I went to New Mexico the past few days and got back Monday night. While I didn't eat the way I should have I DID make to the hotel gym twice and worked out a regular routine.

I bought some new running shoes.....Nike Pegasus Zoom 33. I'm really happy with them and they have great support so my legs and feet don't hurt so much. But the restless legs are still a huge issue. I'm not sleeping so great at night and I'm tired.

So i put on a denim skirt today that I haven't worn in two years...and it TOTALLY FITS. It's not to tight or anything. My stomach doesn't poke out in it and I actually look ok in it. Im doing a little happy dance. Just one more thing that makes all this hard work worth it.

I ran a C25K block yesterday on the treadmill and then walked 2.2 miles outside yesterday. IT was freaking HOT. Even at 6 pm. we made it home but i was practically a puddle by the time I got back, I took an ice cold shower and I could still feel the heat coming off of the top of my head when I washed my hair. I stayed in for a good 20 minutes cooling off. It was the BEST shower I ever took.

This is working.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...
