I am quite convinced that this whole jogging thing has brought on some good karma in my life. In the short time I have been trying it out, I have lost like 13 pounds, my body is definitely showing signs of improvement, a co-worker approached me about selling our house (after it was off the market and I had given up hope) and after last night it looks like the house was sold!
...Maybe it is the diamond that is bringing on good karma, cause really the proposal and accompanying diamond is what brought on the jogging, which is what, I feel, has maybe resulted in good karma! Hmmm...... this diamond is AWESOME! Anyhow....
So tonight on the jogging front (yes, I will talk about the potential house sale) I got on the treadmill, and after my horrible jog last time I thought, it is better not to know how bad I am feeling in what short amount of time, so this time I threw my sweat towel (I already told you I don't like sweat) over the counters and I just started jogging and when I pulled the towel off, guess what!? I had already ran 5k! And at that point it wasn't really that I was fatigued, I was just so curious to find out how far I had run that I couldn't stand it anymore (kinda like Christmas time! I would unwrap presents and re wrap them just so I would know, yes it ruins the surprise but it never dampened my Christmas Spirit!) Anyhow..... I kept going (watching Y & R again), and I made it to my normal 6k (normal being the last 2 times) and I looked at my chart (the chart I have that converts miles to kilometers, because my treadmill measures in miles and I want to say in kilometers because the number always sounds bigger and more impressive!) and I figured, hey, today I am going to push myself to run another 1/2k ... and I DID. So today I ran 6.5k at a speed of 5.2, incline of 4! I am ON FIRE!
But I started this whole jogging thing to keep my mind of the house stuff and now, just as I was getting into the jogging thing........ my first addiction has come back baby!
So, it looks like we may have sold the house! After the house came off the market I had one of the professors I work with approach me to see if I was interested in selling, he and his wife love the location and the size of the house and wanted to take a look at it, I said sure (I mean really, nothing to lose) and after a few visits, them bringing their kids, we sat down last night and discussed details....... their house has sold so they are definitely ideal and now all that is left is them meeting with their lawyer, banker and inspector and we are DONE and looking for a new place! I cannot wait, and I will update when I hear anything, I promise.
So many exciting things happening, I can hardly stand it! Oh AND biggest loser is on tonight, which is my favorite show - this is such a great day!
xo,
