Hello, my lovely supporters! This past weekend was spent in the lovely New Orleans. While I took a break from the diet – hello Cafe Du Monde – I did make sure that we walked everywhere and that offset the wonderful beignets with eating only two meals a day. I did have a beer, or two or three, and one hurricane. In spite of that, I managed to keep the scale the same at 156 pounds this week. Better yet, the time spent in sunny, 60-degree weather got my blood flowing and made me look forward to running again.
Given the fact that my wonderful husband ran his first marathon while we were there and seeing how fun and encouraging everyone is towards the runners, it made me contemplate actually running a longer race. I’m not convinced that 26.2 miles is for me, especially after seeing how sore and tired Jim was for several days afterwards, but I can see 13.1 miles in my future. There’s a Princess half-marathon at Walt Disney World next February. I’m not committing to it yet, but I am looking long and hard at it. Who would be there to cheer me at the finish line if I do commit?
I can pack my running shoes but I literally have not run in at least two months. I'm not promising anything!
Mmmmm…beignets. Seriously life-changing. I have, unfortunately, taken quite a few breaks from the diet, but then again, it is supposed to be a life-long adjustment. We shall see!
Thanks! I'm not certain how that happened, but I'll take it!!
Good luck!! I'll be thinking of you and want full details on your run after that.
The hurricane is an amazing drink; it goes down very easily and hits it even harder. The Princess run should be interesting. I need to decide whether I am going to commit to it or not.
I'll be there running with you! PS – Are you packing your running shoes? I have an easy (seriously – it's a lot of walking) 5.5 miler scheduled for this weekend. 🙂

I'd be there in spirit to cheer you on at the finish line! 😀
A break from the diet's always allowed. I was taken out to dinner last night to a restaurant called Le Monde too. 😀 Beautiful pastries and tarts that just had to be eaten. 😉

You should do it! I'm stalking blogs right now as I'll be running the princess half next week! Even training for and getting ready for it has been amazing!

I'm glad to hear you had such a fun time! Hurricane would be less fun though… and the princess run sounds like an awesome time 🙂
