I have for the last few months been very serious about changing my diet and eating patterns. I will admit after my second child, I started to lose my motivation for being in excellent shape. Okay shape seemed good enough and I wasn't really near okay actually for a year or so. I had settled into pudgy Mama mode.
My Mom is terminally ill with a degenerative disease. She has Lewy Body Dementia which is a delightful combination of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and schizophrenia. My mother has always been very thin but never exercised and lived on nicotine, caffeine and sugar for most of her life.
I have been watching my strong independent intelligent Mother slip away and at Thanksgiving she was in awful shape. I want to be in the best possible shape that I can be in so that I can be an active Grandmother the type of Grandmother my Mother would love to be but cannot.
This week I have worked out twice but had a massive cheat meal on Sunday night. It was worth it.
My brother has asked other friends to run some races with us. And I am starting to get more and more worried about how sllllooooowwww a runner I am.
