I survived!

Today was my Week 1 Day 1 of C25K....... and I SURVIVED! you hear that people.... I SURVIVED! And what a great feeling it is. I'm not going to lie, I wanted to quit after my first 60 second jog. But I gave myself a pep talk and another pep talk and yip that's right..... Another pep talk. Everytime it was time to jog I would tell myself that I'm not the only one who's ribs are aching, legs are hurting and not to mention big bum/boobs are bouncing all over. Every fat person has to start somewhere. Every body part with extra baggage on it will bounce, every rib will ache and threaten to ruin your day when you wake up the next morning and can hardly move. I am not the only person that will have to experience this, it's the start for every person who embarks on a new journey of a healthy life. I told myself that I wanted to do it for Dryden, so that he won't be embarrassed of his mom.(Since we all know how kids are these days. Them little bullies will bug other kids if they aren't wearing the right clothes, have the right hair cut and yes has a mother who isn't a a skinny minnie) I tell myself that I want to do this for ME, so I can be comfortable in my clothes, so that I won't get depressed when I go shopping and everything looks nice but when I try it on it looks horrible. (that could also be because store mannequins wear a size XS and EVERYTHING looks nice in XS and not so much in a L or XL) And wouldn't you know it, my pep talks worked. The first 90 seconds seem to take forever and the next 20 minute flew by. So here's to hoping I keep with it and eventually start to enjoy running. I'm sure my pep talks won't be far from my mind when it's time to start my 30 minute program but if that's what it takes to get me through it that's fine with me!!

Sorry if this doesn't make much sense and I am rambling on. But this post will be my motivation on the days I don't feel like moving!

Its been forever...... AGAIN!!!

Well I keep promising myself that I will blog more often. I would like to say that I simply haven't had "time" to blog. Even tho we have been really busy lately, there is always time here and there to do things. Somehow blogging isn't one of the things I squeeze in. I love love LOVE reading other peoples blogs but when it comes to my own I never know what to write about. When I do start a post it seems to have a billion topics and goes on fooooorrrreeeevvvverrrr. Which ends up boring me and I never finish the post. Hmm.... this post is already getting boring and...... loooong. So again I am promising myself that I WILL blog more often and hopefully I can find my blogging groove and start to enjoy writing again.

Things on my mind lately:

1. I return back to work on June 27th. That is 12 days away. TWELVE days people. I have been off of work for approx. 54 weeks and am so scared to go back.

2. Dryden will be offically be a 1 year old in a couple weeks, which means he isn't my little baby any more. (even tho he will always be my baby)

3. Blogging of course. I think about it everyday even tho I don't actually blog every day (or every other day... or every month)

4. Losing weight. This is always on my mind but with the warm weather here to stay for a couple months I dread having to wearing summer clothes. So here is to hoping I can actually stick with a routine and lose some weight.

5. My good friend Candace is getting married in 10 days and even tho I am stressing about what I am going to wear , I am SO excited to watch her walk down the aisle and be able to share in her special day with her.

Here are some random picture of the last few months (BEWARE: I do not edit any of my pics)
