Chasing away Chubby

Question for you ladies:  I am downloading some dance songs off of iTunes.  You know, songs like the electric slide and the cha cha slide that have dances to go with them.  I figure that is a fun way to get some exercise in and get my kids involved too.  The thing is I can’t remember anymore!  I know there were more that I did back when I used to go clubbing but I can’t remember!! Suggestions please!

Today was picture day at school for the younger 3 kids.  So I got them up, made sure they were all beautiful ad pushed them out the door.  I read my bible, and prayed for strength to get through the day without bingeing, prayed for God to give me the need to exercise, and a bunch of other stuff. Then I loaded the washer, and the dishwasher and went to the living room to pick up a bit.  I leaned over to pick something up off the couch and felt a burning pain rip through my shoulder up into my neck.  OUCH!  I was hoping it would go away and it didn’t.  So I laid down for a few minutes and the pain still didn’t subside.  So I got my butt up and walked to Mom’s where I ingested 2 tylenol and put some muscle rub on it and that helped.  I had wanted to do TBL weight training DVD, but decided with my injury I would just walk.  So I walked about .4 of a mile and decided to run.  I ran for over 2 miles!!!  My shoulder didn’t even hurt while I was doing it.  Yipee!  It felt pretty good too.  I haven’t ran in well over a month probably.  So again ladies this goes to show that if you think you can do it- You can!  I spend way too much time talking myself out of things instead of just doing them.

On September 6th- 2.5 weeks away- my hometown is having a 5K race.  I was wondering if I worked really hard if I would be ready to run it? 

Now, keep in mind I am not in it to win it, just want to run the entire way and finish.  What do you ladies think?  I guess the real test will be how my body reacts when I start running again everyday.  There is a 1 mile fun walk that I may do with the kids, but as I was running I was daydreaming about that 5K.  I want to run one so bad, but have thus far been too chicken.  IDK…something else to think about.

Thanks to everyone who left me positive comments yesterday.  I appreciate the support. There isn’t anything new to report there.  I am trying not to dwell on it right now, as I obsessed about it all last week and that only left me depressed and angry.  As much as I would like too, I can not change what he did.  I can’t fix his mistake.  I just have to hang in there and hope for the best-however it turns out. Whether we work things out or not.  I have to believe that things happen for a reason, and this time HE (I have no lessons to learn at this point) is going to learn something from it-one way or another.

Today I am cleaning out the laundry room.  I am dragging all the dirty clothes out the door onto the back deck and then I am going to clean, scrub, and mop the room, and then organize it, then sort the clothes into their respective containers and then put it all back.  Then I dare one of those rugrats of mine to throw another shirt down in the laundry room floor!!!
