If you have not already become an official "follower" of my blog..please take a gander at the right hand side of the page and click it to become one. I know there are those of you reading it, but not official yet. Just make it official already, I am a commitment kinda gal..lets go all the way :) Big SHOUT OUT to LaDyK, Christina Sanders, and miazamora for hookin a sister up...I feel the love flowing in!
On another note, I am thinking about what to tell you all every single day. This week has been filled with fun, surprises and accomplishments for me. I have had a FANTASTICAL break with my own kiddos doing stuff that moms do with their kids: library, park, swimming, movies. I have not had much of an opportunity to do this kind of stuff with them on a regular basis because if I was not working full-time, I was going to school and working full-time (I know, my "Mother of The Year" card was revoked many moons ago). On top of all of this utter enjoyment and fascination with my kids, I have been running (some may call it a slow jog) every day. I have cut my mile time down from 14:56 to 13:52. Every day I am running just around 2.5 miles..next week I will be upping it to help get ready for my first 5K. That is a HUGE accomplishment and I will shout it from the Highest rooftops..."I am Proud of ME". The app I have on my phone,IMapyMyRun, tracks it all and lets me compare all my workouts, and that helps me stay motivated to beat my own self everyday.
This week a funny little thing happened to me. I decided to pop in and visit one of my dearest friends, Carly. Over the years her family has really just melded into our family, so to say she is just a "friend" is not doing our relationship justice. ANYHOOO....I went to visit her and she came to the door in her sweats, with a smile on her face and said, "I should have texted you before you came over, you wanna work out?" Now how am I gonna say no to her, when I know the girl is one of my biggest cheerleaders and reads my blog? So of course I said sure. Good thing she had a pair of my stretch pants at her house frm one of our evenings of eating too mush and not being comfortable in the original pair pants we had on. What I failed to ask prior to agreeing was, "Hey Carly, what workout are we doing?" BOY WAS I IN FOR IT! She puts in P90X Sculpt...WHAT THE?? I felt like the weight of my behind was gonna blow out my leg muscles...lifting your own booty is a CRAZY workout. Needless to say, we finished it and were so proud of ourselves. Instead of sitting around gabbing while our rugrats played, we worked out and did something our kids were proud of. They were shooting photos of us and everything (I will be posting them below).
This has been a week of change and growth and a whole BOATLOAD of fun for me. I really like running, even though before I actually get out there, I Loathe the idea of doing it. I weigh in at Weight Watchers on Sunday and have forgone the family trip to the first annual "Food Truck Convention" at one of our local casinos. The fam bam will be heading out tomorrow while I finish some Teacher Performance Assessments in peace and quiet. I know I cannot handle going to a place like that without literally gorging myself, so I broke the news to mister yesterday. He was so supportive and said he would even take the little kids with him so I could work in peace...what a good guy. I guess I will keep him around for awhile.
So with that my faithful friends and supporters, I give you another addition of "Confessions".
