For not running since Nov.  I decided to get out.  Very nice weather here so why not.  Ran pushing Jarren in the stroller 2.09 miles no reason for the .09 miles but I had to get back to the house.  Time:  23:27  I hope that I can get motivated again and back into shape.

Ran 2 miles pushing Jarren in the stroller. I was waiting a bit for it to warm up but I waited a bit long. It was really warm out there. Nice run but man I am out of shape. I was struggling the last bit. Time: 22:30

I did not get out yesterday the wind was blowing really hard all day. So my desire to run was pretty much shot.

I would like to start a good healthy diet to shed a few pounds.  But I really don't know where to start.  Any guidance would be great to hear!

Hi Sunny,

I just returned to the blog recently and am trying to check back in with people. It's good to see you are still running. You are so smart to do it while you still have little kids. I know it is hard with little ones, but I wish I would have been more active then. My biggest key when losing weight is just realizing how much a portion is. Cutting down the size of everything, (except adding to the size of the fruits and veggies, I never get enough of them in.) I'm going to check back with you and see how you are doing...K? Good luck!

The wind was not blowing so I decided to go run.  I do not like running in the wind so that is a very easy excuse for me not to go.  Ran 2 miles pushing Jarren in the stroller.  Time:  23:29

Good job! Getting out there and running. Don't avoid the wind! Think of running in the wind as cardio training and resistance training at the same time!! :)

Great job getting out and running Sunny! Have you found any great eating tips? I've been struggling pretty bad since I haven't been running. It's amazing how it goes hand in hand. We should try to figure something out and can motivate each other.

A lot of the streets were blocked off in this town due to resurfacing.  So I have to come up with a different route to run.  I ran 2.15 miles pushing Jarren in the stroller.  I wanted to go a bit more but the little guy was upset I was going a different way and was worried we were going to get lost.  LOL!!!  Time:  24:53 ( I had to walk up a hill because I was over heating)  It was already 70* at 9:30 am!!!  Not that I am complaining because I love the heat just not running in it.

Decided to try a slow run today.  Dr said I could start running slow.  Ran with Jarren in the stroller to the elementary school did my volunteer work for an hour then over to the cow field and back home.  Really slow but  I felt good.  We will have to see what the rest of the day brings.

Jogged 2 of the 3 miles today.  Took Jansen to school and then finished the loop with Jarren in the stroller.  Decided to try jogging again.  It felt pretty good but I took it easy and listened to my body.

Went to my maternal fetal medicine specialist yesterday.  Appointment went good.  I may not have the blood condition--antiphospholipid  syndrome that the ob referred me to them for.  They are doing blood work to determine it.  So that is good.   Ultrasound looked good but Baby Ence was still too small to determine gender this time.  Shucks!!
