Figured it was about time to get new one. lol It was taken on this last Sunday when we presented our Pastor with check for $3015 for a Alaskan cruise. They have been there for 10 years and we wanted to show them how much we appreciate them. We have been raising the money over the last year. I guess that was more information that you asked for. lol

Pretty new avi! Your pastor must have been thrilled with the cruise.
You are sprinting really fast, good job!
He and his wife are beyond thrilled.
Thanks about the sprinting. Wish I could do some of it outside because I think I could really improve some more outside but I am fine inside as we got our first snow already last night.

Love the new avi Vickie.. and your workouts look awesome! Once I'm done with OPT I may need to look into TT, although I already own NROLW, so maybe I'll just go with that. Whatever.... I've got at least 12 weeks before I need to worry about it anyway LOL!
EEK is right Celeste... I am SO not ready for snow!!! I'm still trying to finish painting the windows so we can get the storm windows back on before we turn on the heat. We've been lucky to have some unusually warm weather these last couple of weeks... today I was outside painting in a tank top!

I am feeling much better today. After chatting with my hubby and my pastor just about my roller coaster feelings regarding my diet. I have decided I will continue to do ESE and work on cleaning up my diet some but I am not going to track and really work on not weighing myself more than a few times a week. I have to let go and not allow it to control my life. I will continue to workout because I love it and it is what I look forward too. I pray this will free me up some from the tyranny of the stupid scale. I will concentrate on my measurements and increasing my strength. My goal isn't super lean body but a maintainable body physique that I can be happy with. At this time, I am not happy with what I see and you know, I have to learn to like who I am regardless of my body size. No amount of weight loss or even fat loss will change that, that has to come from within. God and I will work on that internal change and I will continue to work hard on the physical part.

Great progress Vickie. I'm dragging my lazy ass back after nearly 2 months off. Fortunately I didn't gain in that time. Reading your interval speeds is making me dizzy..LOL. Last time I jogged at 5 mph and I swore I saw Jesus. Running is just not my thing but you seem to love it. Good luck with your TT progress.
I am pretty proud of those. Thanks. 
Where do you live again?!
