Oh to be just overweight!

So…the company FINALLY sent me a new scale!  I can’t express how much I needed this.  I feel so much more focused and ready to lose whatever weight I have left to lose.  It’s so weird how much not having a scale messed with my head.  I tried to convince myself that it was good to take some time away but I guess I am just not that kind of girl.  Maybe I’m mentally weaker than others or whatever, but point is…I need my scale and now I have my scale, so all is right with the world once again!

My son’s cat who was injured some time ago is now almost completely recovered and will not have to be put down, thank the Lord.  He just needed some time to rest and recuperate.  Now we have to figure out how he’ll handle things once we all get situated in a new house in a few months.  We’ll just cross that bridge when we come to it, I guess.

I’ve upped my running to 4 days a week and so far, so good!  I feel great and hope to keep this up and then move to 5 days a week and do a training program to increase my speed.  I have my 2nd 5K this Saturday.  I hope to beat my last time and have fun!  My parents are going to be able to come and watch me this time which is super cool.  They haven’t come to see me do anything like this for a few years, so it’s quite motivating!  I love being a runner again!  It’s so invigorating!!

We are closing on my house that we had for sale tomorrow!!  WOO HOO!  The buyers even moved the date up a bit because they were so eager to get into it, Praise God!  I will be one thrilled woman tomorrow afternoon once I hear that all is finalized (all papers are signed)!  And thanks to my in-laws we should be able to get our financing lined up to build our new house almost right away.  We are meeting with the new bank for that on Saturday (right after my run!) to see where we are on that.

So much going on, but pretty much all good stuff.  We are SO blessed!  The weight loss is just icing on the cake at this point.  In a few weeks, when things have settled down, I can focus more exclusively on it.  Right now, I’m just shooting to stay OP and exercise at least 400 min per week.  The weight should still come off despite everything else going on, because I am ready to be at goal ASAP!
