and the 1st weigh-in since my self-imposed-hiatus-of-sorts ...

-4.4 lbs.

Yes! In a week! 4.4 gone.

It just feels so awesome to have regained my focus, not that it was ever lost entirely, I am just renewed and it is phenomenal.

My training for my IronGirl race has really kicked in ... I am amazed even after a handful of official swim training workouts, how much I have learned and bettered (is that a word?) my stroke. I have been tired, but just the right amount, I am sleeping great and waking with energy. My "Operation Sanity" has been a Divine time for me ... I'm just in a rockin' groove and so thrilled ... yes, I hugged myself already and gave myself a high-five.

4.4 ... Thank you Lord, for the energy to train daily, for food that is delicious, for family and friends that are supportive ... I can do all things through You, all things ... all things.

I have a great Valentine's Day planned ... I am getting a pedicure, going back to the Screamin' Peach for my 2nd round, having a great lunch with friends at The Rio, which has the best salsa I've found in the state of Colorado and maybe even catching a chick flick ... I'll make a great dinner for my family and all day just feel bathed in love ... bathed, isn't that a great word?

I am bathed in love, is there anything better? (maybe losing 4.4 in a week ...)
