Random Things

One thing that has changed in my life during the past few years is that I have taken up running.  Am I an avid runner?  Uh...I really don't know what that means, but I do love to get out there and hit the road!  I didn't realize how much of a stress reliever it could be!  WOW!  Love it!

I start the mornings I run by drinking some water, eating a banana and heading out for usually 3-5 miles.  I had been then coming home to drink about 32 oz of water and then a gazillion cups of coffee!  Followed by a bunch more water.  But I tell ya....whenever I drink coffee (and I use the word coffee loosely because of how much creamer I put in!!!) I end up having major blood sugar drops and then pigging out!

So...I quit coffee....again.

And then the headache ensued.

For 4 days.

I almost gave in, but then I was reading in Hezekiah and Romans and all of a sudden my headache lifted.  Thank you, Jesus!! 

I feel so much better without the coffee, but I sure do miss it.  And am drinking oodles of water which is good!  Trying to get back on track with the weight loss.  I was at my lowest weight ever at the end of last year, but since then I have gained back about 20 pounds!  YUCK!  Dropping the coffee and really focusing on my eating/exercise I lost 5.2 pounds last week.  Not healthy, but it's headed in the right direction.  I am hoping to be at least 1 pound LESS than my lowest weight by December 31!

I can do this with help from the Lord!!  :)

And I am still headache free!  No more coffee.  No more caffeine.  It's really healthier that way! :)
