Back in the game

So far I've met my goal of posting once a week...and yes, the post last week where it was just my weight loss; that totally counts as a post. :/

So I'm back in the game! My ankle is feeling better and I ran for the first time in 2 weeks last night. It wasn't too bad, I was only able to do half of my C25K time which means I ran 12.5 minutes, but I ran faster in those 12.5 minutes then I have yet so far. My goal is to complete the C25K program (duh) and then start over and do it again, sticking to each week until I can get my speed down to my goal, which right now is under 12 minutes per mile.

In other news, my crazy toddler has officially had his second trip to the ER. This time for a fall. I'm not kidding you, he literally fell in the grass at ground level, no big deal, right? Well he was unconscious. And let me tell you, that was the scariest thing ever! Of course by the time we got to the ER he was fine and talking about the helicopter outside, etc, so the doctor and nurses truly thought I was one of those crazy parents that overreacts about everything. "He fell.....in the grass?" YES! "Just the grass, no pavement?" NO! "And he looks totally fine right now, no blood or tears?" NO! Hmmmm. This is not what they said, but obviously what they were thinking. Anyway, thankfully it seems like he just had the wind knocked out of him or he passed out from holding his breath during a long cry. Either way, he is OK and that is all that matters. And he owes me his first 3 years of allowance for an ER visit, make that TWO ER visits.

Just saying....

Jinx!

I always jinx myself! You know, when you say "my baby is sleeping through the night!" or "hey my kid is finally potty trained!"....and then the next night you are up every hour with your infant or your toddler is peeing on the carpet. That's the story of my life, except this time it doesn't involve my kids (amazing, right?)

I purposefully did not post about my C25K running adventures until I was far enough in that I knew I wouldn't quit. When I reach that point where most people drop out, and made it past that, I felt comfortable posting about it. And then the VERY next day, I got injured. A very, very small injury, but still I took 2-3 days off. Tonight I went back out to see how I felt and I felt great!! I didn't run one of my C25K programs, just a run. I ran 12.5 minutes straight. Not my best but not too bad. Anyway, as I was walking home I stepped in a hole, heard a pop, and was standing with my foot completely twisted. FUN! So now I sit here with an Ace bandage holding my ankle steady and I'm in immense pain. Guess I'm taking a few more days off. Sigh.

On a positive note, I had a victory in my weight loss journey this weekend. It's what's known as a "non-scale victory" or NSV. It's basically something that does not have to do with a number on the scale. M and I went shopping and after trying on clothes at 3 different stores, I realized I am officially down another pant size! That's two sizes so far. I was starting to get discouraged because my weight was not changing as quickly as I'd like, but this NSV helped me realize that even though the scale isn't changing, my body is. Yay!
