The Journey Continues!!

Mid week 2 & I am proud to say that I continue on my New Life Plan journey!! :o)
I am well into week 2 of the C25K journey & I can't believe that I am actually running & still able to walk & breathe! I must admit...there is no love affair yet! About mid run, I am hating life & really questioning why in the HECK I am doing this! But once I am done, the sense of accomplishment & well being, makes it all worth while! Which has kept me motivated & I have already completed 3 workouts this week! (can you believe that?) Unfortunately no change in the scale... but I am a patient woman & know this is the better way to becoming healthy! My clothes feel a little better, little less muffin top (hehe) & overall I feel better! It's amazing how much smaller I feel mentally (I mean when you are as big as a whale... to lose half a whale you really feel like a skinny whale) THEN... I walk by a mirror or see a pic of myself & so know that I am no wher near a skinny whale & I have a lot more of this journey to travel! I am NO where near ready for Venus swimwear & don't know that I ever will be again... but I will most definitely try! :o) On we go....

As far as the rest of the plan, I have done good with the eating, breakfast daily & certainly more conscious of my portions & choices. I have taken a bath daily & gotten ready! I must admit that I feel a lot better. Walking on the ball field with confidence that I look like I have my shi-ot together, rather than a frumpy mom that just thru on some clothes & pulled my hair up does a lot for a girl! & I hope in the process my boys are proud to say that I am their mom!

Continue to struggle with getting enough sleep & not working too much! For the most part last week I got 6-7 hrs of sleep a night (not 8 I know) & on Wed last week I ended up taking nap mid morning & paid for it the remainder of the week! It was a BIG eye opener! So this week.... NO NAPS! So far at least 7 hrs per night, which is better! My work hrs are still all over the place & I hope this will get better as I get more on schedule! Lil' bit has been sick & at home this week which has thrown things a bit off track but we are certainly not derailed!

Quality time with the boys, well, this still needs some improvement! We did spend 2 nights last week at the ball field & 1 so far this week! We did take a walk in this absolutely beautiful weather, which is Logan's absolute favorite thing!

Speaking of Logan, you guessed it, we are back into the full swing of things with soccer & T-Ball! First Soccer game was last Sat & we WON 7-3 & Logan made 4 GOALS! He continues to amaze me daily! He loves any & ALL sports & somehow manages to get out there, have fun & hold his own! (I could not be more PROUD!!) Also last week, his cap & gown was sent home for graduation... (TEAR) Steven thought I had absolutely lost it!! "It's only kindergarden Joy" but it feels like it was just yesterday that he was born & I blinked & here we are... I am scared to blink again! I just know he will be in High School! So for now, my eyes are WIDE OPEN! & I continue to try to make the most of every moment!

OK, now I must work, until next time.....
