Scale's broken...

No really, it is.  The battery in the scale in my parents' bathroom is old and is causing the scale to read at least 5 lbs heavy.  Dad will corroborate this.  So yeah, haven't weighed myself in a while, because I would like an ACCURATE number...  Just need to get a new battery.  It's on the to-do list.

In the interest of protecting the privacy of both the innocent and the guilty, I won't post everything I WANT to post about what's been going on with me personally for the last few months.  Let's just say I was seeing someone, and he decided to be an ass and cheat on me.  So I decided to be strong and break up with him.  One of the best decisions I've ever made.

I've been going to the gym regularly this past week.  Even went twice on Thursday.  Swam in the morning and went to a Zumba class in the evening.  Zumba is energizing and addictive, but DAMN, my calves are killing me!!!  I'm looking forward to doing it again.  I've also started a Couch to 5k program.  While walking and talking with someone today, I had to keep fighting the urge to break into a jog.  SAY WHA?!?!  Shannon actually WANTED to jog?!?!  GET OUTTA TOWN!!!

I don't know why this is so surprising to me, but it's a bit bittersweet: I'm almost to the point where I need to buy a ton of new clothes.  One day at work, I was wearing a dress and kept almost losing my underwear.  That was an awkward day.  Most of my dress pants are loose enough that I could pull them off without unbuttoning or unzipping them.  Interesting concept, but yeah, I need work clothes that fit!  Even more sad... I'm pretty sure my chest is shrinking.  That's almost bad enough news to make me cry.  :-(  But dammit, I'm feeling better, and looking better, too!  Folks who haven't seen me in a year have said I'm looking GREAT.  I'm inclined to agree with them.

And although my self-esteem was pretty much shattered by being cheated on... Something's been happening the past few days that's sent it straight through the roof again.

*happy dances*

Don't want to jinx it, so I'm going to shut up now.  But yeah... YAY!!!  *happy dances some more*

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I will try to post more often!!!  I love my readers!  Don't throw me into the Pit of Despair for not updating frequently enough!!
