Today marks the end of three weeks. (among other things.

) My original goal was to be this sexy hot thing for when my hubby was gonna come back from his classes. He's still gone for another 5 weeks. BUT, I suppose I should re-analyze my goal. How about New Years? I'll work hard like a freak until New Years, and then I'll do it more calmly and much more slow and normal. Then I can start 2007 fresh, (and hopefully hot.

) I guess my goal will be.... hmm.... New years is about, what? like 7 and 1/2 weeks away? We'll go with 7. In the next 7 weeks I want to lose 15 lbs. Not TOO ambitious, but definately work! Then I'll be 146 and feel great when that ball drops!
I did end up going to the gym and working out like CRAZY.

How crazy? Well, remember quite a few blogs back when I ran over 3 miles and was so excited, I made my new goal to run 5 by Dec. 15?? Well, I did. Five Miles.

Wow. Where in the world did that come from? I had some serious inner strength I hadn't felt in a long time. I told myself when I got on that treadmill that I was either gonna run until my legs fell off, or until the treadmills maximum time ran out. Well, I went until the time ran out. An hour, so, 5 miles. I felt good, but not as elated as I would have if it would have been last week. But, it's still a pretty great milestone for me physically.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna get all bummy and depressing to anyone who reads this. I'm a very upbeat person, and since I KNOW I'm doing the right thing, I'll be okay.
The only thing I'm worried about is my diet. When you THINK SO HARD, about SO MUCH, you kind of have a loss of appetite. Or an increase of one. So far for me, it has been loss. I did pull into a store parking lot tonight and actually think through going inside and buying all the ingredients for a yummy taco salad. Then coming home, ordering pizza, ooey, gooey, cheesesticks, and some ice cold soda.... but I didn't. I couldn't stomach that idea completely. That would have made me wake up tomorrow ALOT more out-of-sorts.
My only hope for today? That the 5 mile run aided in me losing that blasted pound that doesn't want to go back away!

Leave pound, leave!
Thank you for the positive thoughts, and hope everyone has a great weekend. Remember, if I go through this and don't gorge on ice cream and cookies, so can you. I'm weak, I just don't want to be a single mom, AND feel like crap about my body. Not a good combination when going back out on your own! LoVe Ya'LL
