week 12

I was planning by now to post some pictures of myself. before and after type pictures. I thought 12 weeks would be enough time to be more comfortable. I'm just not there yet. But I have lost a little over 12 pounds now. I wanted more but averaging a pound a week isn't bad. My triathlon training this week went well. I was able to run, bike and swim at least once, some twice.
I failed at lent. I had a week and a half to go and I failed. My step dad is in the ICU right now and we just found out he has a stage 3 bone cancer. So I've been quite emotional and stressed. By Wednesday, I just didn't care and had a girl scout cookie. Okay, I had 3. But I feel so much better when I don't eat treats so I kind of recommitted. With the weight loss success I've been having since I stopped eating treats, I find it's not worth it to eat them again. No regrets come swim suit time!

week 12: 187.8
with a loss of 2 lbs this week!

Don't look at it as failing. You've done an awesome job! Seriously. I could never do it!

Yeah, really! You didn't fail, you did awesome! I'm also sorry about your step-dad. What's the prognosis?

I assumed everything must have been ok since you didn't post about Gordon on your other blog (until I read this one). Stage III, that's not good is it? How's your mom doing?
