out of shape but i have a beautiful ring

It's official :) Christian and I are engaged! I haven't blogged (or ran more than a mile) in almost two weeks. I've been lost in la la land with my fiance. Christian got here late on Friday the 17th and that's the last time my legs were in a running motion for more than 10 minutes.

I am out of shape and totally enamored with my beautiful engagement ring. A girl gets at least 10 days to gloat, right?

But I'm really perturbed by how fast I just got out of shape. According to some article I found on Google this is what happens after two weeks:

At zero workouts for two weeks, you will see a moderate decrease in your aerobic fitness (more if you are a new exerciser, less if you are more experienced). You will notice less loss in your (anaerobic) strength fitness. But you’ll regain what you’ve lost in two to four weeks after you get active again; much faster than if you were starting from scratch.

I'm so excited to spend the next TWO TO FOUR WEEKS getting back to where I was at mile 6 before Christian got here. I'm determined to prove these people wrong. However, last night's experience at the gym would definitely indicate that they are correct. I called it quits on the treadmill after only 15 minutes but I reckon most of it was a mental problem I was having.

The other thing that is really making me mad is that BSC at S. Station just signed up way too many people. WAY TOO MANY!!! I had to wait forever for a treadmill and when I left there was a 6 person line for the treadmills. Totally inexcusable and really discouraging. This girl needs all the green lights you can give her.

Buttt there is still this beautiful ring to look at and a beautiful wedding to plan with a beautiful (ok, handsome) man! So... life is good. :) Derek did a photoshoot for us on monday, that is where the pic is from. His pictures turned out so nice!!! I've also started on our wedding website, check it out.

GO Phils!
