  hang in there Resa!  never underestimate the power of prayer.
  
  i am happy its thursday too.  i have no late night meetings next week so im really looking forward to a nice weekend and then a normal workweek next week.  the weather here has been sunny and crisp and simply gorgeous.
  
  my random fact for the day is that ive started running.  im tired of being fat and our weight loss discussion last week got me thinking.  ive gone 3 times already and while im doing about 18-20 minute miles its a start, and ive been doing 3 miles each time.  ive also cut out all alcohol (so hard!!) and im trying to eat less.

  Resa, thanks for the update. You know I'm here if you need anything at all. In the mean time, you're getting unsolicited prayers and *hugs*. I know a couple of the ladies here have had good success managing PCOS (and the pre-diabetic concerns?) with Metformin, so hopefully they will chime in with encouragement on the diagnosis front.
  
  Calypso, I'm really proud of you. It takes a lot of strength to identify something you want to change and make it happen. Plus, I love the idea of running, but never succeed in making it happen, so I admire the people who do, even if you're just getting started. *hugs* to you, too.
  
  My trip home earlier this week went really well. C slept through all the car rides and did ok sleeping in the strange (to her) house. It makes me excited to go back for a weekend soon! I'm all thrown off by the days of the week because of it, though. I'm ready for the week to be over for my H, though (he's having a rough one), so Friday afternoon can come quickly as far as I'm concerned.

  Calypso, that's AWESOME!  I don't think I could run for 20 minutes straight, so I'm super impressed.  Cutting out alcohol can be hard when you're used to having a glass of wine after work, having a couple beers at HH, etc.   Since I'm prediabetic, I really need to look at my sugar intake a little more critically.  I love sweets.  So far today I've had a mini Snickers, mini Twix, and full size Hershey's with Almonds.  I think I have a problem lol.  I am thinking I need to cut back on my candy bars and carbs, and that includes alcohol.  I also am going to try to exercise more.  We can encourage and motivate each other
  
  Biblio, I'm glad your trip went well!

  I'm glad you at least have a place to move from, Resa.  I'm on metformin right now, and as far as I can tell it's not causing any negative side effects.  My doctor has mentioned moving up to Clomid, but that's only if she can't see any developing follicles at my next appointment.

  
  

  Calypso, that's awesome!  I always start the week strong and then by Wednesday or Thursday I'm chilling on the couch eating chips and watching television.  I know I've got to make a change or it's just going to keep getting harder to get motivated.

  
  

  I'm also happy it's Thursday.  I took yesterday off, and by all accounts my classes were great for my sub.  It's supposed to be the end of the 9 weeks, so progress reports are supposed to be printed soon, but no one has sent out any information regarding when our grades are due.  I'm feeling very uninformed and unprepared.  It's been quite an adjustment moving from a district where everything seemed so organized and micromanaged to this one where everyone is just kind of their own island.

  well, to clarify, my "running" is a power walk mixed with running.  i can run at probably 5 miles per hour for maybe 2 minutes, then i have to walk for 2 or 3 minutes, then go at it again.  hopefully i can build up to be able to run the whole time, even if its at a a slower pace to start.  i have a couple of coworkers who run in 5K's and id love to do one with them in the spring.  i need to get down to 40 minutes for less tho so i dont embarrass myself!

  That's still really awesome, Calypso.  It's good to have a goal -- like running a 5K -- that isn't solely based on appearance or something like that.
