The Bug


I always find that once I do one good thing, it makes me want to do more. Since I've tackled nutrition, the next step is fitness. Henry is a very active guy and helps us get out and do things. This last week we have had lot of outside adventures: we walked to the farmers market, to a new yogurt store, rode on the pontoon, played golf and tended our garden. After Frances was born, we bought a nice double stroller which Henry really likes, but Frances hates. We will just keep trying, but on all of our walks, it has ended up with me carrying her. I've been able to run a little bit by myself and it feels nice. Don't get me wrong, it's hard, but it feels right. I actually joined a running club and will be doing a beginners group run starting in a few weeks. I'm pretty excited about it now, hopefully I won't get too nervous when the time comes.

I feel like our pace in life is settling down and is much more enjoyable. I would still like a little bit more free time here and there, but really, it is better than expected. I had a great mother's day with my family. Even though the day itself seems a little silly, it's nice to sit back and reflect on how I'm doing as a mother, where I want to be and how grateful I am to have a great mom and family.

With so many things (fitness, family, life), it's all about the journey, I just hope I'm paying enough attention.
