progress

so i've been running for a little over a month as part of my half marathon training. also have been adding in 5 personal training sessions which were included when i signed up with 24 again. and also adding in the 1-2 times a week of spinning class. i'm finally noticing a difference after an initial few weeks of gaining weight as i was building up more muscle mass. i am now 9 pounds lighter than when i started. yay! i can also see my abs finally show through the flab. i've always done tons of abs excercises but didn't see anything because they were covered with a layer of fat! however lately the running has slowed down and i've been resting for about a week waiting for an allergic cough to go away. so annoying! i hate not feeling 100%.

i'm also going in for what i hope to be a final job interview tomorrow. the job has new responsibilities added. not only will i be doing bus dev to start ups and vc firms, but i will also be doing business and financial patent analysis. wayyyy cool. wish me luck!

progess has also been happening on the boy front. he has sent cards, flowers, messages...we have started talking regularly again. i guess his fear of losing me jolted him into realizing just how much he really loved me. he's no longer scared of marriage now, he's actually looking forward to it. i've been waiting to see if these sudden realizations were temporary or permanent. everything in the past few weeks tells me that they are permanent. during our break, i've beening meeting many new people, of course that also means suitors that were interested in me. nothing further than conversation of course. however the whole time, i would always be thinking of him. and how the other boys don't make me smile like he does. i still love him...
