Today...

So here I am today... another Monday. How was your weekend? Ours was great, not much going on and the weekend flew by! Alex had his first wrestling tournament on Saturday. It was a... learning experience... LOL! I'll just say that he did much better the 2nd match then the 1st match, and I'm sure he'll just keep improving. It was fun though, and he enjoyed it - that's what matters.

Not much else going on. I am starting a new workout today. Well, I guess not new really - I mean that I'm starting to workout today! A bit of a difference there! Hubby and I were talking and he suggested that I start going to the gym in the evenings on my way home from work, since I have little other time to go. I've never gone in the evenings before, because I am the one who normally picks the kids up and takes them home or to practices, or whatnot. I also feel this kind of "motherly obligation" to be home in the evenings. If that makes any sense at all - I'm guessing that it will make sense to the other moms out there. So, I've been wanting to go, and wanting to get into shape - but haven't found the time during the day. Now, I have time after work and I'm going to do it. My plan to start off is to go on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays - either take a class at the gym or just do some cardio.

Goal: Drop 2 sizes by July 28th (20th High School reunion).
Goal: Run in the Memorial Day weekend 5K run in Huntsvegas. (if I can get ready in time).

The 2nd goal is the oddest for me. I've never really run a day in my life. I'm just not a runner. But for some reason, I've just got this bug now. So, I am going to pursue this, not to make record time on the run or anything like that - simply to finish it. FINISH. I think that I can do that much. We'll see. If anyone has ANY tips at all for me, I will welcome them. How do you prepare for something like this? I guess... just run. OK there it is - It's out there now. I have to live up to it. Please hold me to this - I need the support!
