Hello Hello Hello! I'm taking the liberty of starting a new thread for us. I think going for 2 months at a time is good...if anyone disagrees...well...you can start the next thread hee hee!
Sorry I've been MIA the past couple of days. I've just plain been busy between having work and fun! I've been to the pool or beach both Saturday and Sunday and got some good sunshine in! It's so hard to not go to one or the other when you live on the coast of FL (born & raised!). I went out on Friday night for the first time in a very long time. I saw quite a few of the folks that I work out with regularly at the gym (although we usually go about our own ways and don't speak, just smile and nod at the gym) and one of the guys was friends with my friend...well, he came up to me, said hello, introduced himself...we talked about running for a second...then I had to go (just got to the bar and no drink in my hand!!) in any case...he told my friend that I was very pretty...and he has been friends with my friend since elementary school....we didn't talk much after that, but I did catch him checking me out a few times and he did grab my hand as I walked past him for another trip to the bar....too bad he just moved about 2 hours south of wehre I live for work...so probably not a good prospect.
Oh...I'm talking about guys a lot lately because I finally broke up with my DBF of 6.5 years last week. It's been a long time coming. I'm happy about it because we have been on such different planets for a long time. It was well past due and although it's not what he wants, we are working things out as friends and it does look like all will be okay.
Let's see...my goals for this month....I'd like to dip down into the 140's if at all possible. I don't know if my body is ready to go there yet. I know I've reached my original goal, but I don't think another 10lbs would hurt. I still have flabby arms and as much as I work them out and lift weights, I do believe that I need to lose a few more pounds to get them to where I'd be happy with them. I'd also like to up my running over the course of the month. Currently I run 3.1 miles (5k) 5 nights a week. I'm working on changing that to 5k 3 nights a week and then working up to a 5 mile run a couple of nights a week. I'm really into my running and would like to become a distance runner. I'm absolutely ecstatic about how well I am coming along with my running as I was never a runner (even as a teenager) and now I just love it. It's also a great way to meet people who share a similar interest...because from my new found experience, runners love to talk running...and they love to do it with others...I've been invited by a couple of different guys at the gym to go running with them in various places...and I may eventually take them up on some of it!
I need to get back on track with my fiber intake...it has gone down lately....it is what got me to lose my weight, but I have not been tracking it faithfully, but do know I need to increase it a bit!
Well, I'm outta here, got lots of work that needs to be done!
