Possibly My Greatest NSV Yet!!!

I was going to only post this on my page, but it is kind of lengthy so I just decided to do the boards...

I have been admittedly lax this summer with my diet. In a still newish relationship and I have been cooking and baking and going out to dinner, so although I have pretty much maintained my weightloss (it fluctuates within 10lbs depending on the time of month, etc)- i have been feeling REALLY guilty about falling back into old habits and I haven't been working out AT ALL.

I decided I had to get back on track and this week I have been back to my low-cal/low-fat diet and cut out the junk food and I wanted to get back to working out. I tried a workout tape for about 3 days, but I have a new kitten that is in her practicing hunting prey stage and I don't have central air, so that was a bust.

so yesterday, i dragged my behind back to the gym! AND i added in weight training (which I haven't done in years, i hate it, i really do)- but that's not the best part. today i had to run into kmart which is in the same plaza as my gym and when i came out i was thinking "screw the gym- no one will know you didn't go, it's only one day, who cares" and i sat in my car for about 10 mins deliberating. and i really was not going to go. but then i decided to. i convinced myself that i would just do cardio and leave.

but not only did i do cardio, i did my weight training as well!!! (today was arms/back/abs) and even better- i convinced myself i did not need to stop for a bottle of wine on the way home either! so i am SUPER proud of myself right now. self-control is usually not my strong suit, and especially because i have not had any willpower this summer!

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sorry that was really long/rambling, but I am super proud of myself)

also- for anyone that is interested- my bf found a four week old kitten under a dumpster at work about a month ago. i protested quite a bit that i absolutely did not want a cat............. and she now lives with me. her name is Maggie. she is really sweet and much to my surprise, it has been really good for my grieving process to have another pet. she is NOT a replacement for Mayer, but i know how important it was to take him in, so now I have a kitten.

so this is Maggie Sue:
