Some days you wake up not knowing how you should feel.
Today is one of those days.
Six years ago today, around 1 or 2 in the afternoon, I received a phone call that changed my life forever.
My sister Amy had passed away.
As C.S. Lewis said about the death of a close loved one – it’s like an amputation. You never get over it. You don’t out grow it. You don’t get used to it. You just learn to live without it.

down .6 pounds from last week.
3.4 total since beginning in Oct.

cardio
So I usually feel decent about my cardio abilities — at least when it comes to walking or riding my bike. Last night I decided I’d try 5 to 10 minutes of jumping rope to get some exercise going.
Let me just say — I am out of shape — and I have no rhythm.
I was super winded when I finished and I was unable to jump rope more than 24 times in a row. There was a lot of restarting and getting to 10-15 before the rope hit my head or one of my feet. Geeze.
But I’ll keep pushing on. Maybe I’ll get up to 26 jumps in a row before all this is over!

Don’t look happy about it but I lost 3.6 lbs this week. Good for a week I spose, so far I’ve been working on watching what I’m eating — need to add some activity in there somewhere.
So, here are the stats.
This week — 3.6 lbs
Net weight loss since starting the challenge with Thomas on Oct. 10, 2008 — 2.8 lbs.
It’s all in how you look at it…
re: Cowboys loss yesterday:
Fire Wade. Cut Romo and Witten. Redesign the cheerleaders’ outfits. Blow the whole thing up. Start over.
