You know, I'm planning on running five miles this morning so why the dog felt the need to wake me up at 6 a.m. I'll have no idea.

Evil dog.

So 143.5 this week. There you go. There have been other milestones - the dress, for one - so just because we're stalling out (again) at this weight is fine. Since I saw my weight climb up to 147.5 last week during the pre-period meltdown, I'm just as happy to see a one-pound gain overall. I've kicked up the intensity of my workouts, and I'm switching things up, so perhaps we'll start seeing the numbers go down once again.

I'm going to be buying a few items of clothing this weekend. I can't take the baggy, droopy pants anymore. It's ridiculous and I look like a slob. I hate investing any money in clothes at this point, but surely I can do better than what I'm doing now!

This morning my sides are a little sore and achy from all of the Turbo Jamming from yesterday. So are my arms. Now to bring the dog back in and sleep for another hour before hitting the road to clock five miles before work. My route this morning will take me past Wrigley Field, and while I'm a Sox fan, it's still a neat treat to pass by.

UPDATE: Totally overslept and didn't get back up until 8:30 a.m., when my boyfriend sent me a text message. Which means I have a crapload of working out to do tonight when I get home, including the five-mile run and weights. And today is my rough day at work so I'm not sure a five-mile run and 45 minutes of weight lifting are going to be welcome treats. However, my boyfriend is coming over for dinner tonight around 8:30 and we're going to have fillets and asparagus and some sweet potato mash.

Those two things are probably good motivators to get home and get it all done. Have a great day!
