Forgive me Blog World...

I haven't posted in a very long time.  I absolutly loved blogging and it brought such a peace about me.  I am not quite sure why I stopped.

The summer drains me.  It is WAY too hot in North Texas to do any sort of training outside.  So, I stopped completely.  My booty and thighs show it!  Funny how running really does tone certain parts of my body.  I've stayed strong on my diet that I have almost just considered it a life style change.  I engage in french fries and chocolate candy bars now and then but I really know and understand my limits.  I've been researching a whole new concept in dieting, errr lifestyle change, that I'd like to implement after Christmas is over.  I can't give up mashed potatoes completely yet!!  But I'm leaning towards it.  More on all that later.

I've started back to running.  My life is so chaotic right now that I only can run on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.  It's the way it is.  I hate that, but I just can't change it right now.  Well, unless I wake up at 5:00am.. but come on, that will not happen.  I've been doing some crazy exercise called a BURPEE that the BFF is OBSESSED with.  How on earth the BFF talked me into this is beyond me.  They are INSANE!!  My girly parts HATE me when I do them.  And I haven't really pushed myself to do more than what my mind tells me I can do.  But, I can feel them the next day as I go about my daily business.  My upper body strength is less and less by the millisecond.  I've been researching what to do about all of that.  I think I've come up with a soltion...  More on all of that later.

The biggest thing is I really feel like mentally I need to start blogging again.  I really am in this fitness and lifestyle change on my own.  No one around me, besides said BFF, really supports me.  They all think I'm totally fine the way I am.  I really don't think it's okay to live such a crappy life.  So, I go at it alone the best way I can to fit my needs and the needs of the non supportive people around me.  Long sad sappy girly ridiculous story short, I'm in this for the long haul and I need some sort of mental outlet to get this out...  (the BFF has 10 other hats to wear).

So, look for more blogs starting tomorrow.  I have a bazillion pictures and things to post about.

An almost happy.....  ~Melissa
