so happy to be running again!

This past week i worked out 3 times!!  WOO HOO!  My plan was to start out very slow with the walking and easing into jogging and then running.  The first time i got on the treadmill since i broke my foot i was able to jog 10 minutes!  I am being VERY careful so don’t worry!  I go barefoot around the house and chase my 2 year old all the time and it never bothers me.  This was the first time in shoes i was able to do that!  So the next 2 times i got on the treadmill i also ran 10 minutes and just uped the speed to whatever felt comfortable.  That made me feel good that all the running 2 months ago wasnt thrown completely out the window.  This week im shooting for 4 workouts.  My eating is still SO bad.  That is the hardest thing for me.  I have never enjoyed working out but can usually force myself to do it.  The eating however i do so subconciously and will do good the first half of the day then get so caught up in life and dealing with a toddler i just start eating whatever.  I hate that it takes SO long to get back on track 100%.  I know ill get there… that determination is sitting extremely close to the surface!

Yes i am finally going to work out!!!  I havent worked out since i broke my foot in the end of April.  I did a few upper body workouts but then we got into this whole house buying thing and i did zero workouts.  Off i go!!

ok starting to get back to normal.. sorta.

So today i FINALLY found my scale!  It was in a box that had a bunch of random stuff in it.  I have been looking for it since last Thursday.  I am glad it still works!  It has been sitting in storage for over 2 years!  Sooooo we closed on our house last Wednesday and moved Wednesday.  My hubby tore our room apart an hour before we closed and then came straight home to start packing stuff up in the car!!!  It has been a crazy last few days but the house is starting to really come together!  Ill have to post some pics later.  I really have no excuse now.. i have a treadmill sitting in the spare bedroom.  Eating has been really bad lately.  Mostly frozen food so i don’t have to cook while the house is a total disaster and ive been unpacking all day.  I am really wanting to get back on track but severely lacking in motivation.  Its depressing to see in my appointment book that i wanted to weigh 155 by the end of June.  I guess breaking my foot didnt really help with that either.  Ugh!!!!!  One step at a time.. i will get there!

ohh myy goshh my life is crazy

We finally found a house and was supposed to close last Friday but it has been pushed to this week.  I am going crazy with anticipation and stress.  I can’t wait to have my treadmill back which has been in storage for over 2 years!  I am excited to start back up on my running.  My foot has healed for the most part.  I can chase after my 2 year old around the house barefoot but i havent tried running in shoes yet.  I constantly think about losing weight and am conscious of everything i put in my mouth.  I don’t always make the best choices but all my old habits are still in place i just need to put them into action.  I am hoping this ginormous weight will drop off once we move in.  I don’t do well under pressure.  I WILL be back and SOON!
