Personal bests
I’m so proud of myself! This week at the gym I achieved 2 personal bests:
1. On Tuesday I ran 3 miles in 39:25. So I can officially do a 5K now, and I beat the 40 minute mark, which is easily a personal best!
2. Today I ran 1 mile in 12:08. That’s doing a mile at 5.0mph, and for me that’s flying! So I can do it! I can run faster and faster. I don’t think I’ll ever get below 10 minute miles… and I’m a helluva long way from that now… but I’m proud that at 42, I am in good enough shape that I can improve my time over and over again. A few months ago even I was having trouble getting below 15 minutes for a mile. This is a major improvement and I’m proud!
I’ve eaten Chinese food almost every day this week so far. It’s so weird - everyone is serving…
Sat: Tim and I ordered Chinese food.
Sun: I ate leftovers.
Mon: No chinese
Tuesday: Thai for lunch, Chinese for dinner at a presentation
Wednesday: Chinese and sushi for dinner with my family that is in from the UK
Thursday, that’s today: Leftovers from Tuesday.
I’m so sick of the far east right now it’s crazy. On the plus side, I’ve managed to stay away from the pot stickers and the egg rolls and stuff like that. I know it’s still bad for me but I’m consoling myself with that achievement. LOL Hopefully I’m not doing too much scale damage, but I think I probably am.
Is it the new year yet? Even though the no gluten-diet helps me avoid the cookie temptation, I’ve got to tell you I’m seriously tired of eating. Must get back to normal.
Hugs to all! Ellen

OK, no more Chinese for you.
On the other side, you proved that you can do whatever you put your mind to. 300 miles before Thanksgiving?Done. Running under 15 minutes per mile? Done. Losing weight at a rate of about 2 pounds a week? Done. Having a great boyfriend, being introduced into his family, and buying skinny clothes? Done, done, done.
What else are you going TO DO Ellen? Universe, beware. Here she comes.
Hugs,
