Not that I am complaining, because...

being all in love and stuff has been great! There is just one small, tiny problem...well a little more than a tiny problem (which you would totally understand if you could see me in this dress today). The problem is that while J has managed to lose quite a bit of weight since we have started dating, I am gaining A LOT very quickly. Due to this minor crisis that could become one of epic proportions I have decided it is time to start buckling down and committing to my workout regimen, becoming more active in general, and watching my diet (it could really use an overhaul, since I seem to have forgotten what fruits, veggies, whole wheat and EVOO are, instead subsisting on fast food, pizza - hold the veggies, fatty pastas, mexican food, cheese and let's not forget copious amounts of CHOCOLATE)!

In pursuit of the lofty goal of at least stopping my very quick ascent to 200 lbs, and maybe actually losing at least the 6 lbs or so I have gained in the past few weeks I decided it's time to get off my ever-widening tail and start running and racing again!

My (and by "my" I mean our, because there is no way MC is getting out of doing this with me - I do not do self-inflicted pain and torture alone)first race is a 5 mile trail run on March 28, 2009!!!!! I am quite excited to get back to racing and eventually I will be excited to be running again (you know, when I actually start running again)!

I am going to try to sneak in a late night run tonight, and maybe (if the weather cooperates) get at least a walk in tomorrow with J so that I can get a little cardio! My goal will be to work out at least 5-7 days a week, up my strength training to at least 3 days a week and start running again! I am also going to work on my "diet overhaul" plan this weekend, but in reality I probably won't start that until after Valentines Weekend, oh, and speaking of Valentine's I hope everyone has a great one!
