I finally started feeling better yesterday and I am almost back to my normal self today-FINALLY!!!!!

I started back at the gym the day after Thanksgiving and signed up for 5 of their 1/2 hour sessions of personal training just to get going in the right direction, again. My last one was last week and I signed up for 11 more 1 hour sessions. The first one of those was this morning and it felt great.

I had a hard time coming to terms with my 35 pound gain, but I have decided that it will be gone when my sessions are up. When I first start up on a diet, I lose a lot of weight the first month, or so. I am going to capitalize on the shock to my body and work hard to make sure those 35 pounds are history in 10 weeks. Not acceptable. It's kind of crazy that I can still get into my clothes, though.

I had to actually dust off my scale on Friday when I weighed in...that was embarassing. Since we ripped up almost all of the carpeting in the house, we have had massive dust issues. I don't know if it is new dust, dust that was stuck in the carpet/padding, or a combo but it is almost uncontrollable. This house has never had dust problems...prior to the tenants, anyway.

Lots to do today. Hoep everyone enjoys their weekends! :hugs:
