OK... I worked out 3 days in a row. Yesterday I ran in the AM and weights in the PM. Today I went swimming and sat in the sun by the pool to get work on my tan. I feel much better. Maybe I have defeated the lazy slump I've been stuck in. I sure hope so.

SOOOO....I thought I was doing so well towards meeting my goal I went and dug all my clothes that were to small out of storage...I was all excited...until I tried them on!!!!What a bummer...not even close...can't believe I gained so much weight in such a short period of time...wish it was as easy to lose as it is to gain!!!!I am better...at least my jeans will go over my knees...and some I can even zip up without having to grease myself up and use a crow bar to slip myself in!!!Kind of depressing...but I'm still gonna hang them all up...I know I WILL fit in them one day soon!!!

I tried to put a scanned full length one in #2 spot but it will not upload? Another day.... Ok guys I am officially back on track. I worked out Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues. WOOOO HOOOOOOOOO! 4 days in a row. And going to ride bikes with my son as soon as he finishes homework. Keep the hope KC ... they will fit soon. You are still going in the right direction. I have a couple weeks of going in the wrong direction to make up for here. P.S. I love teaching 3rd grade. The little ones are really so entertaining.
