180!

I only have the energy to be quick. I’m typing from a horizontal position with one hand. I’m so tired after a very busy but very good week. I got right back on the workout bandwagon and swam and ran my butt off. I’m still recuperating.

I am finally seeing 180, wheh-hew, down a pound. That felt like it took forever, although, I haven’t been too worried because I’m now able to squeeze into size 12s. I’m squeezin’ but I can pull it off with a long enough, somewhat loose shirt.

Incorporating this vigorous workout schedule has been really difficult because I have no time to spare now. I am constantly running around all week. At first I thought I would not be able to get used to it and that I had no time for myself. But then I realized that the workouts ARE time for myself. And most likely the predominant activity I’d be doing with that time would be watching TV and eating. I really enjoy the time I spend with my new friends and the effect it’s having on my body (and my mental state). Mentally I’ve been doing fantastic.

I do feel like I’m going through a change and that it’s significant. I’m really trying to adjust to a different way of life and think that I will get better at all of it. Working my butt off at my current career, being a better mom, a better daughter, sibling, and friend, bettering myself physically and mentally, and working on my own business. Previously I used to think that I was too fragile to take on too much. Now I’m trying to build up my endurance in all these areas and take on more than I ever have while still being good at them all.

The thought makes me tired, good night.
