Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

During Christmas time, everyone gets a sweet feeling of melancholy and happiness. Today, I felt that feeling after having a fantastic workout! I have FINALLY reached the point where working out is not a dreaded, hated chore. For the past few weeks, everyone has noticed that I return from the gym with a frown and sad demeanor. Well, not today! I went to the gym and did the elliptical machine for 43 minutes which was 3.1 miles! Yes, i know that is pretty slow, but I made it after all. I didn't even pass out! Yeah! As I was walking back to my building, I was in such a good mood that I waved to a friend that was across the parking lot! Believe me, that is a drastic change than how I have felt the last few weeks.
I specifically did 3.1 miles because Corporate Run is coming up in April and I want to be able to cross the finish line. No, I do not intend of running it all, but I wanted to prove to myself that I can do that distance. And I did!
I weighed myself this morning and I have lost another pound. Currently holding in at 255.8. Yes, I know, I am not supposed to weigh myself everyday, but I cannot help it. My scale and I have a secret love affair. Some days I curse its existence, other days, I want to kneel and kiss it. Knowing the psycho in me, I would not be able to see the scale everyday and not weigh myself. (I even weigh myself after I get back home; I just add a couple of pounds for my clothes) Its all psycho, I know, I know.
I started taking some diet pills called Zantrec-3 and they are doing me well. For starters, it suppresses that appetite. And secondly, it gives energy (its loaded with caffeine). My friend Carol gave me her HydroxyCut to try, and lets just say that the new name for those pills should be "pills a la cocaine"! I have so much energy, I don't know what to do with myself.
