Happy Hump Day!!

Made it up again today by 4:45! Ran 3.5 m.... did some lunges and squats in the driveway....

I was tempted to hop up on the scale this morning but I want my official 're-start' weigh in to be on Friday... and even though I didn't trash the weekend eating, I didn't count any calories so I don't want to prematurely get all depressed

I don't even want to admit to Matty (apparently I am about to... ) that I need to lose 20 pounds to get back to the lithe beauty that I was up until the point that I started dating him... damn 'happy fat'

I ordered Matty's B-Day gift on Oct 5th, almost an entire month before but I'm still not sure that it will be here in time. That's kind of crappy. I may just have to tell him about it on Nov 1st. Hmpf. It's so cool and I am so excited and it's KILLING me to keep it a secret!!

It's going to be rainy all day ...I have plans to run with a group tonight but I don't think it will pan out with the impending storms.... I have several piles of ironing to do regardless

I talked to my Dad this morning who found some pretty good flights out of Dayton to my cousin's wedding in Jan. Dayton is another hour of driving to the airport but it would save $300.00 altogether... Something to consider....

My legs are so sore from doing lunges with weights on Monday! ACK! I guess that is why I did them again today... Note to self: If you hadn't slacked so much with your workouts the last 2 weeks, this wouldn't have happened!!

I am meeting Em tomorrow to see 'Last Kiss' I'm not always the biggest theater fan... I'd rather watch a rental so I can stop it at any time... but it will be good to see Em. It's a girlie movie so Matty wouldn't want to go... From the previews I think I better pack some kleenex!

Matty mowed Gene's lawn and did all the garden clean-up last night! I was at Study and then tanned... He got so much done! Matty is the bestest hubby ever! Seriously, if something needs done, he just does it! I am constantly amazed. It is more than wonderful to have him home and I am so anxious to have some time together at the farm soon...

I'll try to get back to this today... Rebekah

837.5 miles ran in 2006!... 162.5 to go!
**** 1:15pm** so it has stopped raining and cooled off and I feel pretty good about running tonight! Maybe it will happen after all. Good thing I washed the only shorts that don't make my ass look like a huge mistake this morning...
I will have to leave right at 5 to get home and change and get down to the trail by the river in time to meet up with the group.

Did I mention how great it feels not to stuff myself with too much food?? I love that almost 'fit' feeling after several days of not over-eating!!

*** 3:30pm** It's raining again but not really storming so the 6 miler is prolly still 'on' tonight.... Hope I can get through it after work. I can run forever in the morning but by the evening I am useless.. Just ask Matty LOL

I really want to know where this trail is that they always talk about though... I think they are all going out to Ciao's afterward but I plan on coming home... showering... ironing for an hour or so and crawling into bed with my beloved
