Is it Monday or Windsday?

I didn't eat very well this weeked at my parents' house. Plus just getting there and stopping to eat a meal on the way (read fast food) and then on the way back home.  Not to mention my Dad taking us out to eat after church yesterday and the constant desire to snack while visiting, I figured I was going to gain my hard lost weight back. 

My parents are overweight, my Mom gets a lot of Schwann stuff and that's mostly what they eat.  My Dad has had some major health issues recently and was told that he needs to lose some weight or he's going to die.  So my Mom has decided to try to start cooking again.  The problem is, she associates homemade cooking with eating healthy.  Saturday the dinner she made was a family sized can of chili on top of tortilla chips, cheese, onion and olives.  Since she put it together and baked it, it must be healthy, right?  My Mom is an extremely lazy cooker.  She doesn't like to cook and the easier the better.  The problem is that most "easy" foods are not good for you. 

So this morning I decided to see if I gained any weight. And sure enough, I was up 2 lbs, back to 171.  :-(  But, my "official" weigh in is not until Friday, so I have all week to lose those 2 lbs and more (hopefully).  On the bright side, I had to tighten my belt. I've had this belt forever.  Whenever I gain weight, I refuse to loosen the belt, so the notch I use it on is very pulled on.  I don't know how to describe it, but if you were to look at my belt, you could easily see which notch I use.  However, this weekend I had to tighten it.  I noticed that the belt was not holding my pants up. 
                                                                           

I am sooooooo looking forward to my run today.  I can't even tell you.  Three days without a run is too long for me.  I love it so much look forward to it everyday.  I'm always checking the weather to see if the sun is out.  I can't wait for summer when I get to run in the warm sun.  Unfortunately for me, the summer here doesn't start until mid to late July.

Today as I was walking into my office I noticed the sun (yay!) but then realized it's also windy.  I hate running in the wind.  Now the sun is mostly gone, but at least it's not raining as well.  The only thing worse than running in the wind is running in the wind and the rain. 

                                                                               

Today is the day that I get to run up the dreaded hill.  I've nicknamed it horrendous hill (HH) but in reality it isn't that bad.  It just looks really bad when you are standing at the bottom of it looking up, all winded from running up the gradual part of the hill.  I'm a little worried about not being able to make it the whole way since I took 3 days off.  I know I can . . . I know I can . . . I know I can.  :-)
