Thanks y'all for the support. I really appreciate it!!

Roman Sunburn... how do you go about starting to train for 5Ks? This has always interested me. Yes the cold is hard to get out in and is major deterrent; leaving the nice, snuggly, warm house is assaulting especially when struggling to get out the door in the first place. Lungs object to the cold air.

DoggieDo....I will start looking at interviewing in December. Dad has his brain surgery in a week in a half and then recovery to deal with, which would not be fair to an employer to work around besides my school schedule; so my last final exam is Dec 24th. I am going to start looking for a job when classes end and to start work hopefully in the new year; in the Spring I will only have one class left to graduate with my Bachelor's, which will be easy to work around. So that gives me the time to get things together, and with this new plan to get in better shape by the end of Dec for the interviewing, which will happen no matter the shape I am in. I am hoping that I can save some money by not having to get a whole new business wardrobe as suits are so expensive; more importantly, I am tired of my knees and my back hurting, the weight needs to come off.

Best wishes y'all in your fitness and health goals. Feel free to use this to thread to help in whatever way for notes on progress/set backs, feedback, or whatever, that's what it is for. I know making changes and keeping going is not always easy but rewarding. Hang in there and stay warm!

Migraine is still here today... think it is stress related too. Laying low.
Goal: just getting in the two long walks today.

PS. I have a Blackmouth Cur (3 y.o.) and an Australian Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix (2 y.o.); both from the shelter.

P.S.S. Tomorrow is the weigh in. Da-Da-Da-Dun
