Relief!

I went to the gym this morning in my new running shoes, new running shorts, and sporting my always-popular Ipod. I ran laps and stairs, spent 10 minutes on the Eliptical machine, did 100 incline bench situps, and a few tricep dips. And then...I nervously ventured toward The Scale.

For the record, I've never been one to fear The Scale. I always figure whatever it shows is my fault anyway. But after two weeks on vacation, and over two weeks since I've set eye on the gym, I was plain scared.

But relief! I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't gained any either! Woohoo! Sure, I've lost some muscle tone, but I can work on that quickly. Sweet relief. I'm not giving an inch, though. Its back to healthy eating and healthy living, 24-7.

I can do it!

where did you get your shoes? I'm getting new ones in a few weeks but I'm still not sure where to go. Mine are so bad right now....today was a bad jogging day. VERY bad. I totally wimped out and walked most of it. Better luck tomorrow.

I usually go to Big 5. I know I love Asics, so I just try on a couple different styles and find ones I like for not too much money. When the half-marathon training really kicks in, (January?), I'll probably hit up the Salt Lake Running Company. But I know that will be expensive.
