Voices in my head

Remember those commercials where the woman is trying to decide if she wants a chocolate chip cookie and there is a little angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, both arguing their cases?

That's what happens inside my head on Saturday mornings. I get out to the levee, excited, ready to go. Then I start walking, and it goes like this:
EVIL: you have got to be crazy to be doing this. ok, you are not even a runner! at this pace, you'll be walking for days in Chicago before you finish.
GOOD: Pay no attention. You are on your way. Just think about it, you got out of bed this morning, and instead of sitting on the couch, eating Fruit Loops, you had oatmeal, water, and came out here to train. You are a marathoner in training!
EVIL: blah, blah, blah. Do you really want to be in pain like this? Look around you! Everyone is faster than you, and you can't even jog!!! Go ahead and quit now.

and so it goes, until I finish the required distance. Is anyone else hearing voices? or should I put the number for the psychiatric ward in my speed dial? LOL

I met Vickie, Kelvin, and Phil, slowly meeting more people, which is great. I wish I could have waited for you Christa, but I had made plans for the zoo and had to get home and get everyone ready.

The zoo was full of people, I guess the great weather inspired everyone. My niece Stephanie and her boyfriend came with us, and thank God bc they were a lot of help with the kids. The boys were good, they LOVE being outside, so I'm sure we are going to spending lots of times outdoors with these 2.

Haven't XT yet today. Braden is teething, and not happy, so I was awake quite a bit last night. My husband let me sleep until 10, and then it was time to get up and get ready to go to his mother's for lunch. When we got home, everyone (including me) took a nap. So when the boys go to bed, I'll get my XT.

Doing better on the eating dept too. I was NOT good while in Orlando and it shows. But I'm back on track and I can tell the difference. I feel much more energized when I eat right.

We are trying to decide what we are doing regarding Chicago. I wanted my husband and daughter to go, but that means someone has to keep the twins. My mom is out of the country, and I'm not sure if she'll be back by then.

So Claude said I should go. I'm not sure if my sisters are going (originally they said they were). Better get on the phone and get an idea. Otherwise, I think I'll be going with the quadruple choice, so I'll be searching for roommates.
