And how could I have left? I won’t get into, but the reasons were stupid on my part.

I need this blog. It helps me, you all help me and I am inspired by everyone’s progress. Also, my weight loss has really slowed down (er, stopped?) since I stopped writing here. Coincidence? I think not.

Today, as I sit here eating grapefruit and sipping coffee, I can say that I have changed my lifestyle. Yes, there are the occasional slip ups and probably always will be. But thus far I am proud of what I have accomplished. I ran 3.2 miles yesterday. Yes, ME! And guess what ? I wasn’t winded, my legs didn’t burn like fire.  Ok, it was a flat course, but darn it, I did it.  I have signed up for a 10k in February and I’m going to be ready.

Let’s see, what else is new? Oh yes, I started a job. No, it’s kind of like part time (prn, if you know what that means). I’ll only probably work like once a week, but I get to choose my own schedule. Still working with babies, not at my old place of employment though. It’s pretty slow there, so I have to make sure I bring a book. Healht-wise, I don’t like being so sedentary. I’m not even that sedentary at home, so it’s a bit of a change. My legs usually ache afterwards from sitting down so much. But it pays pretty well and I get to cuddle infants, so it works for now.

Ok, off for a run. I’m going on the hilly course and am going to do 2.8 miles. Just watch, it will be harder than the 3.2 miles lol. So happy to be back. I will post more later :) AND I need to get caught up on everyone’s blogs!
