Ah! He Is Home Early

I forgot how addicting walking/working out in general is for me... I have been rather lax about it since the fall... But since the move I had been trying to get back into a regular workout schedule. I love it, and I find myself day dreaming about it... Weird, right? I imagine it is not unlike the way a drug addict feels when they are thinking about getting their next fix. I just know that I crave it.

I have always been a big girl, for as long as I can remember. Bear with me on this next part because this is where it really gets crazy: I feel like there is a runner trying to claw her way out. I know I am not quite there but I hope to be, and know that I will be. I am pretty sure I will be joining a run/walk group in the near future.

I know that I have already come a LOONNNNNNGGGG way from where I was at my worst, and I still have a LOOOONG way to go. Some day, hopefully soon, I will be comfortable enough share just how bad the "worst" was for me...

Anyway, let's steer clear of that dark patch for now....

I can't wait for Collin to get home so we can go for our walk. (But I will) Tomorrow I will probably start walking on the treadmill or elliptical in the fitness center when I get home and then we can go for a walk on top of that or Collin can come and work out in the fitness center. I attempted to do this yesterday and the key that was issued to us didn't work.... Like, it wasn't even the right style of key... I figure we will deal with it tomorrow...  Tonight I just want to walk through the park area and then watch the hockey game. Plus it's looking pretty nice outside right now, and I needs my vitamin D.

Oh, back to the walking/running group I am planning on joining. Collin's best friend and his wife are part of it (so Collin wants to do it too!). Since joining the wife has lost seventy pounds, she runs six to seven miles on Saturdays, and she is training for a 10k in June or July and a half marathon in September. She is really good inspiration for me. I want to get to that point, and I know I have it in me. Plus then I will have a running buddy other than just Collin (though he has been a really good work out buddy all these years).


I was going to add more but Collin is home now and I am totally distracted and derailed from typing any more on here... I will say this (since I have ten minutes until the potatoes are done anyways): Crap... I forgot... Hmm... Maybe I will post again later during the game...
