shrinking

Down to 155.6 this morning.  BMI 27.6, so close to a "healthy" BMI.  Things have changed so much since the last day of June. 

Once upon a time I used to be a runner, even ran a marathon (big mistake).  As the weight piled on running got harder and harder so I eventually just quit.  I have been running a little; between injuries it seems, lately and decided I would join my running friends and do the 5K that is held in conjunction with a marathon here in town.  I some how rationalized that if I could do a 5K I could enlist a few friends and do a leg of the marathon relay.  So instead of 3.2 miles I am going to be running 5.  This could be interesting since I have only kind of ran in the last year or so.  I hope I don't let everyone on my team down.  I seriously got to get off my a$$ and hit the trail.

I made a decision the other day about my gym and the trainer that I now hate.  I took my geriatric dog in for acupuncture and talked to his vet for awhile.  She told me I really needed to find a gym with a pool so when/if I do get injured I am not just out.  I have maybe 6 sessions left with the trainer but have been out of contract for a long time.  I have been looking around to see what I can find.  I am going to call the old gym today and tell them that I want out of my contract.  There are several places to choose from, but I think I will probably join Gold's.  It is newer, has a pool and a cardio theater, and isn't too far from my house.  Trainer is going to be pissed but I am so over him.  Not to mention I need to concentrate on running until Thanksgiving.

Better get to work I guess.  I am having my allergies retested next week so I am off all my allergy meds and I feel like crap.  I also feel like my body is detoxing from the meds, I am just in a fog.
