The Tides Are Changing

So this week started out a little slow with continued stress from the house hunting. But, I decided to make changes in my life and got a new haircut, updated my highlights, and went grocery shopping for better foods (while throwing out the overtly BAD foods). I also rejoined the University Club gym which I had canceled in order to save more money for the house. My agreement with myself was that the gym is $40 a month which comes out to about $2 a day (since the gym is only open on weekdays). So, for every day I don't go to the gym, I have to hand over $2 out of my pocket for the house. Then, I got sick and was obviously unsuccessfull with the workouts untill...

Monday morning (even with the time change), I woke up at 5:30am with Steve. He gets up at this time every weekday to head off to work. I hopped out of bed (which is impressive because I am SO not a morning person), packed my work clothes and lunch, and headed to the gym. By the time I actually get packed, get awake enough to drive, and commute to the gym (conviently located accross the street from my parking garage AND my office) it's usually 6:20am. But, I put in a solid hour and half before showering and heading to the office. It felt GREAT!!

Today, I did the same thing even though I had stayed up till midnight working on homework (yeah, I'm also finishing up my second masters in the midst of all this chaos). I was especially proud of myself this morning for getting out of bed and going because I was really tired. As I type now, I can feel my body really dragging, but I'm proud of myself and that pride will keep me awake all day!

So, I'm happy to report an weight loss this week for the first time since the beginning weeks in January.
