I've been slacking!

So several people have asked me to update my blog with a new journal entry and to be honest I haven't ran since the last time I posted, which is about 11 days ago... I know, I know! Bad Toni ;)

Well, I'm back on track for tomorrow. I won't give you any of the excuses about why I haven't ran. I just felt like slacking off this last weekend. Maybe I hurt my foot a little too but I'm just being a baby about it. I'll have an update for you this week for sure.

The one thing I do want to note though is that although I'm not running and I feel like I'm still eating right and eating regularly, I weighed in at 105 lbs this morning. I was kind of surprised. That's the least I've weighed since about 7 years ago. Now Grandma is getting worried but let's be clear here. I'm not a big girl. Never have been. I hit 100 pounds when I was a senior in high school. I know this because we had a party with a cake and the numbers "100" on the top. Good times! So really I'm not that far off from then.

That whole theory of when you exercise regularly, your body still metabolizes even when you're not exercising, must be true. I haven't done anything in almost two weeks and I weigh less than I did before. Woah! I'm thinking I should probably cross train though or I'm gonna get way too skinny and I don't want to look anorexic or anything. Guess that's what happens when you don't have an amazing chef cooking for you anymore, or dinners out with boyfriends... Ha! If being single means you lose weight, than I've just found the secret to nearly every woman's wish! Maybe I'll write a book... Ha!

Today I took Monty to the DP and back. Man, that first 10-15 minutes of running sucks. I'm so not ready to run, I'm tired after like 2 minutes and I'm stopping already. Today I looked down at my watch and it was 6:26 and I was like "What? I'm tired of running already." But finally once you get past that hump, it's almost euphoric after that. I feel bad that Monty is in his crate all day and when I get home I just want to cook dinner, crash on the couch and then go to bed. I haven't taken him to the dog park all week so this morning I thought I would just run with him. He loves it on the way there and pretty much pulls me the whole time. He runs like crazy at the DP so he must still have energy and then on the way back he goes he's pulling me, and now I'm tired, but as we get closer to home he's tired and is running behind me. I definitely can't take him on anything longer than 45 minutes.
