I did it!

I guess just blogging about wanting to jog pushed my motivation that much further and I jogged tonight!  I'm not sure if you can really call it jogging.  I'm not very fast and I could only do like 30 seconds at a time, but I went around the park once, then back to my house and jogged about 2/3 of the time.  I guess it gets easier with practice just like everything in life.  It felt good to sweat, I know that sounds silly, but it's been a long time since I've exercised and worked up a good sweat.  I'm hoping that this will kick start my weight loss again.  I've lost about 70ish pounds and want to do another 30 and then maintain.  I can't believe that I was big enough to lose 100 lbs...man putting that down on "paper" makes me even more motivated.

Two things I learned tonight jogging, first I really need a better bra!  Second, no one really cares about how you look, or how fast you are, or if your hair is cute while you are walking/jogging, I don't even think anyone gave me a second look!

AND I didn't even pee my pants!!!!  Now off to the showers!

Yay! Good for you! I've decided the early evening is going to work better for me on most nights. I just can't get up early enough to go at 6.
I went out tonight and managed to run for 90 seconds/walk 2 minutes for about 10 minutes. Then I walked the rest of the way. It was still a good 30 minute workout and I was home before any rain or anything.
Maybe I can meet you at the park some night. It sounds like we might be running at about the same speed.
My legs hurt...goodnight!

That's great! I wish I could jog, but my back is so screwed up that everytime I try I end up laying on the floor for a week hopped up on pain killers and muscle relaxers. Bummer. I am proud of you. Keep it up!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
