10 down, more to go

Exciting news, not even sure how, I've been monitoring my diet but not really working as hard as I should  on it, however, I've somehow lost 10 lbs. I needed to. A few weeks ago, I realized I had gained 30 lbs back just like a snap of the fingers. It happens. I'm like Oprah. up and down, never consistent. So it's back on the down slope and it's cool I've already lost 10 without really working so hard for it. I feel like the main reason is stress and being so busy. I've had some minor things that have been stressing me out. For example, I will be having a yard sale this weekend. If you know me, you know I'm very claustrophobic. So too many unused items/clothing in my house will drive me up the wall. Will, however, is the complete opposite. To him, everything has sentimental value. Not me, screw it, sell it, donate it or just trash it. I'm excited to get rid of unwanted  items. Hoping to make some new running shoe money as well. I feel like getting things ready for this yard sale has been my workout each night. There is a lot of up & down in the attic, lifting and god awful sweating. Once I finish each night I am simply exhausted, too exhausted to cook, too exhausted to eat or even have a glass of wine. So thanks stress, thanks for the weight loss. Not really the way I had planned it, but I'll take it. With that said, I may not be running the Chicago Marathon anymore, it's been a very busy summer, I've had some unexpected expenses come up, and some people who never pay me back that I've had to deal with, it's not fun, but it's life. I'm sure I'll find another race to run, and I hope that someday I'll get the opportunity to run it again. Too much on my plate right now though!
