So yeah, it’s been a while….
But one of my New Year’s resolutions (which I just completed February 2nd 😉 is to post weekly and hopefully there will be a new post each Friday! Yeah I know, you’ve heard this before, but really I will try much harder in 2013 to spend more time on this fabulous website, talking about all the fabulously random things in my head and in our lives!
So to catch you up to speed, I have now been at The Job for almost 7 months. I still like it and things are still going well, so really nothing to report there. Other than I love finally having a job that pays well, gives me lots of PTO, and knows that at 5:01pm I am not thinking about work at all! As a social worker in a past life, this last one is HUGE!!!
In other news, The Husband and I completed our first 5k in December….yes, you read that right, I COMPLETED A 5K!!! Granted I did not run the entire thing, but hey, I finished it!! We are both registered for a St. Patty’s Day 5k in March, so we are still running. I am training daily, trying to increase my endurance so that hopefully soon I can say I ran a WHOLE 5k! Yesterday was a huge milestone for me. I ran over a mile without taking a break to walk!! This was a huge accomplishment for me!! I really needed it after this past weekend when I thought I would try out the scales at Bed Bath & Beyond to see which set we wanted to purchase. Well after trying out 3 different ones (because I couldn’t believe the first one, the second one must be off, and the third one was just plain lying, the bastard) I left the store with no scales but new tears in my eyes. Really?!?!? And I thought I had been doing so good…. But when I ran that mile yesterday nonstop, I realized I have been doing so good! No, the numbers may not be showing it right now, but when have I ever been able to run a whole mile?? When have I been able to run PERIOD, let alone several times a week, and in a 5k?!?! This is when I decided that I needed to focus on how I am feeling and not so much on the numbers. Don’t get me wrong, I want those numbers to get lost too, but if I am feeling good and feeling accomplished, I refused to let that little number on that little machine deter me.
So I will continue on this journey….who’s with me?
