Running because I can!

I am feeling so much better today. I got on the treadmill and my breathing came easier than it has in a long time, and my legs did not feel like jello. I ran my first two miles in 22 minutes and then I walked ran the last part. I think I could have ran longer but I did not want to push it on the first day I realy felt good.

I worked my abs and then I rode the bike for 30 minutes.

Usually I come home from the gym and I feel like napping, not today. I feel pretty good.   

I woke up today at 3:30 and I could not fall back to sleep.  At some point around 4am by 4 yr old boy came in and said he had a bad dream about his beding and could not sleep in his room. So he got in bed with me and once he stopped moving around and fell asleep he began to snor. Not some little cute snor a loud man snor.

It was about 5:30 when I decided i may as well get up and get the gym out of the way.  I made it to the gymall dizzy and almost sleep walking/driving.  I drug my self onto the treadmill and was suprised as I got little bursts of energy. I ran off and on for the entire 4.30.  

Then I worked my sore abs. Lifted a couple of arms weights and then I rode the bike for 30 minutes. 

As I was walking out of the gym I made a mental note that I should do that more offten and that I felt really good.  And then I walked my sweaty body out in the freezing air.    

I don't know about everyone else but I could not beleive the mess of snow when I woke up.  I shoveled I path for my daughter to get on the bus and then I started on my drive way. About an hour later I went out to finish the job, and saw my neighbor was very  stuck, so me and two other women pushed her out.  I decided I should shovel her drive way so she did not get stuck on her way back in.  Then I felt bad for our neighbor, she is single and older so I shoveled her drive way. Then I finished mine.

By the time I was done I could not bend over one more time, but I was not watching the clock, and when I got back in the house it was to late to cancle my gym appointment(daycare). So I rushed around got ready and left. Much to my amazment I ran 3 miles in 31 minutes.  (one of my best times)  when I got off the treadmill I was thinking k I'm done but decided to do my abs. I didn't get very far with that because they are so sore.(but it felt good to lay on the bench) I am reading a really good book right now so I decided the only way I would get any of it read today was if I got on the bike. So I put half the weight on that I normally do and took off. 30 minutes later I was shoked to see how far I had gone. I was at the peak suspense in my book. When I got off the bike my legs were so jello. I have done alot of streching since I have been home.   

I woke up stiffer than a board today and some how still made it to the gym. I thought i will run 1 mile and then get on the arc trainer or something really easy, but some how I ran the whole three miles in 32 or 33 minutes. it really didn't matter I was just glad I surpassed my goal of 1 mile.

I did a light ab workout (still sore from the shoveling). Then I got on the bike and went for 23 minutes. I ran out of time at the day care. I must have laid on the ab bench to long.

Great news!!!!!! I am officially in the 130's now for weight.  Lets just hope it keeps going down.

And o break a mothers heart! I took my twins in for there kintergarden shots today. They were so excited to be there, the poor little things were shocked when those needles started stabbing them in the legs.  It is hard to watch your babies grow up! 

I do have to say tonight has been the easiest night putting them to bed since the day they were born. They are both so stiff they don't want to move.  (that will be me tomorrow)    

All I can say is yeh for tomorrow I get to rest. (well for the most part)

I went to one of my clients homes today and just being there for one hour drains me. This girl I am helping right now has a court date of March 7th and I am her last playig card, so I have until then to teach her all I can reform everything I can about her, or she losses her kids.  (Forever)  I can see she really loves them and she really wants to change. It is sad to watch. I don't normally go in at the end, I go in and have four months or more to work with them, and then they have a few months to prove themselves after I step out that they can maintain.  

My babies bio great grandparents came to get him today and that is giving me a nervous brake down. They are safe people but I don't know if they are smart enough to keep bio mom away.  6 more days and I will have more say and control over the situation. 

So with all this crazy stuff going on I thought I better get on the treadmill so I don't sart eatting.  I decided that I was just going to walk/ run for 60 minutes. It was an easy workout. My legs are still a bit stiff  so it was slow going.
