"Listen earnestly to anything [your children] want to tell you, no matter what. If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff." - Catherine M. Wallace

Working out
At the beginning of the year I made a goal to run a 5k. I accomplished that in April and thought about running a 10k by the end of the year. Well I got shin splints and haven't wanted to run since but I have kept with my main focus of becoming healthier. I'm and now working out 5-6 days a week for an hour each day. I am doing 3 days of weights and three days of cardio. I've noticed a big difference in how I feel energy wise and my eating habits have naturally changed a bit. I was getting a bit discouraged the other week about doing all this work and not seeing any physical results until someone that we go to church mentioned to Jacob that I was looking a lot better. And then one of my friends the other week told me she could see a difference. I have lost 7 pounds in 2 months which is the rate I want to keep loosing it. It's a slow battle but I am making it. I LOVE working out and miss it a lot when I can't go to the gym. I don't care how much I weigh, I'm more focused and concerned with what size pants I wear. My goal is a size 8 but I would be happy with a size 10. I can't wait to see what I look like this time next year. I should post a picture... only I hate how I look right now. My goal for next year continues to be running a sprint Triathlon though. Wish me luck!
