So how is my running outside you ask? Hmmm - not so good. After attempting to run outside last week - my asthma flared up so bad - with continuous pain in my lungs - so I have come to the very sad conclusion that running outside is just something I cannot do. I physically just can't do it - at least not in the cold. So - I'm letting go of this goal. Letting go...with lots of sadness...but nevertheless just letting go.
Instead - I decided to go back to my roots from 7 years ago. Yup - a blast to the past. Yes - I decided to start up HOT yoga again. I went this past Saturday I said the following: "Oh. My. Goodness. THIS is why I haven't done it in 6 years....because I want to DIE!" LOL. It was an awesome work out - I have never seen my knees sweat before hot yoga - but it happened again - and it was 90 minutes of heeeat! But I did it. And I am doing it again this Wednesday - and then again on Friday and Saturday. Wish me luck. I have bought an unlimited monthly pass - so I have no choice but to go. On the days I don't do hot yoga -I will be hitting my elliptical.
So quick update on my weight. Laura - I'm about to make you feel MUCH better. I am up to 149 lbs. Yes. It's true. I have gained 11 lbs back from last year. It's official. NOTHING IN MY CLOSET FITS. LADIES. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. Everything I bought this past May - yeah. Doesn't fit. Nothing. So I am 5'3 with 149 lbs on me and back up to a size 8 - border lining small/medium - and yeah. Feeling a little - ummm - not so good about myself. Lol. Actually - I wish I felt worse - then I wouldn't have eaten that puff pastry I baked yesterday. Nevertheless - I lose weight in the winter and gain weight in the summer - so I am looking forward to hibernating at hot yoga and on my elliptical this winter and hopefully melting this weight off.
I have been loving CUCUMBERS lately ladies - it's so delicious with some sweet chili sauce. Yum.
Hope you're all doing great.

Hang in there E! That's why we're all here. I hit rock bottom a couple weeks ago, and that proved to be my turning point. Sadie quit nursing, for all practical reasons, and my clothes started to shrink! WTHeck? LOL! So, I've definitely BEEN THERE! You're right, it's fall and winter now, you're going to be on fire!
