Way out of control again... started so well on Jan 24th and I spoiled it all... Went down 4kg and back 2.5 up... ugh...
I definitely need to do something about it... it's so hard, it makes me feel so bad, so ashamed... I have to get going I really must.
I am so demotivated and so unmotivated and so like low... down... not nice... I haven't run in ages, I can't get myself out, I am eating really badly... hello? Wake up girl... you're 40 you know... it's about time I control my life!!!

Rett Syndrome
Let's help them!
I am a mother of 3 as you probably know. Just thinking our family could undergo something like this makes me shake. There's lots to be done. These families should get all the help they need from the authorities and everyone in order to give their children the best possible life.

Wow! It's been a while!
Hi, my name is Jacky... geez... haven't been around for a while!
Ok... so, not much running going on so not much to report there. Only a 10K on Feb. 13 here in Girona, my city. Badly organized but done in 1:09, slow and horrible... felt thick and heavy.
I managed to do a protein diet for a month and lost 4kg but have been eating nonstop all of last week. I have a pain in my back. I thought it was a contracture but it seems to be the kidney, not nice... so I have to have that seen too.
No school this week. I work Mon and Tues and then have the rest of the week off, so do the kids :p I think we'll have fun :D
Next Sunday, 2ยช phase of the competition for Paula. She's really looking forward to it. I just hope it fulfills her expectations! So great to see how she's getting into it! She's actually created a blog today to talk about her love for gymnastics... too cute... she's 8 (as of last week) and acts like a pre-teen at times... yikes!
Feeling a bit down, demotivated and lazy/slack. I just hope that goes away soon. I've been having issues... the fat lump that was removed from my leg on Dec. 29th kept getting infected (the cut, that is) and it's been a nightmare. Seems to be ok now (fingers crossed), but now the kidney, no time, having to study, haven't started... I think I'm slightly stressed...
Hope it doesn't take me long to get back here!

My little champ!
Oops... totally forgot about this. I thought I had posted about it! Went to Terrassa on Saturday for Paula's competition. It was great... all the little gymnasts out there. Her team did great and placed 2nd so we had 4 happy girls with a silver medal each! Paula placed 6th overall and was pleased... she failed an exercise on the floor and fell once off the balance beam. A great experience all in all. She was sick, on antibiotic and with anti-thermics to prevent a temperature. It was a great afternoon!

I'M A HALF MARATHONER!!!
Yes, I did it, I managed, I did it!!!!! Woohoo!!! It wasn't easy... a very hilly course/route and extremely hot plus I was undertrained, but I did it. I run the full distance too. OMG... I can't believe it! I was slow but still... I'm sooooooooooooo happy! 2:43:10 was my time (official)... pleased with it, I won't say otherwise... I don't know what the temp was but it felt more like late spring than winter for sure...
I saw some ladies struggling at points and I gave them the gels I was carrying and when I needed one I didn't have it but still... I made it to the end... I'm pooped needless to say and have blisters over my toes but hey... they're the "proof", LOL!
I tried Susan's ice bath but wasn't able to sit in it for long. I think it'll have done me good though!
Ok... I am a half marathoner, how cool is that?

Proud mom (as if I wasn't before, LOL)
Back from Paula's first gymnastics competition of the season... her team's placed 2nd and she's placed 6th overall (best in her team!). Ever so pleased... if she hadn't failed the 2 feet walkover and hadn't fallen off the balance beam... but all in all, we're too happy. Her teammates placed right after her in 7th and 8th place... awesome! What a team! A difficult competition too. Going to Vic in 4 weeks time. We'll see how they do there!
And, off to Granollers tomorrow. Running my first half... not really ready but... there I go! Can I do it? Yes I can!!!!

Back to Banyoles
It's been a while and during that while I haven't trained at all... aye, aye, aye...
I took a day off today and went to my beloved Banyoles and went twice around the lake, once to the right and the other to the left (easier leftwise). I run 10K and walked 3 more. It was slow but I did it and it felt good.
But I have started the protein diet. Been on it since Jan. 24th and after running I got a bit dizzy... it's all gone now but I have to watch out. I really do.
I am attending, unless anything happens, the half marathon in Granollers on Sunday. So, although I'm on the diet, I will take carbs in the am and during the race... I can't play with my health!
We're off to Terrassa on Saturday. Paula's first competition of the season is finally here!!! Coach says she does it great. We'll see how it goes. As long as she enjoys it, that's it!
