Almost Spring Break

Wow, this semester has felt kind of looney. We have a lot of stuff going on with the kids as well as a new job for me, newly full time teaching for my husband, weight loss, home improvements, oh, and did I mention I'm a full time student? Sometimes sitting and writing feels so - blah. I do so much writing already.

Okay, enough whining and crying.

So how am I? I'm doing great!! It feels really good to be weighing in the 185 range. I've started to run which has been AMAZING. I've never liked to run. If you ask my dad he'll tell you that I just don't like to sweat. That's true. It's different now though because I can do it. I couldn't do it before but I can now. I run about 3-4 times a week and can run about 1 mile without stopping. It's taken me several weeks to work up to that and I probably pushed myself harder than I should have.

I am upset with myself this week though. I haven't been running because 1) the time change means my safe, pre-mapped out route isn't open at the only time I can run and 2) we've had non-stop pouring rain for over a week now. My friend Fernando told me I needed to get out there anyway because "runners run in all sorts of conditions" and that's true. I'm a casual runner now and don't care to get drenched. You should see this rain. Today it hailed so much that my lawn looks like it got a fresh blanket of snow. Maybe I should just get a jogging stroller to push my little guy in, weather permitting, because the stroller I have now I would probably hurt myself on. Any other suggestions?

I'm able to eat pretty much whatever I want at this point, however I still DO NOT tolerate eggs. If they're cooked in something like bread it's no big deal. But scrambled, hard boiled, fried, quiche.... no thanks. :)
