it's good to feel good again!

This morning I went on a FABULOUS run with my sister Cheryl and ended up at the park so the kids could play. I'm very encouraged that after a month with only a few runs it wasn't painful (except the uphill sprints) and was able to keep up a conversation without losing my breath! Yay!

I've also lost five pounds after being sick in March with strep and a ruptured eardrum (OUCH!). I think my stomach shrunk from having no appetite... which has helped me keep my portion sizes smaller and reduce snacking big time! It's amazing to not feel hungry or the need to constantly eat something. So much easier than fighting the cravings. Cravings are evil.

After a five day road trip to Arizona and the Grand Canyon, I'm finally back in the exercise groove! I'm excited to increase my endurace with running and develop more muscle with Jon's P90X DVD's. I want to try the yoga one next. Tomorrow.

How are *you* doing with

your fitness goals??
