A good day so far......

OMG........ My baby slept in her bed all night long!!! I mean I got up at 8am and was like "Something is wrong, maybe she stopped breathing or something and I RAN to her room where she was still asleep. So I got a long quiet night sleep for the first time in months. Breakfast was a smoothie and then when Chris got up he made pancakes I was going to skip it but they looked so good.  So with coffee, pancakes and a smoothie my breakfast was 13 points WOW! That's ok I still have 15 leaf for the day. Chris hit the gym and then when he got home it was my turn. I ran my first mile in 12min and a my first two miles in 25:30 I was so proud I think I yelled out loud.(sorry gym peeps) I road the bike for 30min and hit 7 miles(now only 5 more to go to reach the 12miles for the triathlon!!) It was such a great feeling to day to run for 6min strait with out getting really out of breath or feeling like my legs where going to fall off. I remember just last month when I started running I could hardly run for 2min intervals and to day I did a 6min run. I'm just to happy to be doing something that makes me scared. Sounds weird but I have lived a life where I'm afraid of people noticing me or looking at me but I'm doing this!! I also ran outside yesterday. That was one of the hardest things I have done so far on this journey(next to getting in a swim suit and going to the pool). I was so afraid that someone would yell at me or call me fat but I did it! I did weigh in on Sunday and I am at 196lbs not where I really want to be but I'm under 200 now and I will take it. I just keep thinking how much easier this will be when I loose 30lbs. If I enjoy running now I think I will really love it then!! We all have a good day, I will be back soon with more of what is going on in my life. -Ruthie
