I'm baaaaaaaack!

I can't believe how excited I am to get back to normal life. I can't believe how excited I am to start running again! holy crap. I've been out of the game for less than 6 days and it felt like torture. All I could think about were my goals and how I'm down and out a week in my C25k training and ahhhh! It's funny because in the process I lost about 10 lbs (in 4 days ick), and I was like "woohoo, lowest I've been in awhile," but my main concerns was--am I losing muscle? Will I be too weak to run? Damnit I have to eat! My mindset has definitely changed and it's good to know that I'm thinking like a healthy person. Anyway--awesome news--yesterday, a parent came up to me and said "you're losing weight right? I can tell. How are you doing it?"  It was soooooo encouraging to have someone notice and compliment me on it. Especially someone who didn't really know if I was doing it, they just noticed that I looked slimmer. And! When I was in the bathroom at work (they have a long mirror), I noticed that my thighs aren't looking so curvy around the tops anymore. You know, when you turn to the side and do a profile shot, and the tops of your thighs curve out and then come back in? Mine are starting to go more straight down! Ok, that might not have made sense but it did to me :)  And a side note--I've been doing a lot of reading on Sparkpeople...it's been so inspiring and encouraging. I actually really love being a part of the community...and actually engaging with people this time around. Life is good! Anyway, back to the grind. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up where I left off with my week 2 day 2 training. Wish me luck!
