I have not been sleeping well all week. I have not been to the gym since Friday morning. I am trying to get everything together here for our move. I am feeling the stress and I have not felt that in a long time. I'm sure if I actually got myself to the gym that I wouldn't feel stressed anymore.
I almost made it to the gym after work yesterday. However, the parking lot was absolutely packed and I just didn't feel like dealing with that many people so I went and got the car serviced, instead, then went back to my room.
I couldn't sleep last night (again) and I was thinking about my clothes--probably because they were right there in front of me--18" from the foot of the bed. My 20's (slacks) have a good inch or two of space in them so I thought that I would try on the 16's I had hanging in the closet. I got them on. Now, I think I may have pulled a muscle "sucking it in," but I got them on over my ass and got them buttoned and zipped. I seriously couldn't believe it. In fact, I may still be in shock. That effectively renewed my motivation and I am going to the gym tonight, no matter how packed it is. Three months ago I wouldn't have been able to even get them over my knees!
Despite the lack of intentional exercise, I have been eating well and I believe I have been staying within my calorie limits--maybe even slightly under.
Everything seems to be coming together quite nicely for the move. I got approval from the management company to get the refrigerator put in the house tomorrow. I just dropped off the application for my son's school and got the cash to pay for the fridge. My hubby scheduled the sheetrock repair people to come to the house to repair the holes I put in the walls for the drapes I hung. Our moving truck is reserved. Most of our house is boxed up. My car has fresh oil, rotated tires, and a full tank of gas. Are the planets and moons all coming into alignment this week? It feels like they ought to be. LOL.
Now, if I could just get a good nights sleep!

Goals are dreams with a deadline.
About Me
- Name: Cindy
- Location: Corinth, Texas, United States
In February of 2006 I re-joined the gym and started watching what I ate. I am guessing my highest weight tipped the scales at somewhere near 350 pounds near the end of 2005. This blog records my transformation from a morbidly obese woman into a distance runner. I plan on running my first marathon sometime in 2007, after having already completed one or two half marathons.
2007 Goals
- Reach My Healthy Weight
- Run 1,300 Miles
- Learn Spanish
- Add $6,000 To Savings
- Open & Fund Roth IRA
- Pay Off Credit Card
- Greatly Increase Muscle Mass
