baby, it's fucking cold outside!

Ok, so today is the first day of my (new) lifelong fitness journey. And I'm already sore!

Met with my new trainer Michelle and I am excited about the good things to come. Was nervous since it's been such a long time since I exercised seriously and woke up early (for me) to take the dogs out before I headed off. It was so cold! Is it too late to get a pair of fingerless gloves so that these earlier expeditions don't leave my digits resembling fish sticks?

Yesterday was a great day in that I accomplished a lot and felt an internal change happen.
I went to the WW and weighed in, happy that for the first holiday season maybe ever I not only didn't gain weight, but I lost a pound or two. It's very empowering that I did it and did it by making healthy choices, even though I did give in to a few sinful ones, too.

For the first time I heard myself say that I am glad I didn't make the job move sooner and I meant it. I am happy with my 8 years I put in at mac and I'm glad I didn't do it sooner - I had a good last year with them and was able to do a lot in that year, both professionally and in my personal life. That said, still happy to have the internal buzz out of my head!

In other news, I had lunch with mom, got a new journal, got some new AA shirts, signed up for said trainer and had a haircut. Feels good!
