still going...

well, i've gotten up in the am a few more times and walked/jogged/run and it's going well. sometimes i do it at night, sometimes the afternoon, but usually the morning.

and my baby girl is leaving tomorrow to spend a week with her dad. so hopefully i'll be able to work out every day!

all for now. gotta go snuggle with bo :-)

i didn't want to do it, but i did it anyway, and it SUCKED!!!

so, i got up and went "running" at 430 this morning. it sucked. way too dark. couldn't get my heart rate up where i like to get it.

you may ask yourself, why do you have to get up 4 hours before you have to be at work so you can run for 30 minutes? well, my husband has to be at work at 6 (he's usually earlier) so i have to be home before he leaves -
but i think i can probably swing leaving at 450 or so and still get back in plenty of time.

so yes, it sucked but i supposed i'm glad i did it. next time it won't be as early, and hopefully it will be better.

all for now.

and so it begins...

well, this weekend, i finally have started back exercising. saturday morning, i got up at 9 and ran for 30 minutes - when i say run, i really mean walk and jog with an occasional sprint -
and yesterday bo got my spin bike out of storage. so i rode it for 30 minutes last night before bed.
i have less than 3 months until my 10 year high school reunion, so i need to get my butt in gear. plus, my sister's wedding is in about a year.


as far as the house goes, work continues. we (or i should say bo and his dad) have painted all 3 bedrooms and the living room. next is the bathrooms and kitchen. and we are in the process of replacing every electrical outlet and light switch in the house. it's not hard, but is time consuming.

as for the fam, morgan is 29 months old now. she loves to swim, still loves pink, and also loves her new kitten. her name is tessa, but morgan insists on calling her "kitty cat" and occasionally "dora"

bo and i have been married 2 months. so far it's been pretty good. we just work all day and then work on the house, but we still try to spend time alone together every day.

ok, that's all for now!

who knew?

it is dark at 4:30 am?
i realized it this morning as i turned off my alarm. perhaps it will be brighter tomorrow.

running blog

well, i've decided that i have to start getting up every morning and running. for me, running means jogging and walking with an occasional sprint.
so i'm gonna post here at least once a week and tell how many times i ran and for how long.
my sister is getting married in about a year and i don't want to look like a big fat cow next to her super-skinny self!!

it's everywhere

so i was driving into town today, and i heard a song begin on the radio. within the first line of the song, i knew what it was about. i waited in the parking lot of the store so i could hear the whole thing. it brought back things i don't like to think about but there is no forgetting. i don't dwell on it anymore, but i won't ever forget.
in a way it was nice to know that someone else out there (and i'm sure many people have experienced the same thing) can put my feelings into words.

it's called "forgive" my rebecca lynn howard

I always said that'd be it
That I wouldn't stick around
If it ever came to this
Here I am so confused
How am I supposed to leave
When I can't even move
In the time that it would've took to say
"Honey I'm home, how was your day"
You dropped a bomb right where we live
And just expected me to forgive

Well that's a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
'Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say forgive

I should ask but I won't
Was it love or just her touch
'Cause I don't think I want to know
So get you some things and get out
Don't call me for a day or two
So I can sort this out
Well you might as well've ripped the life
Right out of me, right here tonight
When through the fallen tears you said
Can you ever just forgive

Well that's a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
'Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say forgive

Well you know what they say
Forgive and forget,
Relive and regret

Forgive, well that's a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
'Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say forgive

It's too soon for me to say
Forgive

gonna try to post pics...
