Thanks to C25K, the Couch to 5k program, I'm finally running! I've been needing to do this for a long time, and I'm finally making the time for me. For me to do it! And I'm actually enjoying it! Not only am I doing something healthy for me, I'm getting oh so important quiet time, and time with hubsy, too.
And not only that, but it's giving my children a break from me as well!
I noticed immediately after my first workout that I was in a better mood and had more patience, and that continued after each workout. I was able to make it to the gym 4 times this week. I think I'm going to take it easy tomorrow, and then on to W2D1 on Monday!
Oh, and I'm down 4.5 pounds!

Change in Day Care was Good, I Think
After pulling my children out of daycare, I was in a mad dash to find new arrangements for Annie; I was lucky that I could bring her to work with me Thursday and Friday since the boss was out of town. I can't do it this week!
Not only did I find a place, but they are actually open 30 minutes later than the former daycare. Yes, 30 whole minutes. But that 30 minutes will make all the difference in the world for me. I will now have Mommy Time! I will have a whole 60 minutes after work before I need to pick her up (the other 30 is drive time). And what is right next door to her new daycare? That's right, a Snap Fitness gym.
I've been wanting to try this C25K program for a long time. Couch to 5K. It's to help people who have never run, begin a running regimen. But I seriously could not find any consistent time to do it. Because of hubsy's schedule, if I'm not at work, I'm with the kids. No girl time, no alone time, no nothing.
But now I get an entire hour! On days I don't go to the gym, I can actually get a manicure! I am so excited I can't contain myself!

For all the women who dare age!
I thought I would post this again now that the holidays are over. For all the women who dared to age and gain a few pounds, read Carrie Fishers response to all the hatred. It's priceless.
