July 10 is an odd day to have as a day 1 for anything, but here it is… July 10. I need to start training again for Tough Mudder Norcal that is happening on October 14. This is the first time my partner in crime Rachael and I will be doing one in locally. I was a little bitter that the fun time is over and I needed to start exercising again and get into shape. I usually only have to do that once a year. I know I should try to stay in shape all the time, but yaaa…no. I should step on the scale to get my starting weight, but I think I am just going to go by how my jeans are fitting. I know they don’t fit and that’s not going to shock me. The scale on the other hand could very well put me into a spiral of depression that could land me in a bakery shoving cupcakes in my mouth crying into my coffee. Not a good start. So day one begins in a most uneventful way.
