When 2004 first started I had just started my new life of dating, getting to know myself, and trying not to feel lonely now that I was by myself. Well I wasn't alone for very long and I met my wonderful Z who I can not be separated from for long periods of time or I feel lost. He truly completes me. He makes me feel sexy, beautiful, and most importantly safe. He is home to me. Where ever he is, if I'm with him then I feel I'm at home. I may get riled about having to bounce between his place and mine, but over all I've never felt more at home. I'm not saying things are picture perfect, but they are pretty close if I do say so myself. I still have issues with my self image and am still working on improving myself everyday, but over all we're doing great. I can only hope that continues in the New Year. I am just as excited for the things to come this up coming year. New changes in my weight, life, love, maybe even job. Who knows? I wide open. I have much to be grateful for. I am truly blessed. Next year I hope to get a few goals tackled but I mostly just want to be happy and remember all the wonderful stuff in my life. Z and I might just ring in the New Year by cooking shrimp & chicken Thai wraps drinking a bottle of wine or so. We'll see. I'm not really feeling up to fighting crowds or dealing with traffic. Monday we might go skiing/snowboarding so looking forward to that. I hope to also get a few more days of working out in. I'm digging the sweaty endorphins, but my left arch is still giving me sharp pains when I step on it just right, so maybe no running. We'll see...

Monday ran 6 miles on treadmill

Tuesday rest day

Wednesday 60 min elliptical & 15 min on stair mill. (sweaty!)
