Crazy to think that I of all people are excited to get up early and get my run in..... Unfortunately, this stupid weather is driving me crazy. I had hoped that it would be a little warmer today so that I could just go outside before Boyd left for work and run, however, the streets are yet again covered in snow. I like the snow in the mountains, but could live without it in the valleys. I am a warmer weather sunshine kind of girl but I guess we need the moisture so I better not complain.
Today is a two mile run and I actually know that I will be able to make it. It feels so good. Yesterday I was working out my abs and was thinking of my nice 6 pack from the ol' days of Hawaii and decided that even if they are not quite that great again (I have had three/four kiddos) that I would be extremely happy anyway. I am down another 1/2 pound so my goal gets closer and closer everyday. It is amazing to think how much easier everything will be once I reach even the smaller goals.
You know even better than being able to do things that I haven't been able to do and starting to lose the much needed weight is my new found joy in playing silly new games with the girls. I have always loved playing with them but couldn't muster up the energy to play their new favorite "Monster" or tag. Our house has many round about areas (you know those areas that drive us mom's crazy when the kids are running around with loud toys and you hear the wheels on the tile.) Well, anyway we have three major circling areas in our great room so the girls now wake up wanting me to growl like a monster and chase after them to turn them into little monsters that get attacked by the tickle monster. I am sure you can't see the theme here and why they call is Monster;)? It is great having the energy to do this because I know that my kids will remember me as the fun, energetic mom rather than the "Just a second" mom (they still get this one if I am in the middle of an exercise routine but not like the old days). I really like this one much better.
Well, I guess I have spent more time working on this than I should if I wanted to leave while Boyd was still here so I will get off now and do aerobics and then go running tonight at the community center after he gets home from work.
Tonight's dinner will be Turkey/Chicken Pot Pie and let's just say it is fab-u-lous. This is one of my recipes and tonight I am going to try a slimmed down version to see if it is as good. Generally, when I take the calories down it doesn't seem to take away from the taste so we will see and then I will post.
