I ran!!! For the first time in over 8 years I was able to run again! I did it for 10 minutes on the TM at 3.7MPH--with my random incline, nonetheless. I know, no speed records getting broken here...but I did it. My motivation is all renewed now and I am SOOOOOOOOOOO happy.

Also, despite the train wreck of a week I thought I have been having in the food department, I managed to drop 2 lbs. My jaw almost hit the floor, seriously. I was expecting to hold steady or to even creep up an ounce or two. I guess I don't have as good a handle on this calorie-counting thing that I thought I had. However, I was listening to my body--except the sweets, that is.

My realtor sent me a new lease on the house in Dallas. I'm not sure what happened, but the terms were all screwed up, and there was no short-term lease premium like I had told them I would require for the 6-month lease. They didn't have ANY pets, THANK GOD, but if they want my house for 6 months, they will pay me a premium. Call it a keep-Cindy-sane premium, if you will.

So, I told my hubby that I am going to go to the gym every morning this next week (at 5AM) because I want to get my run back, and I want to get to my 8/12/06 goal by 6/30/06 which requires a 2.4 lb loss this next week. I am 7 ounces away from being under 290 lbs. Yaaahooo!

Off to sit in the yard I have been working hard on and to enjoy a glass of wine with the love of my life.
