On the Move

Okay, whoa!  Taking care of three kids, a husband, a house and trying to fit in time for yourself is DEMANDING.  Over the past few months I've gained a few pounds but still feel confident - especially with this new routine I've found.  I eat a small breakfast first thing and walk my 7 year old to school.  Then on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I head straight to the park where there is a track surrounding the soccer fields.  A sign says that three times around is about two miles, so I decided to do just that.

At first I walked the three laps then I worked my way up to walk/jogging one of the three - I am now up to walk/jogging 2 to 3 of them.  I don't know if I've lost any weight (still haven't replaced that scale) but I feel pretty good.  I'm really motivated because my awesome husband bought me a pair of jeans that are so freaken cute (I told him he could buy my clothes from now on) but unfortunately my belly is an inch or two too big for the pants - having kids will do it to you!  So, my goal is to fit into those jeans and to keep up this working out as a life change not just a "right now" thing.

The other day I timed myself and walk/jogged the 2 miles in exactly 1/2 hour.  I don't know if that is good or not but I felt pretty good and will try and beat that time next time.
