I had a pretty good day today. I went to the gym and did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then tried to run. I ran a mile and my ankle tendons were SPLITTING with pain. I decided you know, if I keep on, I am going to injure myself. So I stopped. I did some serious abs, including the ab coaster where I put on 20 pounds of weights each side. Then I went to the part of the gym where it's mostly all men, because that is where most of the weights are. There are little weight stations at two other places in the gym, but they were being taken by personal trainers. You can't use the weights at the same time a personal trainer has a client there, that's the rule. So I went to the "big boys" section of the gym and was happy I found two 5 pound weights. I went to town, I didn't care. I was surrounded by big, buff guys - most of whom were barely out of high school. I lifted my weights and was done. My ankles are feeling a lot better, so I think I will be able to run tomorrow. Then on Sunday I will take a strength/cardio class. Good times.

I just can't believe this Thanksgiving. I ate a weird breakfast - an Atkins bar and some sugar free cherry pie filling. Then I went to my mom's and I ate a FULL Thanksgiving dinner. My doctor gave me carte blanche and I took it. I didn't grossly overeat, but I had a small helping of everything, and my plate was full. I even had two pieces of pie and only one was sugar free. After that, I sat around the table for about half an hour, talking, and then I announced to my guests that I was about to go for a two mile walk in 5 minutes and they were welcome to join me. They all declined and I said "Fine, I don't mean to be a rude host, but I have to go for my blood sugar." (It's AMAZING what having diabetes does! You can insist on ALL KINDS of crap, from healthy eating to needing time to exercise.) My cousins and friends walked 3 blocks with me, and then turned back. I proceeded to walk 3 miles. I got back home, took my blood sugar 2 hours after eating, thinking it would be over 200, and it was only 141! I just couldn't believe it. I guess I was being really awesome by insisting on that 45 minute walk. I felt great. I almost felt like jogging about half way through that walk, but wasn't dressed for it. I got home, had a couple of Coke Zeroes while everyone else was drinking wine, and went home. I ate some glucose tablets instead of eating another meal - maybe not the healthiest, but I totally feel like I have had ENOUGH food today. So overall it was awesome. I didn't overeat, I got exercise, my carbs are not terrible, it was a good day!

I am taking off yet another day from the gym. Yesterday I had appointments, today I had appointments and I have to make pies all afternoon for Thanksgiving. Tomorrow I will be eating, and I probably won't go to the gym until Friday. Oh well. I am going to have a little bit of potatoes and a little bit of stuffing with my turkey and green beans this year - my doctor has given me permission to have high blood sugar on Thanksgiving, Christmas and my birthday. Whoo hoo. I guess I will test after I eat, it will probably be terrible. Like close to 200. Oh well. I intend to get out and take a nice walk to digest the food afterwards, and hopefully that will help my blood sugar. I did walk the dog for 30 minutes today, so at least I got SOME exercise.

I have gained two pounds, which I am trying not to get too upset about, but my body has unexplainedly changed again! I have GAINED two inches in my bust, 1/2 an inch in my waist, and I LOST 1 inch on my hips! What the f**k? It's crazy. I have been running and taking strength classes like crazy, and my breasts have gotten bigger. And it's not that special time of the month. I could be building up pec muscle, but it seems a little odd. My hips have been all over the place - a month ago they were 37, now they are 35. My measurements as of this morning are 39", 32 1/2", and 35. Craziness!

I am fighting with my cousin, a minister's wife, because in response to a post on Facebook, which said "'LIKE' if you have been baptised and accepted Christ", I put "I have been baptised but I do not accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior, unless he really wants to show up and he is down for that." Oh, she is HOT for me. I can't believe she gives a shit what I think. Go save someone and leave me alone! What does this have to do with Fat Secret? Well, I appreciate that a lot of people on here are Christian or have different beliefs than I do, and I'm an agnostic. Sometimes I say irreverant things in my journals or I take the name of someone's Lord in vain. No one has ever criticized me for that on Fat Secret and I really appreciate it. I feel I can be myself here without being scrutinized or penalized. I really value that.

I ran farther and faster than I ever have tonight. I ran 3.5 miles at 4.1 miles per hour. I have decided that I am "training" again. I am training for a 10K that is six months from now. It is twice as far as I can run right now. I am determined to do it, and I am determined to get my speed up to at least 4.5 miles an hour to do it, also. I have downloaded some new super funky music on my ipod and I had a great time running to it tonight at the gym. People at the gym are so boring when they work out. Everyone has headphones and they stare straight ahead like they are oblivious. I get down. I wave my hands in the air like I just don't care, I mouth the words, I have a great time. Let them look at me. I'm having an awesome time and I'm the one running on the damn treadmill sweating while you are looking at me from the relative safety of the ARC trainer. Ha! And when I achieve goals, like the first time I ran a mile, or the first time I ran two miles, or the first time I ran 3.2 miles, I let out a yell when I'm done and believe me that gets the looks. These people need to lighten up and get a little motivation. I want to be around people that are so thrilled and psyched with their workout that they just need to make a joyful noise to the Lord, so to speak.
