I like to move it move it!

I've been jogging.  I know that's not a huge deal to a lot of people but being that I have NEVER had an exercise routine that I have followed this is a really big deal for me.

I started about a month ago and ran a couple of nights and was so wiped out at the end that I thought I was gonna die, and then it got so hot here I just put the whole thing off for a while.  But 2 weeks ago I started again full force.  I have decided that in order to anything in life you have to have the right tools.  If you want to sew you need your machine and a plethora of different notions, if you want to bake you need...well you get the idea, the right tools.  Exercise is no different...or at least in my opinion it isn't.

So now I am equipped with the right tools:

iPod Touch, loaded with the Couch to 5 K app CHECK!

Cute pink and gray jogging clothes, CHECK

Pink and gray jogging shoes to match above jogging suit, CHECK

Sports bra, CHECK

Great jogging music loaded onto new iPod Touch, CHECK

I think that's about it.  I do think I need a sweat band for my head, that would be great, and maybe a few more songs that get my booty movin'.  So far my playlist consists of Huey Lewis, The Cranberries, The Beegees, Uncle Kraker, Train, Mindy Gledhill, Lady Antebellum, and Big and Rich.  I don't know if it could get anymore random than that but hey it works.  Is it bad that Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy gets me movin' like nothin' else?  What's on your playlist?

I'm so glad you are getting out and getting it done! I love Bon Jovi and The Killers. I also like to move to Journey.

Good for you!

I tend towards movie themes: Superman, Bourne Trilogy, Mission Impossible, Star Wars. They are moving & get me day dreaming so I'm not focusing solely on how much pain I am in.

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...
