Yay! Someone put 2 plates full of wafer cookies in the kitchen. I haven't had one of those in forever. I was about to pick one up and I thought to myself: Why are you about to eat this? You are not hungry. In fact, you may have had too much breakfast. All that sugar and refined carbs will screw your system up! So, I got my jug full of water and left. Yay for me!

This really is getting easier to do as time goes by. Now, if I can only do that to my food weakness: cake! I will do it tonight. Besides, there is only enough cake left for two pieces. Son and hubby can have it.

We had a great workout yesterday. I nudged up the pace on the treadmill to 3.3 mph for 40 minutes of my 50. On Thursday, I will do 3.3 for all 50 minutes. Then, on Saturday, I will start doing short-ish intervals at 3.4 mph. Then, in two weeks, my intervals should be up to 3.5 mph, while sustaining 3.4. My goal is to re-introduce jogging intervals after I drop below 300 lbs. May 1, 2006 is my goal to start my jogging back up. I'm afraid if I start it too soon, it will be too much impact on my joints with the extra weight. Also, by May 1, we will have been working out consistently for three months. I should have quite a bit of my strength back after that time and have a lower chance of injuring myself. I should also get to the doctor and have my tendonitis seriously looked at and healed before then.

I talked to Scott about the house situation. Although he doesn't really want to move anymore, he is open to the possibility of not buying this museum. I told him that we would hire it out, so it won't bee too much work. He is also concerned that I will not have enough time to fix up a house with the way I have been going to the gym. I told him that by the time we get the house, I will have lost most of my weight and I can use my Sunday's to work on the house rather than go to the gym. He knows that I want a fixer-upper. We looked at a few before we leased this place. (We have a bit of role-reversal goin' on in our house. I am the handy, financially adept one and he is the domestically blessed, artsy one.)

So, it looks like things will be okay in the house department. We have about 11 months left on our lease. We will begin looking in about 9 months, around December. That is something to look forward to.

Update: My am I bored! I truly believe that as of 2:51pm CT that I have read EVERYONE's blog that wrote today, as well as all the forums, as well as all the articles of at least some interest on CK. Boss blew me off again today. I have absolutely no emotional response to that whatsoever. I am making more progress in the seperating my sense of self from the career with every passing day.

And I thought public accounting was boring? Maybe I should re-think that. At least I was treated like I had a brain and had a LOT of work to do. I wasn't overhead, I was generating revenue for the firm and the clients were great to work with. Oh well. Memories...

I have my health to focus on right now. In fact, I think I am going to call the doctor right now and get an appointment to get the tendonitis looked at.
