not giving up yet

For lack of a better cliché, today I almost threw in the towel about eight different times. I wanted to give up on weight loss so badly. I’ve had a pretty bad last few days diet-wise. I haven’t gone completely overboard, but I really haven’t stuck to the plan by any means.

Today was the roughest. It’s not that I was surrounded by cookies and doughnuts or whatever, it’s just that it was another day of you know… life. Anyway, it’s the winter blahs I’m sure. The weather has just recently changed to make it seem more like January and it’s depressing. Plus I don’t have too much going on at work which is making me LAZY. I haven’t wanted to run and yada yada yada… I could go on.

But you know what?

I just totally ran 3.0 miles! I am psyched! It’s such a good feeling of accomplishment when you finish a good run like that and I’ve said it umpteen gazillion times since I started running again this time around that if I could bottle that feeling and have a dose of it every day I completely would. It’s amazing and rejuvenating.

So I’m almost half way to my 10K goal and I didn’t cheat on my diet all day today. Also, I'd been putting it off, but I finally tried on the bridesmaid dress for my sister-in-law's wedding today and it's definitely too big. Tell me how much I rock.

Now I’m going to sit my butt on the couch and watch American idol.
