Feelings...

I'm still continuing to train and have made some real progress as of late. I have dropped a significant amount of weight in the past 2 weeks to which I am very proud! It's nice to know that all those hours in the gym are finally paying off. I have a pair of jeans that I have in my closet that are the "someday I'll fit in these again" jeans. I tried them on yesterday, and I am happy to say that they officially FIT! Not only do they fit...THEY ARE COMFORTABLE!! It is the first time in 7 years that I have been able to wear those jeans. No words can describe that moment...

I am excited to report that from the first day of training until now, I have lost 15.6 pounds!! And since August, I have lost 29 lbs.

I'm almost half way through training. (From Day 1 that is)... My schedule has me running 3,4 and 5 miles this week and then 6 on Sunday. I'm right on track with my distance and my weight-loss. It's hard to believe that as long as I stick with this, in about a month I will be the lowest I can ever remember being.

I'm having some interesting emotions during this process. Usually after about 10 lbs or so lost, I begin to feel confident and attractive. I haven't really had any of these moments. Part of it probably has to do with the fact that I spend the majority of my time sweaty and gross at the gym. Not really a time to feel sexy. The other part is that I'm so busy, I don't really have time for many hot dates. That's certainly different, but I really think I need to continue to focus on myself so I will be ready when a decent man comes along! It's so important to love yourself first.

I'm ready to be able to look in the mirror and feel beautiful. And yes I know I'm beautiful on the inside and all that crap, but to feel physically beautiful...as a result of my hard work. It will be a special day...
