My favorite season is Fall. No question. When I was little, I couldn't wait until September rolled around, partly because my birthday is in September and partly (albeit the smaller part) was because school was starting. I still love September because of my birthday and now because it's Kaitlyn's birthday month, too. I associate Fall with a new start. A new year. A new grade. I think that's why I always feel extra motivated right around now and especially into the fall. I feel more organized, more excited, and just more alive. I guess it's all of those years of going back to school that have trained my brain to get re-energized. I already feel like I have a better outlook on things like my weight loss project, work, and my quest to run a 5k on Thanksgiving.
I started running. I suck at it. Royally suck. BUT, I am in the beginning stages of....liking it. Huh? How did that happen? I only run in short, painful intervals but they are getting progressively easier. Even though these spurts are short and painful, I feel like I am getting so much out of it. Sweet. :)
My neighborhood has a beautiful lake with a brand new paved pathway that goes all of the way around the lake--about 1.38 miles. I am going to take my running to the next level--off of a treadmill. I am psyched.
Also, I am down 5.4lbs! Woot! Got my 5lb sticker at WW. Yay, me. This isn't that big of a deal, really. I've reached this milestone a bunch of times. Still, it's in the right direction.
Dare I say it, I think something is starting to click...

I came across your blog via Matt's blog.
Some unasked for advice: Keep running! It will get easier, I promise. If my lazy slacker I'll use any excuse to not exercise can do it, you can too!!!!
Hey Suzi! Congrats...5 lbs is a great start and I know how hard it is to lose weight. Keep up the motivation. Wish you were here so that we can work on weight loss together. Love ya!
