Only Me

The only person in the way of me getting healthy is... me.

I have no excuses. In fact after yesterdays post I remembered I downloaded a $5.99 app (that is now significantly cheaper I believe) MONTHS ago so I could use my jogging stroller.  Couch to 5k. So yesterday after my post about Mari being sick and me not working out, I loaded her up in the stroller that we keep in the garage because the thing is a monster, and went at it.  And I didn't run every time it said run because I figure I'm going to have to cycle through this program a few times before I'm where I need to be.  But I need to do it. For myself, for my husband, for my daughter.  And the humidity is over 50% so it feels like I have a blanket over my face with a wash cloth stuck down my throat.  Yes I live in the south. No I have not gotten acclimated to the humidity.

For right now, I'm going to commit to doing it every day and slowly adding in weights and what not.  Mari did my stretches with me tonight. She thought it was silly and fun, and I want her to get used to seeing me do it. I want my good habits to become her good habits.  And her being outside is better for her than the inside air, especially with being sick.

I have the perfect neighborhood and the perfect stroller to do this and a daughter who loves to be outside and read books, so why not do this?

We had high fiber pasta and homemade tomato sauce for dinner, and Mari and I ate watermelon for dessert.  Then we went outside.

And as a side note, the Purification oil by Young Living... yeah. Get it. Mosquitoes LOVE me... and I do not have one bite for going out to run/walk at dusk after eating melon. I made a spray of it and water and sprayed it all over me and Mari and they avoided us :)

Well, gotta get back to the wonderful housewifely duties that I have before we all need to hit the sack.  I love my life as a wife and a Momma :)
