[QUICKY]

SO I RAN YESTERDAY. I DID A LITTLE OVER 2 MILES!!! BUT WHOS COUNTING RIGHT? HAHA. ME! SO STOKED! HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THE MONTH I HOPE TO BE BACK UP TO 3-4 MILES AND UP FROM THERE! SO EXCITED! IT WAS RATHER WARM YESTERDAY, BUT I DID PRETTY DARN GOOD! I WAS SO SAD THAT I WAS SO TIRED DURING/AFTER... BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER IM STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING AND TO BE PATIENT. SO ILL TRY TO STICK TO MY EXCITEMENT! YAYYYY!
I ALSO FORGOT ABOUT HOW MUCH BEING OUTDOORS MEANS TO ME! I WAS ON CLOUD NINE RUNNING IN THE SUNSHINE, WIND, WATCHING THE OCEAN.... AWWW ITS GOOD TO BE ALIVE!

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND.... (YES YOU DO HAVE TWO)
I WENT TO THE GYM TODAY AND REALIZED I HAD MISSED IT! SO BETWEEN MISSING RUNNING OUTSIDE, AND MISSING THE GYM AFTER A BUSY NO WORKOUT WEEKEND... I FEEL AS IF I AM FINALLY IN A ROUTINE AND IM HOOKED AGAIN ;D I KNEW ID COME AROUND MUA HA HA
SO AT THE GYM I DID ABOUT 12 MINUTES ON THE ROW MACHINE (CAN'T BELIEVE I USE TO DO 20 MIN! MY ARMS ARE ALREADY SORE!) THEN I MOVED ON TO FREE WEIGHTS. IM TRYING TO STRAY AWAY FROM THE MACHINES AT THE GYM BECAUSE THEY ONLY WORK CERTAIN MUSCLES. WHEN YOU USE FREE WEIGHTS YOU USE ALL OF THOSE STABILIZER MUSCLES THAT NORMALLY WOULDN'T GET USED ON A MACHINE. I DID BICEPS, TRICEPS, AND DELTOIDS. MY ARMS ALREADY FEEL IT. ITS A GOOD SORE, AT LEAST I KNOW IM ACCOMPLISHING SOMETHING! HAHA. THEN I MOVED ONTO MY SWIMMING. THIS IS WHERE I FELT IT THE MOST. BETWEEN MY RUN YESTERDAY, ROWING, AND FREE WEIGHTS... MY ARMS AND LEGS WERE MADE OF LEAD. I LOOKED AND FELT LIKE A DROWNING FISH (DO FISH DROWN?), BUT STILL MANAGED 20 MIN.

I KNOW THIS STRENGTH TRAINING WILL GET EASIER.... BUT WOWWY! APPARENTLY LIFTING A 25LB TODDLER MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY WAS ENOUGH OF A WORKOUT. APPARENTLY NOT!

SPEAKING OF TODDLERS.... GUESSSSSS WHAT?! I HAVE GREAT NEWS! I DROPPED CAE OFF AT THE GYM DAYCARE FOR THE SECOND TIME AND WHEN I WENT TO GO GET HIM ABOUT AN HOUR 15 MIN LATER.... THE LADY SAID HE DIDN'T CRY AT ALL AND PLAYED THE WHOLE TIME!!!! YAYAYYAYAYAYYYYYYY! I LOVE IT! IM SO EXCITED! I KNEW REGARDLESS OR NOT OF CRYING, I WAS GOING TO DO MY WORKOUT AND CONTINUE TO BRING HIM. I CAN'T LET HAVING A CHILD GIVE ME AN EXCUSE TO NOT WORKOUT. BUT! THE FACT THAT HE HAS FUN TOO! IS AMAZING! I DON'T HAVE TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT LEAVING HIM AND WE BOTH GET A WORKOUT!

IM GETTING EXCITED :D I FEEL LIKE MYSELF AGAIN. HOPEFULLY AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS ILL BE A MORE TONED VERSION OF MYSELF (ONE CAN HOPE!).

SORRY FOR THE SHORT ENTRY!
HOPE ALL IS WELL!
