Comfortable in my own skin

I hit a new milestone this weekend.

For the last three and half months, I've been working out almost every day.  While I would LOVE to lose at least 10 pounds, my overall goal is to tone up and be healthy.  Last week I started the C25K program - again.  I started it last year and gave up after a few weeks because I got busy with other things.  I had signed up for The Color Run and attended but walked it instead of running.  I did Day 2 yesterday and even started out while it was sprinkling.  It was a challenge but I did it!  My goal is to actually run The Color Run this July.

While I was getting ready to go on my run, I pulled out some running pants that I had gotten off of the clearance rack a couple of months ago.  I put on those tight spandex running pants and was not horrified at the sight in the mirror!  Even though the scale hasn't budged, I am seeing a difference!  I am starting to feel comfortable in my own skin - that is a milestone for me!

Welcome to my little spot

I've been reading blogs for a while now.  I have several favorites that I check out on a daily basis!  There are many inspiring women out in blog land.

What kind of blogger will I be?  I have no idea! There's a lot going on in our life right now and I thought that this would be a great spot to capture all of those memories.  One of these days my kids will look back at this and will probably be appalled at some of the pictures that will probably show up on here!

Speaking of kids...mine are currently 19 and 5.


The son graduated high school last year and has spent this past year working.  He has plans to go on to vocational school but he isn't sure what he wants to be when he grows up.  Who does!?!?  We are super proud of the young man that he has become!




The daughter starts Kindergarten this fall.  I can't believe how quickly this time has flown - I am not sure if I am ready for her to go to school.  My hope is that she handles homework better than her brother did!  She is super smart and very sassy!



The husband and I have been together since High School - that's 20+ years.  I couldn't ask for a better man in my life!  He's super busy with work right now and it's only going to get busier for him - I see a lot of time spent without him this summer.



Who am I?  I work full time in an office.  Most days I love my job and the people I work with.  In my free time I enjoy reading, sewing, photography and scrapbooking.  I just started the Couch to 5K program and hope that I eventually enjoy running!  I am currently training for The Color Run that I have signed up for that will take place in July.

I hope you'll stop back by and see what's happening around here!
