It HURTS!!

Okay ya'll....here is my truth for today. I worked out yesterday for the first time since Christmas and IT HURTS!!!! Oh my word, I totally forgot the "day after feeling" that you get after you get a good workout. I know, I'm a whiny baby and I need to get over it, but give me my five minutes and I'll be done.

I was jumping rope on Sunday with Grace's new jump rope that she got in her Easter basket. I kept hearing weird noises...yes, body parts were flapping and I didn't really think that I was a flabby person. Really, I thought I was in so-so shape. My Easter dress looked pretty good on me (I thought...) So, I got up yesterday with a purpose. One and only. Get myself to the gym and quick! I dropped off Sus at school and Parker promptly went to the daycare at my wonderful gym....the lady was like, "Oh, Parker, I've missed you...you haven't been here in soooo long!" Yeah, way to rub it in lady! I almost sprinted to the treadmill and got on. Yeah, walking is overrated so I jumped up the speed and ran....for 2.18 miles! I know...I loved it because Sports Center was on, they were talking about football and March Madness...It was GREAT! If you are a first time reader, you will soon realize that I love sports of almost any kind and it is Basketball season still and we are right in the middle of the great college tournament! I LOVE IT!!!

So, now I'm back and in my gym mode. Who wants to go with me???

Rainy days are here again!

It has been raining here off and on for the whole week. I think it didn't rain on Wednesday, but it was so dark and overcast, it may as well have been raining! But we are so very thankful for the rain. Here in Texas we don't get alot of rain, but when we do, look out because it is going to stay and make some noise.

I have been going to the gym with my friend from church, Jill. She and her family are in our life group at church and we love our group. We are the youngest couple, but all of our kids are the same age and it's fun to go out with all of them and have all of our kids get together. The people at the restaurant might not like the noise, but we love getting together and socializing. Jill went to ACU and babysat for the Cope family when she was in college so we have some fun Megan Cope stories in common. It's nice to get on the treadmill and just talk away with a friend. Today I did 3.5 miles and it feels so great!! We ordered pizza tonight, and I don't feel guilty one little bit because I know I walked/ran over 10 miles this week. That is pretty good for me. Even better for me, I haven't had a coke all week. Yes, you read that right, one whole week. I've been doing to my coffee in the morning still (just one cup) and then it's water the rest of the week. Feels great, but boy have I been going to the bathroom more!!
Is this the same with ya'll? When I workout, for some reason I just feel better about the way I look and I just feel better all together. The first of the week I was soooo very sore, but now it's all back to normal and I love that I can go and work out during the week and the kids are taken care of in the Kid's playroom. Maybe this next week Jill and I will try out a class! Who knows?

Well, I'm going to go upstairs with Aaron and the kids to listen to the rain and finish watching Mary Poppins. I love that movie. It's Friday night movie night, you know and we love to watch our family movie.

What is your favorite movie?
