over a year?

So I realized today that I have been doing this blog for just over a year now. I also realized that I'm not any further than I was a year ago. Well I guess that isn’t exactly true, I did do my first 5k in March but other than that I really haven’t progressed at all. I'm really disappointed in myself, if I would have stuck with it (also not have hurt my ankle in July, that was a HUGE setback) I would probably be close to where I want to be. So here is the deal.... Time seems to slip away from me and I'm constantly tired with the kids and running the house and all, so I'm going to start small. I'm going to make myself the promise that I will exercise at a minimum of once a week for a month, I will try for more but with the minimum of once a week I should be able to handle that. then I'll bump it up to twice a week for a month and so on. I wish I could be OCD about it and focus on it really strong, but the fact is that I'm lazy and by the time I pick up kids and rush home, get dinner done and everything else I'm really tired. I know I know I need to just do it, but it is hard to have the motivation when I rather crawl into bed and read. So Baby steps it is!

tonight is the night

Ok so I've had a hard time finding time to get back at it. I've been feeling pretty stressed lately with the fact that I've been subpoenaed to testify on behalf of the kids next week. just the mear thought of it puts my stomach in knots, even now it is happening. And with that pretty much being on my mind all the time I've had a hard time focusing on anything else. So what better time to work out some stress than tonight. The kids have their visit tonight so I'm going to take that opportunity to get on the treadmill without any interruptions. So my plan is after I get the kids fed and off to their visit I'm going to spend some QT with the treadmill. Fingers crossed that I stick with my plan!
