Steve has agreed to be a part of Eppie's Great Race - a local triathalon that involves kayak, run and bike. He will do the kayak portion which is 6.35 miles. This is so wonderful for him - since he has such limited use of his legs due to 3 total hip replacements, he would really struggle w/the other legs of the race.
In order to help him stay motivated, I looked up and found a 5K race for Shane and I to train for and compete in. There's a kid's fun run that morning too which I will see if Shelby will be allowed to "compete" in with her powerchair.
Tonight we went grocery shopping and I am so proud of us - we bought really, really healthy food.
A few days ago, after a night of really poor eating (read: bingeing), I threw up (something in all my years of an eating disorder I've never done - on purpose or accidentally) and had diarrhea all day. I took that as a sign that my days of sugar addiction are done. I've been eating well ever since and now that Steve and I have goals, I am so excited - especially with Steve's idea of Shane competing and training with me - love it!!!
Here's to a much healthier 2012!! :)
