Runner's High

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I went for a run when I got home from work. The craziest thing happened today - I DID IT AGAIN!!! And I enjoyed it immensely. Many moons ago, when Brent and I were engaged, I got up every morning at 5:30 and ran. I don't remember ever being in better shape. With warmer weather and swimsuit season rapidly approaching, I've decided that its time to start heading back in that direction. So for now the goal is to run at least three nights a week after work. I really prefer running in the morning, but right now its still very dark out as early as I'd need to go so maybe as the days get longer I can make the switch. I'm also trying to decide if I want to do another session of boot camp. I did two sessions of Bodies By Cindy's Boot Camp last summer and was able to lose pretty much all of my baby weight that hung around after Emme was born. You can read a little more about it here. I really enjoyed it, but it is a commitment. Not just a commitment to come to the classes and give it your best, but a commitment to really watch what types of food you eat and how much you eat. It's not easy, but if you do it right you can see some major results. I've actually kept all of the weight off throughout the year and to tell you the truth I think I am almost more proud of that fact than I am of the fact that I lost the weight in the first place. We'll see if I can lose some more with my new running routine which has been in place for a whopping two days. Hey, you gotta start somewhere!! Besides, even if I don't shed tons of pounds its a least a good stress reliever. And who couldn't use one of those?
