Family and Being Alone

Well, it's been a few weeks since I was on here.  I have been doing REALLY well!!!  I have spent a lot of family time with...well...my family!  We are doing more just the four of us and visiting family out of town.  It's so refreshing to not have to TRY so hard to be liked.  My girlies are keeping me busy with summer activities and I haven't had to "deal" with friends for a few weeks now.  I think I'm finally realizing...I want friends, but I need to nurture my introvertedness.  I do really well when I have alone time.  I think this past year I spent too much time with others, felt like I wasn't complete if I wasn't around a bunch of people and felt left out when I wasn't a part of everything!  But, you know I haven't really been doing anything with anyone outside of my family for a month now and I feel so much more content.  Sad isn't it?  :0)  I like being with people, I just think I was around them too much and was forgetting that I can't get my happiness from them.  I'm hoping that this next year will be WAY dif. from the last.  Look at this....I'm rambling!!!  :0)

This weekend was sooo much fun.  I got to play with my baby niece A. all weekend.  My bro and Sis-in-law came to go thru some storage units with my parents and I got to babysit.  So much fun.  I got my baby fix.  YAY!!!

Tonight I will be doing my 2nd 2 min. run session.  2 Min. run with 1 min walk for 7 reps.  I was so proud of myself for completing my first 2 min. run cycle.  Can't wait to prove to myself that I can do it again.  I'm going to take my 8 year old with me today....if she wants to go.  She LOVES to run and I'm hoping next year to run a fun run with her that she has run twice already.  She wants to run a marathon...but I don't think I'm ready for that!!!  Hee hee!!!

Finding my smile this summer is getting easier and easier...until next time!  Loves to all!!!

Run Baby Run!

I have decided that I can find a little more of my happy by regaining my skinny body...OK Maybe "Skinny" isn't the right word...but I def. want to see muscles again in my legs and arms.  Hopefully my stomach will follow suit.  I started a running program on Sat.  All it entailed was run for one min, walk for 90 sec. and repeat for 8 times.  It kicked my ASS!!!  I am sooooo out of shape, I can't believe it. 

My brother has me hooked on zombie books and I decided that if there was ever a zombie attack...well, in my shape, I would be dead in seconds!!!  So, hopefully I'll be able to keep this up.  I'm a little scared about running because I was in a major car accident in 1998 and broke my back in 2 places.  In the past, I've had trouble running because my bones feel like they are grinding together...but I have high hopes this time!  Fingers crossed.

I have one more day left on 1 min run/90 Sec. walk then I graduate to run 2 min.'s walk 1 min and repeat for 7 times...3 days in week 2...AAaaahhhh!!!  :0)  I'm so sorry body, that I have neglected you for so long and you have to go thru this pain...please forgive me!
