure if my clothes will fit. I may have to loose more than that. I'm really getting discouraged. But that doesn't make me work out any less. I've got the exercise bug. I want to do it all day every day. I love working out. It makes me feel good. It would make me feel better if I were loosing inches. I've got to go now, Alexander needs me. He's doing really well. He's doubled his birthwieght and is getting quite big. I think he's discovering his tongue because he's always sticking it out and licking everything.

I know its been a really long time since I've written anything. There just isn't that much going on. I'm going to the gym everyday but I'm loosing weight extreamly slowly. I'm only at 158. I was hoping to be to 140 by march 10th but that definately won't happen now. Then I changed it to be at 150 by them but I don't think I'll even make that. This is so frustrating. I'm doing everything thats been suggested to me by trainers at the gym but its just not coming off. I'm so frustrated. I can't wait to fit back into my clothes. Thats my main goal right now.

I do have some fitness goals one of which will be happening this Sunday. I'm running in an 8K run. I"m hoping to finish it in less than an hour. I hope it won't be too cold. 

Alexander is doing really good. He's really happy most of the time and still sleeps through the night. Sometimes it takes a little while to get him down though. It will be nice when he starts to go to bed earlier because right now he sleeps from 11PM to 7AM which I know is really good for a 4 month old (he's 4 months today) but going to bed at 11PM leaves really no time for Stephen and me. Thats about it for now.
