When was I so smart and how come I'm not anymore?

I’ve been feeling pretty crappy about my self image lately, none of my clothes fit and I’m tired and have been so busy I haven’t had much time to exercise.  I’m currently wasting my Weight Watchers monthly pass- go Sassy!  So all around getting myself back in shape isn’t going well.

 

Yesterday I clicked on the Health Schmealth category for the blog and began reading.  And you know what?  I was kind of smart.  The things I said and talked about made a lot of sense and it was also really great to just read about how good I felt after I ran.  I have been nostalgic for running as of late and last night just really hit home with how much better I feel, eat and sleep when I have a good run. 

 

But it’s SO hard to get up in the morning when I go to bed late and take care of a 4 month old through the night.  Not sure how to fit the running in.  Maybe Kspin will read this and tell me, she runs and has 4 kids-that’s one more than me.

 

I think I just always need to be prepared to run if I find myself awake at 5:30 and feel fairly rested, like this morning.  I thought about it.  But the treadmill wasn’t set up, I didn’t know where my sports bra was or my running shoes, so I just went back to sleep.

 

But…maybe, just maybe- if that stuff had all been in place, I may have run.  I guess I’ll never know but hopefully I will find out in the not too distant future.

You're really cute, you know that? I'm really wishing that I had been running a lot now that I'm on the spot, but I'm having a hard time finding a good time to run too. Partly it's been rainy here, and it's still too dark in the early am to go alone. However. I did sign up for a race on President's weekend, so now I'm a little more motivated to get out and run. Maybe a goal would help?...

p.s. I may run more, but I'm a bigger mailing slacker than you! :-)

Good for you K. My sisters want to sign up for a 5K this july and I'd like to be able to do it with them. But I have similar problem in that I can't find time in the AM.

-no one is a bigger mail slacker than I. I have 3 year old condolence cards that were never sent.
