Call me Cliche, I've Changed!
2009-01-16 - 9:16 p.m.

In the last 42 days a lot of life has happened. The Bug had her first Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Birthday and all were blasts! Wonderful in the most wonderful ways. It all seems to be flying by so fast and I'm doing the best I can to savor every second, but it's kind of like a wonderful cozy dinner with friends.... you look so forward to it and then before you now it, it's gone. She's so wonderful! I feel so completely blessed to be her mother!

You know how I hate to be cliche in any way and so to declare that I've changed my life right here at the new year just makes me wanna gag! So let me quantify it first by saying that I've been in the process for over a month! I can't exactly say why I've started.... it was one of those things that I was afraid to do... afraid of running. Scared I'd hurt myself. And it does hurt, no doubt, but I haven't killed myself yet like I thought I would. I've proven myself faithful and this past week I finally went and bought myself a true pair of running shoes and sports bra. Dropped 10 pounds so far and don't struggle with depression the way I was before. So braving 8pm 19 degree weather to do 2.2 miles is a big lifestyle change for me... but I'm enjoying it.
