Woke up early this morning to get my run in; it was okay, could have been better.  I had Joe with me; he was riding his bike, so that was a big distraction; especially when he got a flat tire.  Tomorrows run is scheduled for 630AM, weather permitting.  I really hope the rain stops; I don’t want to fall further behind on my running plan.  If I do I may need to have them change the date of the half marathon J

Got lots done today, even cleaned up the front yard.  I was a nasty mess after that.  I took a long shower after that…I could barely move.  I can’t understand how I can do the workouts I do, but then when I pull weeds, cut back bushes, mow the lawn, etc. I can barely walk.  The back of my left leg is so tight I could barely sit down.

After my shower I sat at my vanity to do my hair and thin out those bushy things that sit above my eyes.  I looked in the mirror and for a second I sort didn’t recognize myself.  It was really weird.  I looked so different to me for some reason.  I went into a little panic.  I asked TJ if my face looked like it was sinking in.  I’ve seen people who have lost weight and some get an “old” look to them.  I was so afraid that was happening to me.  TJ reassured me it was not, he did say my face changed but it wasn’t a negative change…PHEW!!

Eating today went okay.  I “cheated” during one of my snack meals but I was able to get right back on track with my next meal.  My husband looked at me like I was crazy haha, but I have to say, I’m enjoying having the ability to have complete control of my eating, even if I cheat.  It was just under 2 months ago that when I cheated, I couldn’t stop…so relieved it’s not like that anymore J
