Day 93

My run yesterday felt absolutely amazing!  It was so nice outside and despite my legs being sore from the day before, my endurance is way up.  I ran 4.5 miles and never felt tired...this is definitely progress...even though I haven't weighed myself since before going out of town I know with %100 certainty that I am getting into better shape.  Something else that was amazing that I forgot to mention....I put on some boots last week that I hadn't worn since October...when I used to wear them I could barely get them zipped up over my calfs and I hated this..but when I put them on the other day there was at least and inch and a half gap on each one...yay no more fat calfs...well, I'm working on it anyway and that's definitely progress.  My husband has inspired me yet again..I am thinking of doing a competition diet....No, I AM NOT COMPETING and WILL NOT be competing in a bikini fitness competition...ever....but, I am thinking of trying one of their super strict diets...it will be for like 8- 9 weeks of torture but I want to see how great I can get my body to look for this summer.  We will see...I have to do some research before I commit to this.  Have a great day everyone!
