Last WI: 214.6 (several weeks ago)/At Home WI: 216.0 (ugh).

THURSDAY

Ok, so it's my normal WI day. And I'm GOING. I AM GOING. So that was for my benefit. I said that last week and bailed. But today I've brought WI clothes. I had a big breakfast, and I'm going to face the music. Like so many people I hate to WI when I think I'll see a gain. I know I'll see a gain now since it's been like 3 weeks, but it's time to recommit and the only way to do that is to jump back on the wagon. 100%. So here I go.

I did make it to the gym on Monday, but I haven't since. Boo. I only did 1.5 miles. I was struggling a bit because of asthma - haven't been on top of my medicine lately. I figured I'd start small and come back Tuesday and do a bit more. Well, best laid plans. I totally slacked Tuesday and yesterday. Booo. But, I can only look forward. I will run tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. That's the plan.

Other than that things are going ok. I'm excited about the new job and am making plans accordingly. Life at home is a little stressful. I'm not sure how much I've written about it, but Erik, my boyfriend, owns 2 houses right now and both are on the market. Well, as most people know the market is struggling a lot lately so he hasn't been able to sell either of them. It's made for some difficult conversations about finances, and our future. He's not willing to propose (understandably) until he's cash-flow positive. I sometimes feel like he's not doing enough to solve the problem, which in turn makes me feel like I'm not a priority since our future is on hold because of this problem. But we've been trying to work through it.

Well, Monday a couple came by that wanted to look at the house we're living in. They really liked it an are talking to Erik about a lease purchase. I don't know if it's going to work out or not, but if it does, we would be moving by the end of the month into the other house. Getting this house under a lease-purchase contract would be great for our future, he would feel comfortable proposing, but it doesn't solve the problem completely, as we still have another house, and the lease purchase could always fall through.

Today I got in touch with an acquaintance that is a financial planner that is willing to look over both our finances to see what we can do to work toward a life together. My salary will increase substantially with this new job and I just want to make sure we're doing the right thing as far as what to pay off - where to invest, etc. Fortunately Erik's willing to participate, so hopefully this will ease some of the tension.

Work is busy too - we have trials starting on Monday and right now I'm preparing to try two different child molestation cases. I had thought they would both plea, but it's not looking good. I've got to be ready for trial.

Anyway - busy busy. But I've got to find time to get back on the wagon health-wise. I can do it, I just have to commit!
