The Journey Has Begun: New Year's Resolutions 3-2-1- GO!!!

Hello! As you all know this has been the longest battle for me-having a c-section and not being able to workout! OH but guess what!!! That battle is about to be defeated-I have been able to workout in our basement for the past week. That is right-I am not released from the Dr but last time I went in she said to walk and not lift anything over 25 pounds. So I have been lifting 10 pound dumbbells=2o pounds and walking/jogging on the treadmill. I decided last night to go for two miles. OUCH is all I can say-the first mile took me 9 minutes and 22 seconds and the last mile took about 10 minutes. That is 2 miles under 20 minutes. I must say for being 5 weeks and 5 days post op that is pretty darn good. It is not my best time by any means but it certainly is a start. Needless to say this morning I am sore! It is the good sore!!!

Braden had a tough night-I had chili for lunch and it did not go over well with him last night. He was up until 12:30am screaming with a tummy ache. I finally got him settled and slept on the couch with him-I have got to put a stop to this couch thing-he sleeps so good on his tummy though.

Today my mom is coming over to keep Braden for a minute while I run to eat lunch with Meredith. Her birthday was Tuesday and I have not been out of the house so I told her I would take her to lunch one day. I don't want to get Braden out so Mom will keep him. Janice your time is next-I already have the date set. January 21-I have my 5 year recognition for working at St Vincent's so I need a sitter then. THANK YOU!!

This is so random but I have been craving this every night for a snack-it is so yummy

GRAHAM CRACKERS AND PEANUT BUTTER-I just ate one for breakfast!!!

Diet Coke-Caffeine Free- of course

I would really like to stop by Starbucks on my way home today and get a Caramel Frappucino-I know that is a cold frozen drink but oh I love them!!!

AND I WANT TO GO SHOPPING!! I said I was going to do some online shopping the other day but I would so much rather go try on the outfits and be sure they fit so I don't have to send them/take them back. Plus I need something for January 21st.

You know my checklist from Monday-

workout-this will be an every day thing-even on the weekends!!!
send out some thank you cards
fill in some of Braden's baby book
finish organizing the closets upstairs
maybe do a little shopping online-I need some new work clothes and from the crash course Saturday I will NEVER be able to go shopping with Braden-he is like his daddy-hates and I mean HATES shopping!
Take a NAP!

Here is what I HAVE done
