A new day...

Seriously, the ski pants not fitting was the last straw. We got home from CO last night and I immediately went to Target to buy a scale (my 1st one ever) and a notebook to use as a food diary. I was not happy with the numbers I saw on the scale when I weighed myself, but I have to remind myself that I've been this weight before and was successful in losing it. I know what I have to do in order to lose the weight, but my concern is that I don't know how to do that with K - meaning, preparing and eating dinner with K is something that I didn't have to deal with before, as well as wanting to spend time with K in the evening rather than going to the gym for hours by myself.

Day 1 is off to a good start (aren't they all usually, though?). I've never used a food journal before, but I definitely see how it can be useful (as long as I don't go making it a challenge to eat fewer calories than the day before because that could end up out of control). Also, K joined my gym tonight, and we consolidated our membership into a "couple" using his corporate discount through work so it ends up being a pretty good deal for both of us. I had a good workout at the gym - weights + 30 minutes of Stairmaster.

I want my strong runner girl legs back...
And, to be able to wear those running shorts again!
