This is how I feel

I am currently at work and I'm ready for my day to be over. I feel a bit guilty since I didn't go to the gym to run and do the elliptical. Since I have went back to being a vegetarian I have dropped about 10 pounds. I find this great and I want to continue with my weight loss. it is such an amazing thing to lose weight. I have gone through an array of emotions. Also, it is very nice to get attention from people. I have about 30 more pounds until I reach my final goal, but I am in no rush. When I look back and think about the last 2 years or so, it has been amazing seeing myself drop the pounds and have it confirmed by friends asking me about my weight loss.
I know have a new mini-goal. I would like to drop down to about 170 but May 31. I originally said I would like to weigh 170 by April 15, but I made that goal in January and it is now March 1. I recently, 3 days ago, started running again. I would like to get back into my routine of running 3 miles and doing the elliptical for 45 minutes to an hour everyday. This is a rough routine, but i really enjoyed it a couple of summers ago.
Motivation is one of the hardest things to keep consistent. Some days I just don't feel like running and I suppose those are the moments when I should really do it. I did not run yesterday and I feel kind of guilty. It is amazing how hungry I get after I run and do the elliptical. I don't know if my metabolism is catapulted into overdrive or what, but I become a ravenous wolf when I'm done at the gym. I want to get into weight lifting too, but that is not my primary concern though I know it will aid greatly in my weight loss.
Among other things, I have met a pretty cool guy. I was, and still am, a bit unsure of him, but I do believe he is a good guy. I am very relaxed when I hang with him. It is enjoyable to be able to sit with someone and not have an agenda. Simply sit and watch tv, or even nap...nothing more! It is lovely since I'm tired from working and school.
Well I think that is all I have to report right now. This blog really wasn't coherent, but I just wanted to get some thoughts out of my head. I will make an honest effort to be consistent with writing daily, reporting what I am eating, how my work outs are, my emotions, and anything else that seems pertinent to me.
