Since Friday the 16th I�ve documented every point that entered these lips. Boy I haven�t done that in a looonnng time. I�d do a couple of days and then fall off. I�m going to keep my weigh in day on Friday morning like I did in the past, but I forgot to weigh myself last Friday morning, so I did it in the evening after eating breakfast, lunch and running 8 miles. I weighed in at 152. That is 10 lbs from my lowest weight of 142 lbs. I want to get back there. I�m seeing someone seriously now, meaning exclusively. We already knew each other for about 3 � years, so things have been really comfortable and moved fairly quickly, but we�re both fine with it. We�ve already met each others parents and things have gone well in both camps. So far we�re off to a good start. I never would have guessed my life would have taken on these major changes a couple years back, but I know that they were for the best and I am feeling truly cherished, appreciated, and spoiled by someone other than my mother for the first time in my life. Who knows where things will lead, but we�re both in it for the long haul. Wish me luck. I�m truly happy.

I�m running again no matter what the physical therapist says. My legs, thighs, and butt have gotten a bit bigger and I want to nip that in the bud right now. My jeans are a bit snug in the legs and stuff so I�m back to running and no lifting weights on my legs at all anymore � just like in the past. I may still do weights on my arms though� I went and got some $154 Nike�s yesterday with the full shock support and ran 6 miles to test them out last night. They felt great! Don�t get me wrong, I still had pain in my ankles and feet, but I feel I�m destined to have them for the rest of my life, so might as well make the best of it, right? I�ve felt pent up a bit with not being able to run, so the last 8 and 6 miler felt GRREEEAAATT!@ I�m running again tonight after my progress report from the PT. Unless he has something earth shattering to say about my defective feet and ankles (most likely caused at birth) then I�m going to stop pt and just continue with the exercises he gave me and make sure I have good shoes and keep running, because it makes me happy and leans me out like nothing else can do.

The BF and I are planning on going to Semiahmoo Resort at the end of May so I want to get the extra poundage off by then. He would like me to wear a bikini and a cocktail dress and I want to look fabulous, so I�m going back to doing the things that made me successful at loosing 56 lbs in the past.

One day at a time right? *wink*
