So, today is Monday...again! Thankfully I have the whole day off. I don't have to work at all. Right now T is watching cartoons and L is sleeping peacefully in the boys' room.
After a super duper time at a birthday party for one of T's friends this weekend I decided that I am going to just stay home this weekend and not answer the phone and just work on house stuff. I have been trying to decorate our house (since it will be 2 years in July that we have lived here) and I finally invested in the paint for our dining room wall....it is called Paprika and it is a wonderful color. So after two years of trying to get Lynnie to pull down the horrible looking china cabinet on the wall, he FINALLY did it yesterday (Sunday) and we painted and now it adds so much character to our little home. It is coming together and I just have a sense of peace with that....
It is funny how when you accomplish one thing on your To Do List then you feel like you can go and accomplish anything...so back to the jogging and 5K plans.
In Jan. I decided that after years of starting and stopping I was going to start jogging and do a 5K race in Sept. I did really well for a couple of months on the treadmill and then the big day came for me to go outside and try out my progress on the track....uh, yeah....after being able to jog continually for 20 + min on the treadmill I went outside and ran one lap...ONE LAP.....and I was about to die...then I walked a lap and ran another lap and then decided I better start my training all over again....at a later date. So here I am a little over a month since that happened and I have just been walking with a friend a couple of days a week.
So, after the above noted birthday bash on Sat. and talking to a couple of gals about running and definetly doing a race, I decided I was going to start slowly back into it. I am planning on going this evening and just doing my best through the neighborhood....without kids......maybe some friends will come with.
Instead of having the "skinny" outlook I decided I would change it to the "healthy" outlook. I can exercise and exercise and not lose any weight but as soon as I eat healthy and smaller portions I can drop some poundage...however...I hate eating healthy. But I feel horrible after eating lots of sugar and carbs....I get a huge headache and I am sluggish and tired and feel awful....*you'd think I would learn from this after the first 50 times of it happening*....so I decided to blog about my progress....then everyone can read about it and keep me accountable and it will encourage me to get healthy and fit...mentally, spiritually, and physically.....
So, here we go again........
