Haven't updated in a long time.

I stopped doing the P90X routines. I was enjoying them but kept finding other things to do at home. I got a great job that I love and it just happens to be right next to the YMCA, so I joined last week. I'm really glad I did. I can't drive home without passing the Y, I can't look out the windows without seeing the Y, and I love going in there. I get to be social, I get encouragement from the trainers as well as everyone else working out, plus it's just more fun to be around people. One of my favorite things to do is run on the elliptical and I love looking over and seeing the skinny girl next to me hasn't run half of what I have and is completely out of breath. Or racing the person next to me by glancing over and looking at their screen then upping my incline or speed to beat theirs.

I also decided to try a vegetarian diet for one week. I've really been enjoying it. I am more regular with my business and I have a lot more energy. I have to go to the grocery store more frequently so my food doesn't go bad, but it's worth it. I read in an article recently that if food can decompose, it's good for you--if it can't, don't put it in your body. I've cut out a lot of processed foods over the course of this year and I'm loving that. I don't feel tired after I eat, I feel energized.

Even if I don't manage to run my entire race in December, I'm definitely glad I've stuck with this New Year's Resolution. But not to worry, I'm going to finish that race.
